Hansard, Glen - Winning Streak Lyrics






Through summers long and winters cold
May you always have someone good to hold
And may good fortune wait on every bend
And may your winning streak
May it never end

So, roll the dice, boy, 'cause my money's on you
Take my advice now and put your money down too
Because there's something in the eye you just can't pretend
And may your winning streak
May it never end

And may the sign
Of the Southern Cross
Be some comfort to you when you're lost
And may the devil's evil eye
Pass you by

Well, it's not for glory, I tell you true
That I do these things I do for you
But for a promise I made now I must defend
And may your winning streak
May it never end

And may the sign of the cross
Be some comfort when you're lost
Help you when you're all broke down
May the spirit of good brethren
Turn you around

And may the devil's evil eye
Pass you right by
Don't you look back my friend
And may the sisters of good charity
Take you in

Through summers long and winters cold
May you always have someone good to hold
And may good fortune be constant and loyal friend
And may your winning streak
May it never end

May your winning streak
May it never end

  1. I.... H....

    May your winning never end!!

    A piece of honest, meaningful music....touching

  3. g.... j....

    This song is awesome ....How does this song only have 500k views 🤔🤔🤔 strange

  4. K.... M....

    Amazing artist! Yes! Winters cold- good tunage right here- May your winning streak never end!

  5. P.... G....

    Part of the melody is exactly the same as " Changes . (1972 BlackSabbath). The verses to be exact.

  6. D.... B....

    Captain Paddy Brown! I saw his framed portrait! I was Ladder 3's flower lady after 9/11 xxx

  7. W.... ....

    wonderful song...reminds me of Bob Dylan's 'Forever Young'

  8. O.... ....

    Nice job.

  9. J.... M....

    Not typically my kind of music, but I'm currently obsessed with this song. 💕

  10. H.... G....

    This may feel like an odd choice, but this was one of the songs I chose for my mom's funeral. This song is uplifting, yet has such a bittersweet vibe that it just felt right.

    I recently found an article where Glen Hansard described this song as ""simply a well wish to a friend, to someone who's been finding it hard to see the goodness in their lives."

    Now I'm especially glad I chose it, as that was kind of how I felt at the time. I was saying goodbye and wishing her well in her new spiritual journey.

  11. D.... G....

    Cette chanson m'accompagne. Quelles superbes voix et mélodie; Merci Monsieur Glen Hansard

  12. R.... K....

    A remarkable song with a remarkable message.  This song was introduced to me by Ryan Arnold of WXRT radio Chicago tonight.  Let the binary wood warm the mantle and fortify the cast.

  13. G.... A....

    fenomenal, me encanta la musica de glen hansard

  14. w.... ....

    with mick hucknall on vocals

  15. s.... ....

    Soooo....has no one else noticed that this is basically a re-write of "Forever Young" by Bob Dylan?

    s.... ....

    I'm pretty sure Glen was aware of that too. I really wonder how this song was sonically back when it was called 'Losing Streak'

    s.... ....

    swizzleberry1 Glen made an interesting remark about it on the Off Camera show with Sam Jones. Check it out :)

  16. t.... v....

    beautiful

  17. H.... ....

    come on people pls dont support bullshit like that a winning streak is not luck

  18. E.... A....

    Song Of SuperGirl Episode 4

    E.... A....

    Seems to be a connection between Glen Hansard and DC. Arthur Darvill starred in Once.

  19. O.... H....

    Your the man glen, and a gent to boot

  20. b.... ....

    Awesome !!!!!

  21. K.... M....

    Sometimes you hear a song and just move on. Well, I heard this song and it moved me. My son just got offered a great new job yesterday and I sent this song to him as a congrats and kudos.

    K.... M....

    Hope is he still happy there...

  22. J.... M....

    Through summers long and winters coldMay you always have someone good to hold,And may good fortune wait on every bend,And may your winning streak,May it never end

  30. B.... ....

    Ode to Marty Whelan

  31. J.... ....

    ooooh its that guy from the movie 'once'!

  32. P.... S....

    I raise my glass to the song/writer.......super song ...Glen

  33. K.... M....

    This is such a blatant rip-off of John Prine's "All the Best" it makes me want to barf into my hands smear them on some public hand rail. Glen Hantard is seriously a tool.

    K.... M....

    +Karl Mustardseed not all of us can stand to listen john prine's voice, despite his amazing songwriting. lol

    K.... M....

    Different chords and a slightly different melody, there's only 24 notes, everyone rips everyone else off

    K.... M....

    And Mustardseed...you don't have to listen. I'm sure no one's giving you shit about looking like a serial killer/rapist version of Rick Moranis. I"m sure there's a lot of other artists out there that you do have respect for...so just move on dude.

    K.... M....

    Alright, I've been laughing at this for about five minutes now. I hope it stops soon.

  34. W.... F....

    Fantastic song.

  35. R.... S....

    Great Song xx

  41. S.... V....

    Damn, and I was just thinking this guy already made his best material. Shame on myself for being wrong. Can't wait for the concert in Brussels in a couple weeks, I'm really stoked now.

  42. d.... ....

    Sounds exactly like Forever Young by Bob Dylan, even some of the lyrics.

  43. A.... S....

    Love this track!

  44. K.... K....

    love this ..

    I can't wait!!!!!   I can hardly contain my excitement!   #Love "Winning Streak"

  52. O.... W....

    It remind's me Van's songs a lot.

    O.... W....

    Which one of Van's songs...I'm curious?

  53. L.... ....

    Bob Dylan-esque.  Great song

  54. M.... R....

    A moving song. Well done. May you have your own unending winning streak.

  55. D.... G....

    I'm guessing this is for his pa since he was a boxer and died not too long ago

  56. S.... P....

    As always a song with emotions and encouragement. He always stirs me with every song he writes and every song he sings!

  57. d.... ....

    Tabs?? Anyone?

  58. G.... S....

    2:06 is so gorgeous. Glen is such a consistent artist

  59. V.... H....

    Beautiful. Can't wait to see him in Chicago!

  60. S.... K....

    This sounds like a Bruce Springsteen song. And that's certainly not a bad thing!

  61. J.... M....

    Sound exactly like Dylan's forever young

  62. D.... S....

    Like always, exceptional.

  63. K.... D....

    beacon theater....nyc....dec 1st....i'm there

  64. A.... N....

  65. R.... P....

    Love this. Hope to see you playing in Miami again.

  66. L.... ....

    nice song, very much reminds me of forever young by dylan

  67. L.... S....

    Can't wait for the new album. He's one of my favorite musicians, and this song is beautiful.

  68. P.... ....

    Siempre es grato escucharte con esa energía y la forma en que transmites tus sentimientos en todas tus canciones.

  69. s.... ....

    Jeez!!! Does anyone come up with their own music anymore? Listen to John Prine "All The Best." I assure you this guy has!

    s.... ....

    @sross66 It does sound inspired by Prine's "All the Best", but there's nothing wrong with that. There is no such thing as original music since jazz died.

    s.... ....

    @sharon are you joking??? Inspired by? You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. There's a difference between being inspired by a song/artist and blatantly ripping them off....... And your "statement" about jazz further proves my point of your idiocracy on several levels.

    s.... ....

    @sross66 its glen. we don't care :) :)

    s.... ....

    @sross66 LOL You must really hate Bob Dylan then! Chord progressions and melodies have been adopted and reapplied by songwriters for years.

  70. m.... ....

    direct, simple, essential, deep, touching, inspiring. a gift. thanks

  71. P.... J....

    Cracking song, can't wait for the new album. Gwych!

  72. F.... G....

    love button! The album is gonna be great:I can't wait to have it delivered! 
    THANK YOU Glen, again!
