Good Luck Lyrics

Tell me tell me is life just a playground
Think you're the real deal honey
And someone'll always look after you

But wake up baby
You're so totally deluded
You'll end up old and lonely
If you don't get a bullet in your head

Good Luck good luck
Good luck in your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares honey
When you're resting your head

You sold me sold me
Sold me down the river now
Hope you're feeling happy now
Now you'll always have a sneer in your smile

But wake up baby
You're so totally deluded
You'll end up old and lonely
If you don't get a bullet in your head

Good luck good luck
Good luck in your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares honey
When you're resting your head

And I'm glad so glad that I'm done with you
No more crying crying leaving me so black and blue
You backed me up against the wall but I stand tall
Don't give a damn no more

Oh baby bye bye
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
Without you

Good good luck
In your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares when your resting your head
Good good luck
In your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares

Good luck good luck
Good luck in your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares honey
When you're resting your head

Good Luck

This song tells the story of a woman getting her no-good boyfriend out of her life. Felix Buxton of Basement Jaxx wrote the lyric. "It was from the perspective of my girlfriend singing to me," he said in our interview . "I was having a go at myself from another person's perspective."

Lisa Kekaula from the American group The Bellrays provided vocals on this track. Basement Jaxx brought her to England to sing a different track, "Plug It In," but it didn't work out. They wanted to make use of her talents, so on the morning before she left, the duo quickly put a song together, which became "Good Luck." It had the "old-soul" feel that suited Kekaula's voice, and the singer nailed it.

Kekaula stars in the video as a prison guard whose ex arrives as an inmate. It was helmed by the UK director
Mat Kirkby, who also did the Basement Jaxx video for "You Don't Know Me" and the Muse video for "Hysteria."
