Lyrics

Lady Luck and Sister Vanity
They were so easy to ignore
Opened a door and let me in
Lost my reason, lost my sanity
Started doing things I'd never done before
Became a Hollywood star
For the crowds to adore
But just as the wheel of fortune spin
Those two good friends deserted me
Left me in the oasis
Surrounded by faces laughing at me
Well, it's hell when you're down in L.A
They say the sweetest things
They'll give you everything
Your wildest dreams
The power of Kings
What a shame
She whispers promises
She softly sings
Until her final sting takes everything
Lost myself in her profanity
Olé, she was so easy to explore
Gave me a little bit more of what I'd been
Lost my home, lost my family
Started sleeping 'round in bar-room floors
Because a Hollywood joke
For the crowds to ignore
L.A
They say the sweetest things
Written by: Paul Young, Vic Emerson
