Lyrics Undercover 349: “Lucky Man” – Emerson, Lake and Palmer
From this episode…

This song almost didn’t happen, on the last day of recording their first album, the group did not have enough material to finish the minimum content required by their contract. In a last ditch effort, Greg Lake brought up this song to bring the total side B time on the LP to 21 minutes.
