With his backing group The Shadows, he dominated the British popular music scene in the late 1950s and early 1960s, before and during the The Beatles' first year in the charts. A conversion to Christianity and subsequent softening of his music led to his having more of a pop than rock image. Although never able to achieve the same impact in the United States as in Britain (in spite of several chart hits there), Richard has remained a popular music, film, and television personality in the UK and also retains a following in several other countries.
During the last six decades, Cliff Richard has charted many hit singles, and holds the record (along with Elvis Presley) as the only act to make the UK singles charts in all of its active decades (1950s–2000s). According to his website, he has sold 250 million records over the course of his career. In the British charts alone, Richard has had more than 150 singles, albums and EPs make the top 20.
Lucky Lips
Cliff Richard & The Shadows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I didn't have many toys
But my mama used to say, "Son
You got more than other boys
Now you may not be good looking
And you may not be too rich
But you'll never, ever be alone
'Cause you've got lucky lips"
Lucky lips are always kissin'
Lucky lips are never blue
Lucky lips will always find
A pair of lips so true
Don't need a four-leaf clover
Rabbit's foot or a good luck charm
With lucky lips you'll always have
A baby in your arms
Now, I never get heartbroken
No, I never get the blues
And if I play that game of love
I know I just can't lose
When they spin that wheel of fortune
All I do is kiss my chips
And I know I'm bound to win, yeah
'Cause I've got lucky lips
Lucky lips are always kissing
Lucky lips are never blue
Lucky lips will always find
A pair of lips so true
Don't need a four-leaf clover
Rabbit's foot or good luck charm
With lucky lips you'll always have
A baby in your arms
Oh, lucky lips are always kissing (oh, those lucky lips)
Lucky lips are never blue (oh, those lucky lips)
Lucky lips will always find (oh, those lucky lips)
A love that's true (oh, those lucky lips)
I don't need a four-leaf clover
Rabbit's foot or good luck charm
With lucky lips you'll always have
A baby in your arms
The song "Lucky Lips" by Cliff Richard involves a mother assuring her son that he is special and loved, even without material possessions or physical attractiveness. She tells him that he has something more valuable than luck - "lucky lips" - which will always ensure that he will never be alone in his life. The song then transitions to the adult version of the singer, who declares that he never gets heartbroken or feels blue because of his lucky lips, which always lead him to find true love.
The song's message is that true love is evergreen and can't be bought with charms or amulets. It's the affection within a person's heart and their willingness to share a kiss that holds innate power. The song is upbeat, hopeful, and encourages listeners not to give up on finding love, as it will always find them if they have "lucky lips." Additionally, the song's catchy lyrics and rhythm make it enjoyable and fun to sing along to.
