Winning Streak Lyrics


Through summers long and winters cold
May you always have someone good to hold
And may good fortune wait on every bend
And may your winning streak
May it never endSo, roll the dice, boy, 'cause my money's on you
Take my advice now and put your money down too
Because there's something in the eye you can't pretend
And may your winning streak
May it never endAnd may the sign
Of the Southern Cross
Be some comfort to you when you're lost
And may the devil's evil eye
Pass you byWell, it's not for glory, I tell you true
That I do these things I do for you
But for a promise I made now I must defend
And may your winning streak
May it never endAnd may the sign of the cross
Be some comfort when you're lost,

Help you when you're all broke down,
May the spirit of good brethren
Turn you aroundAnd may the devil's evil eye
Pass you right by
Don't you look back my friend
And may the sisters of good charity
Take you inThrough summers long and winters cold
May you always have someone good to hold
And may good fortune wait on every bend
And may your winning streak
May it never endMay your winning streak
May it never end

Vocalist and guitarist for Irish rock group The Frames. Hansard quit school at age 13 to begin busking on local Dublin streets. He first came to public attention as guitar player 'Outspan Foster' in the Alan Parker film The Commitments, a role he subsequently regretted, believing it distracted from his music career. In 2003 he presented the first series of Other Voices: Songs from a Room, which showcased Irish music talent on RTÉ. He released The Swell Season, his first solo album, on April 21st 2006, in collaboration with a Czech singer and multiinstrumentalist Markéta Irglová, Marja Tuhkanen and Bertrand Galen.

Glen recently starred in the movie 'Once' alongside Markéta Irglová which won a prestigious Sundance Audience Award in 2007, as well as the 2008 Academy Award for Best Originial Song (for "Falling Slowly"), beating out three songs from the Disney musical "Enchanted" and one song from "August Rush" (both were heavy contenders). Its Irish release took place on 23rd March 2007 and appeared in cinemas further afield later in the year.

Glen's latest album, Rhythm and Repose, was released in June 2012.
