lyrics

If i were a betting man, i would bet my race is run;
and if i were a praying man, I would pray that i was wrong...

but i was raised to hate the gamble, and not to worship a lost cause,
now in the many masses is my only faith restored,


cos' as for those conceited Leaders, i am no longer sure;
just one man does not prove, all that's said is wasted words,
yet only through Time alone, can we find our tender cure:

yes in Time, i do Believe -- I'd bet my Life on that;
-- I'd bet my Life on that, and more.....

If I were a betting man... If I were a betting man........
I would pray that i was wrong... I would pray that i was wrong...

If i were a betting man, i would bet my race is run;
and if i were a praying man, I would pray that i was wrong...
..............

I might pray that i was wrong... //

about

Pat Bruce Melbourne, Australia

"2-Hat" Pat Bruce is one of Footscray's lesser-known Alternative/Roots troubadours.
His heartfelt song-craft conveys a raw mix of Celtic-Folk, tinged with muddy country-roots, all drenched with a grungy punk spirit.

As an intermittent stalwart of the inner-Melbourne music scene over the past decade, some say he is finally maturing like a good wine.

Decide for yourself.
