He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was laid
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/emerson_lake_palmer/lucky_man.html ]
He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, 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
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Sounds to me like this song is about jay gatsby from the great gatsby. It may just be because i'm reading it right now in school, but parts of it definitely sound like they're about his character.
