Story behind the song
I got this very nice piano hook reminscent of Dusty Springfield era pop in the Bacharach style. As I was scheming and dreaming of breaking away, why not write it all up in a song?
Lyrics
Lottery of Life by Neil Haigh Standing here in pots and pans I wash my way to wonderland The soap suds covering my arms are pearls and diamond silver charms in my dreams Ten past eight rush through the gate with half my toast still on the plate I’ve missed my lift I’ll soon be late But someone else will wait in my chauffeur-driven dreams How real it all seems Tell me can you help with a scheme To let me live out a dream Every day I cross my heart, tomorrow be a brand new start Every day wish on a star, no matter if it seems to far for you Destiny decide my fate - with all the nation watch and wait The numbers roll I watch them fall - its someone else that gets the call of their dreams How real it all seemed Tell me can you help with a scheme To let me live out a dream
