Every sports station these days crams dozens of betting adverts into each commercial break. One of the most annoying recently concerned the "gang" of Ladbroke lads who had a right old wheeze while cheerfully accumulating dosh at incredible odds. Of course it all took place on their mobile phone, usually while they were on their way to the pub or the footie or embarrassing some girls.
This song is about that.....
I'm not going to be so regular on the forum for a while so I do apologise if I don't contribute as much as usual but I've got some important life stuff on at the moment
Enjoy

Well he's on to a winner
And it runs every night
It makes your wallet considerably thinner
But he won it back on the superstar fight
You live the life
It's easy day or night
Although you haven't won a thing
Don't tell you're wife
Your little secrets safe until
You sold the platinum ring
Well he's on to a winner
And it runs every night
It makes your wallet considerably thinner
But he won it back on the superstar fight
Same every day
But that's the price you've have to pay
Those guys just know you'll get it straight
Just blown away
Bad luck is really here to stay
Your big winner before it's too late
So they say this is your winning streak
Tap, tap, boom, flash
The race it was a freak !
You live the life
It's easy day or night
Although you haven't won a thing
Don't tell you're wife
Your little secrets safe until
You sold the platinum ring
Well he's on to a winner
And it runs every night
It makes your wallet considerably thinner
But he won it back on the superstar fight
