Del Amitri - Some Other Sucker's Parade lyrics

I must've had a million damn unlucky days
But there ain't no cloud that
A bottle can't chase away
And I've done my deal of living
Ran from place to place
But when the roof comes in I
Don't wanna take it straight

They say with faith any soul can make it
But hell, why should I wait
Till the clouds go rain on
Some other sucker's parade

I've had my share of heartaches
Let downs and tricks
But the everyday blues is the
One thing I can't fix
And I've heard those holy
Brethren muttering my name
But it ain't no sin to
Drink when you're suffering
Patience, they say, is a saintly virtue
But hell, why should I wait
Till the clouds go rain on
Some other sucker's parade

When every heavy skyline just
Empties on your fate
Sometimes keeping dry's something
To celebrate

So if the road of sin is the one I'm taking
I ain't gonna stray
Till the clouds go rain on
Some other sucker's parade
