If You Can’t Be Good
[Verse 1]
Ten years I've known you now
Still friends, I don't know how
Each time we talk we row
We're chalk and cheese

[Verse 2]
You are one son-of-a-gun
The wreck of last night's fun
You're more commotion than
A dog with seven fleas

[Pre-Chorus]
All night lights you burn
Lit up from stem to stern
You're sailing for heavy weather
I hope we both pull through together

[Chorus]
And if you can't be good, be lucky
If you can't be good, be lucky
If you can't be good, be lucky now
And if you can't be good, be lucky
If you can't be good, be lucky
If you can't be good, be lucky now
[Verse 3]
You never hit the brakes
You never make mistakes
Disaster's in your wake
Doing what you please

[Verse 4]
But still for all the scuzz
A brother is as a brother does
I love you just because
We've ploughed the seven seas

[Pre-Chorus]
All night lights you burn
Lit up from stem to stern
We're sailing for heavy weather
I hope we both pull through together

[Chorus]
And if you can't be good, be lucky
If you can't be good, be lucky
If you can't be good, be lucky now
And if you can't be good, be lucky
If you can't be good, be lucky
If you can't be good, be lucky now
[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
All night lights you burn
You're sailing for heavy weather
I hope we both pull through together

[Chorus]
And if you can't be good, be lucky
If you can't be good, be lucky
If you can't be good, be lucky now
And if you can't be good, be lucky
If you can't be good, be lucky
If you can't be good, be lucky now

[Outro]
If you can't be lucky, lean on me
If you can't be good, be lucky now
