Not at all
Jil Is Lucky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish I could tell you all
I wish I could tell you all
the things I know
all I know
I sang for good old friends of mine
I sing since a long long time
long time ago
now I’ve grown old
I let the people know

yesterday
was another day
believe me when I say
that this is not

this is not the way I planed it
not at all
not the way I planed it at all
that light and all that noise in my head
I don't know, baby I don't know it at all

I was wandering around and down
the streets
I was cleaning out
when I was younger
only two years younger
I figured out it was unlikely
the way they stared at me
what could that be they were asking me
an ant or a bee ?


yesterday
was another day
hear me when I say
that this isn't the

this is not the way I planed it
not at all
not the way I planed it at all
that light and all that noise in my head
I don't know, baby I don't know it at all

no no no no
I wasn't invited
to the parties I missed
and now
all those faces in my head
are burning burning

well well well I know
you heard me on the radio
well I know, but you used to
turn up your nose at me before
I wish I could tell you more

this is not the way I planed it
not at all
not the way I planed it at all
that light and all that noise in my head
I don't know, baby I don't know it at all
