Con buena letra 1: Charmed Life by Mike Ness

Tipo duro donde los haya o al menos esa apariencia da con su cuerpo tatuado y su pose chulesca, Mike Ness mucho más que un icono del punk rock. Superviviente a una tumultuosa vida llena de conflictos y malos rollos, carcel incluida, el bueno de Ness ha estrujado su mente para ofrecer letras brillantes tanto en Social Distortion como en solitario. De su imprescindible Cheating At Solitaire es Charmed Life aunque en justicia todas las canciones merecen un hueco en esta seccion y lo tendrán con el tiempo.

Some say it's the strong who survive

Sometimes I wonder if there's any truth to that at all

I've been lucky and that's a fact in a crazy world

I've led a charmed life

I know judges and I know priests

I know gangsters, bad cops and lawyers too

But I don't need none of them to sing this song

I've led a charmed life

No this ain't no hard luck story

Some have had better and some have had worse

Then again until you've walked my way

You'd have to say I've led a charmed life

I'm not so scared of dying

I've got my health , my friends and family too

I'm just afraid of living and not being sure

I've led a charmed life

No this ain't no hard luck story

Some have had better and some have had worse

But then again until you've walked in my shoes

You'd have to say I've led a charmed life

When the dice come tumbling down I'll be waiting

To see what luck comes my way

When the cards get passed around I'll be waiting

To see what hand I should play

I believe it's neither wrong or right

To cross that line from the dark to the light

And I say, "Even in the worst of times against all odds,

I seem to have led a charmed life."
