Letra The odds Jake Bugg

The odds

A man of great ambition he pushed himself to ....
A man upon a mission with great riches to achieve
All his friends admired him,
And every word they trusted and believed.
And the odds seem forever in his favour.
He made a sound investment in his own abilities
A healthy clientele and some committed employees
Well regarded in the town, money to be made, and cash be found.
And the odds seem forever in his favour.

Sooner or later the man is bound to fall!
Won't find ...
Sooner or later empires are bound to fall!
The wind blows forever without waver
....
But the odds were not endeavored
Forever in your favour!

He bought a grander house on a more expensive street
Quite a price to pay for a place to rest his feet
Felt the water rise before he knew it wasn't all ...
...
Still he thought he had the odds in his favour.
We hate to disappoint you, the banker didn't .....
The string of repossessions, his wife's expensive heels
But sitting down upon the kerb he felt a certain feeling of relief
And he knew the odds were far from in his favour.

Sooner or later the man is bound to fall!
Won't find ...
Sooner or later it's the end of the road!
Does the wind don't blow forever without waver
....
But the odds were not endeavored
Forever in your favour!

You're expensive pockets are empty and you're feeling insecure
I think you may resent it, and in fact, I'm pretty sure
Is being wealthy really all that far from being poor
I'm not so sure!
And the odds are not forever in your favour!
