Among the band's songs are "The Ballad of Barry Allen", based on Barry Allen (The Flash), a character co-created by Infantino's uncle Carmine Infantino, and "New Lang Syne" (sometimes also called "Thank God It's Over"), a new New Year's Eve song featured on National Public Radio's All Things Considered in 2001.
Lucky
Jim's Big Ego Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky you left me
I think I'm better off this way
I'm lucky you left me
Although I wanted you to stay
I'm lucky you left me
I don't cry a lot at night
I'm lucky you left me
Don't worry darling
I'm alright
When first you went away I thought my days and nights were forever gonna suck
But now with just a little time I can see my future brightening up
'Cause the truth is:
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky you left me
I know I'll never be the same
I'm lucky you left me
I feel a little sorry for what's his name
I'm lucky you left me
Because hey, you really were a *bleep*
I'm lucky you left me
And I no longer want to scratch
That itch
Now here's the part of the song where you'd expect to find a little irony
About how I'd really much rather have you back... sorry
'Cause the truth is:
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky
I'm lucky you left me
Unfaithful and untrue
I'm lucky you left me
Every day I forget a little more about you
I'm lucky you left me
I think I'm better off alone
I'm lucky you left me
Darling please
Don't come home
Don't come home
Don't come home
Don't come home
Don't come home
Jim's Big Ego's song "Lucky" is a cheerful, upbeat tune about a happy break-up. The song's repetitive, anthemic chorus of "I'm lucky" underscores the singer's sense of relief and contentment with his newfound freedom. The opening lines of the song serve as an introduction to the song's central theme and sets up the irony of the track. He repeats the phrase "I'm lucky" eight times in rapid succession, as though he's trying to convince himself of his good fortune.
The song's first verse describes the singer's gratitude for his ex-partner's decision to leave him. He claims that he's better off without her and that he no longer cries at night. In the bridge, he comments on how he thought his days and nights were going to suck forever after the break-up, but with time, things have started to look up.
The second verse confronts his ex-partner's flaws straight on, calling her unfaithful and untrue while also feeling bad for her future partners. In the final verse, he declares that he's better off alone and even pleads with his ex-partner to not come back, refusing to let her negative energy back into his life. The song ends on the refrain of "Don't come home," a defiant declaration of independence from someone who's been given a second chance.
