The rain it has arrived at last for which we had waited
The hawkers have packed up their stands
Nothing to be traded
The soviets beside the quay run to the freighters
The terrace of the rex hotel is closed by the waiters

We need you, oh lucky jim
Where have you gone?
Oh lucky jim

The mistress has left her home
Back to the dances
The smoking dens are starting up for life's own enhancing
Nobody goes to the war coz there's none to go to
We just sit around in cafés bored, sit waiting for you

We need you, oh lucky jim
Where have you gone?
Oh lucky jim

Why did you ever go up north?
It is not for you
They'll strip your little weak heart clean
What will you do?
The australians in a bunny bar are waiting your return
Everyone wants a piece of you, a piece of you to burn

We need you, oh lucky jim
Where have you gone?
Oh lucky jim
We miss you here
Oh lucky jim
Where have you gone?
Oh lucky jim
