Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Lucky Man (Official Lyric Video)

Emerson, Lake & Palmer ‘Lucky Man’

Celebrating ELPs 50th anniversary and the re-press of their super deluxe, career spanning CD/LP/book box set ‘Fanfare (1970-1997)’: https://elp.lnk.to/StoreID

New, beautifully animated lyric video of this seminal ELP track, released as a single in December 1970. The song is taken from the group's globally successful, self-titled debut album which reached No.4 in the UK and No.18 in the US in 1970.

Written by Greg Lake when he was 12 years old and recorded by the trio using improvised arrangements, ‘Lucky Man’ contains one of rock music's earliest instances of a Moog synthesizer solo.

Lyrics:
He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door

Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was

White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was laid

Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was

He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing

Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was

A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died

Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
