Men At Work - Hard Luck Story

[Sinfulgaiden]

has a genesis feel

[CliftonPhotographer]

This song remind me of people I know.

All they do is attack religion,those that do good,and criticize even heroes on the news!

But what do they do for the world? Smoke pot and complain about everyone helping!

People do more to help your neighbors and strangers,make this world better!

I've been fortunate enough for others to help me,and the little that I can do to pay it forward I do!

Oh and the best part of this video is at 2:23. Great little head shake there!

Within reach lies all desire

For each and every soul

Stripped bare and stretched higher

You fall into the last black hole

To end your hard, hard luck story...

[JBodine67]

[UnionMetalhead]

[electric7508]

Is Greg Ham in this video?

[colinhaycombr]

sometimes... :)

[mrroboto695]

yea if u puase at 2:08 hes playing trumpet

[chadergeist]

@electric7508 Really....where is Ron? He is on the inside of the lp's gatefold jacket. It is suppose to be the 3 of them on this album.

[electric7508]

@chadergeist Ron left the group while Two Hearts was in production.

[chadergeist]

@electric7508 I know i founded this out on Wiki, i think? What a shame. I miss these guys. I wish all this crap never happened and we would love to see them back again. :(

[maggierda]

not one of my favs but Colin sure is working the black leather jacket. I was fortunate enough to meet him in '96. He's even more dynamic in person!

[jimbailey69]

Colin is a very nice guy. I met him this past Saturday (he played a show in my town). Very gracious and really seems to appreciates his fanbase.

[bostonpiano]

...looks like Jeff Porcaro on drums (??) Wouldn't have thought he'd do that gig

[gmanca]

Thanks for this! One of the better songs that should have been a hit!

[dulcetrivalista]

hey man..... tahnk you very much...... this song is amazing YEAHHHHH MEN ATT WORK ROCKS!!!!

[emmnwhis]

Back when MTV actually played videos.

[timoshea]

thank you so much for uploading this video. i've been looking for it for about 20 years and have never seen it until now.

[tmarsh82]

Interesting song. It's the perspective of a man whose seen the ways of the world -- and doesn't like what he sees. Mistrust, intolerance, lack of faith in anything and hatred cause so much grief and misery.

Like Xtreme, not sure what the kids playing around have to do with it, but they're fun to watch

[guitarbo420]

The kids have a Hard Luck Story, Get it now?

[XtremeWeirdo]

I've never understood the part with the kids playing.  :\

[azzorroww]

@XtremeWeirdo perhaps the kids playing is a touch of irony the kids represent freedom and innocence replaced later with cynial experience respecting the songs tone and lyrics in that respect there is a obvious ring of truth i often wonder how we lost being a child as we get older and parents {i'm not one} but i think they relive their child hood through thyre kids and later kids, so maybe we never really do lose that early stage of life
