about

2001. From the album Song and Dance 2016. One of the original 4 verses has been omitted.

lyrics

I was just stardust spinning through space
Coming from nowhere and popped into place,
With all of the world and its past history
It was right here and now I came to be.
So what’s the story, why choose me?
And if it was just a lottery -

Who was naming the numbers?
Who was spinning the wheel?
In the who gets all or nothing lottery
Oh lucky me.

Each night we watch on our wide screen TV's
The wars and the hunger the death and disease,
In a world warming degree by degree
From fossil fuel burning for you and for me;
We want to change it, it isn’t fair,
But we turn it over and it isn’t there.

Who was naming the numbers?
Who was spinning the wheel?
In the who gets all or nothing lottery
Oh lucky me.

The morning I woke in broke kindly for me
Blessings like blossom fell from the tree,
And even on days when branches are bare
I know I have had more than my share;
I’ll count my blessings where the blossoms lie
And I’ll be wondering ‘til the day I die -

Who was naming the numbers?
Who was spinning the wheel?
In the who gets all or nothing lottery
Oh lucky me.
Oh lucky me.
Oh lucky me.

Dave Atkinson Chester, UK

I have been writing songs since 1967 when I was 17 and since I have accumulated over 440. Early influences were Dylan, Cohen, Jackson Browne Joni Mitchell, Kristofferson. Though never 'successful' in any conventional sense, my songs and guitar have led many sing-rounds and a couple of 1970's albums sell for £100s as 'rare vinyl'. Above all, it has been a happy adventure. www.atkinsongs.co.uk ... more
