Description
Love here sounds not like an ideal fairy tale with fireworks, but like a slightly strange superstition intertwined with personal habits and small rituals. Why catch falling stars or knock on wood when you have someone nearby with whom everything is already working out? The warmth in the voice shines through the playful irony: as if the very idea that ‘we make our own luck’ seems both bold and slightly overconfident.
The music keeps this admission in a light dance - where there is room for both light audacity and playful coquetry. You can feel it: no omens are needed when everything real has already happened, and it is right here, in the rhythm, in the words, in the darkness, where the two continue to dance.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Daisy's bare naked
I was distraught
He loves me not
He loves me not
Penny's unlucky
I took him back and then
Stepped on a crack
And the black cat laughed
And baby, I'll admit I've been a little superstitious
Fingers crossed until you put your hand on mine
Seems to be that you and me we make our own luck
A bad sign, is all good
I ain't got to knock on wood
All of that bitchin', wishing on a falling star
Never did me any good
I ain't got to knock on wood
It's you and me forever dancing in the dark
All over me, it's understood
I ain't got to knock on wood
Forgive me, it sounds cocky
He (ah!) matized me
And opened my eyes
Redwood tree
It ain't hard to see
His love was the key
That opened my thighs
Girls, I don't need to catch the bouquet
To know a hard rock is on the way
And baby, I'll admit I've been a little superstitious
The curse on me was broken by your magic wand
Seems to me that you and me we make our own luck
New Heights of manhood
I ain't gotta knock on wood
All of that bitchin', wishing on a falling star
Never did me any good
I ain't got to knock on wood
It's you and me forever dancing in the dark
All over me, it's understood
I ain't got to knock on wood
Forgive me, it sounds cocky
He (ah!) matized me
And opened my eyes
Redwood tree
It ain't hard to see
His love was the key
That opened my thighs
Forgive me, it sounds cocky
He (ah!) matized me
And opened my eyes
Redwood tree
It ain't hard to see
His love was the key
That opened my thighs
