Basement Jaxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
You 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
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 good luck
Good luck in your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares honey
When you're resting your head
Good luck good luck
Good luck in your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares honey
When you're resting your head
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
The lyrics to Basement Jaxx's song "Good Luck" are a warning to someone who thinks they are invincible and that life is just a game. The opening lines, "Tell me tell me is life just a playground, think you're the real deal honey, and someone'll always look after you," suggest that the person being spoken to believes that they can do anything without consequence, and that someone will always be there to pick them up if they fall. However, the chorus warns that this is not the case and that the person will ultimately end up "old and lonely" if they continue down this path.
The line "You sold me down the river now, hope you're feeling happy now, now you'll always have a sneer in your smile" suggests that the person being spoken to has betrayed the singer in some way and that they are now reaping the rewards of their selfishness. The chorus repeats again to drive home the message that the person will not be able to avoid their problems forever.
The final verse is a triumph for the singer, as they declare that they are "done with you" and no longer affected by the lies and mistreatment. The chorus repeats several more times, possibly to emphasize the warning and ensure that the person understands the repercussions of their actions.

Tell me tell me is life just a playground
Do you believe life is simply a place to play and have fun?
Think you're the real deal honey
Do you believe you are the genuine article, my dear?
And someone'll always look after you
Do you think someone will always take care of you?
But wake up baby
You need to snap out of it, my dear
You're so totally deluded
You're completely fooled by your own illusions
You'll end up old and lonely
You'll grow old and spend your life alone
If you don't get a bullet in your head
Unless you end up killing yourself
Good luck good luck
Here's hoping you get what you deserve
Good luck in your new bed
I wish you all the best in your new life
Enjoy your nightmares honey
Have fun with your bad dreams, my dear
When you're resting your head
While you sleep soundly at night
You sold me sold me
You tricked me, you persuaded me to do something I didn't want to do
You sold me down the river now
You betrayed me and abandoned me
Hope you're feeling happy now
I hope you're satisfied now
Now you'll always have a sneer in your smile
You'll forever have a hidden smirk behind your grin
And I'm glad so glad that I'm done with you
I'm happy and relieved to be done with you
No more crying crying leaving me so black and blue
No more tears, no more hurting me until I bruise
You backed me up against the wall but I stand tall
You pushed me to my limits but I managed to stay strong
Don't give a damn no more
I don't care anymore
Oh baby bye bye
Farewell, my dear
No more lies
No more deceitful words
Without you
Now that you're gone

@listianocrowe
Listened to this for so long after I was betrayed by someone and, not only are the words perfect, but the voice has enough gravel and venom to sell the emotion! Beautiful, ballsy, ballistic and brilliant! 👍

Very surprised that this song isn't more popular than it is.
