Lyrics for Hollywood (Down On Your Luck) - Live At The Hammersmith Odeon, 1981

They say people out in Hollywood Live their life out in black and white They're livin' out a Technicolor dream Next day, they're a star overnight Not like in New York Man, it's tougher Not like in London town Boy, you suffer Nobody give a break When you're down on your luck Everybody's on the take When you're down on your luck You can't make a mistake When you're down on your luck People out in Hollywood They got a lot of class You see the boys struttin' down the boulevard Tryin' to make a pass' Not like in New York It's high rise, it's concrete and complex Not like in ol' London town It reigns down on its subjects Nobody give a damn When you're down on your luck Nobody understands When you're down on your luck Lady Chance, she won't dance When you're down on your luck People out in Hollywood They can make it to the stars They can reach the screen Drive around in big expensive convertible cars Not like in New York All you've got is Broadway Not like in the West end of London You can't make it no way Nobody give a damn When you're down on your luck Nobody understands When you're down on your luck Lady Chance, she won't dance When you're down on your luck You've got to strut your stuff When you're down on your luck You can't take it easy, it ain't good enough When you're down on your luck Everybody's on the make When you're down on your luck Nobody give a fair deal When you're down on your luck Nobody understands my Uncle Sam When you're down on your luck I'm ready for the dance When you're down on your luck I gotta make a dollar holler When you're down on your luck When you're down on your luck
