Matthew and His Luck

Lyrics

Well, I bought that old Corsa,
Started out bright and new,
But every time I took it out,
It just wouldn’t make it through.
On the side of the road, I sat,
With my heart in my throat,
The mechanic stole my jack,
Left me feelin’ like a joke.

Oh, Matthew and his luck,
With cars that just won’t run,
Broken dreams and empty tanks,
Guess I’ll never be the one.
I’m chasin’ after engines,
But they just run away,
Hoping this Audi’s magic,
Will finally save the day.


Then came the Mazda, sleek and grey,
Thought I’d finally found my ride,
But texting in the vicarage garden,
I put my dreams in a tree’s side.
The crunch of metal, the scent of grass,
As I sat there, feelin' low,
Just a boy and his bad luck,
Watchin' the sunset glow.

Oh, Matthew and his luck,
With cars that just won’t run,
Broken dreams and empty tanks,
Guess I’ll never be the one.
I’m chasin’ after engines,
But they just run away,
Hoping this Audi’s magic,
Will finally save the day.

Then the Citroën came around,
Thought, “This one’s gotta last,”
But an hour on the motorway,
And it left me in the past.
With the smell of burnt rubber,
And my heart full of dread,
I just stood there in disbelief,
Wasn’t much left to be said.

Oh, Matthew and his luck,
With cars that just won’t run,
Broken dreams and empty tanks,
Guess I’ll never be the one.
I’m chasin’ after engines,
But they just run away,
Hoping this Audi’s magic,
Will finally save the day.

Now here I sit in my new ride,
That diamond-white Audi gleams,
With the feel of leather ‘round my heart,
Maybe this time, it’s not just dreams.
With the wind in my hair,
And hopeful thoughts in my mind,
I’m revving up my life,
Let’s leave the past behind.

Oh, Matthew and his luck,
With cars that just won’t run,
Broken dreams and empty tanks,
Guess I’ll never be the one.
I’m chasin’ after engines,
But they just run away,
Hoping this Audi’s magic,
Will finally save the day.

So here’s to roads untraveled,
And the journeys yet to be,
With a smile on my face,
Maybe this time, I’m free.
Oh, Matthew and his luck,
With a twist of fate on the way,
In my brand new Audi,
Let’s drive into the day.
