Biography

Wet Wet Wet are a successful Scottish pop band and scored a number of hits in the British charts and around the world, mainly in the 1980s and 1990s. Formed in Clydebank, Scotland in 1986, they took their name from the Scritti Politti song, Gettin, havin' and holdin'. After a split in 1999, they reformed in 2004, releasing new material and touring. In July 2017 it was announced that Marti Pellow was leaving the band to concentrate on solo work. Kevin Simm was announced as new singer in September 2018. Tommy Cunningham and Neil Mitchell left the band in May 2022, with Graeme Duffin becoming official member at the same time after having been a semi-official tour and session musician with the Wets since their debut album.

LYRICS

I was living in a world of make believe
When my best friend wrote and told me
That there may be a job in the city
And you never told me
He would dream about another scheme
About another sordid hall of dreams
About a man who's king of industry
He would swear by his mouth almighty
He would buy the best
But never something new
And he never told me

I like kicking in the gutter and
Wishing I was lucky
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky
Oh I like kicking in the gutter
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

It's the only life I know
Lie, lie, lie is all you ever do
To make me want to push on through
Cry, cry, cry cry is all I ever do
Say that's how you want to make me push on through

I like kicking in the gutter and
Wishing I was lucky
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky
Oh I like kicking in the gutter
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

My best friend wrote and told me so
He said that there may be a job in the city

I like kicking in the gutter and
Wishing I was lucky
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky
I was wishing I was lucky

Hey son go, hey son go, to the city
