Well I always liked the "It's the end of the thirties/there's no time for arties."I think it says a lot more .The end of thirties that means the beginning of World War ll and he talks about that artist over in Poland ,we all know Poland has suffered a lot during WWll and there was no time for arties .And with the Get Lucky lyric I like the way it sounds even though I don't know what Truffling means(not a native English speaker)but i like it.
OK, first of all he doesn't sing about an artist over in Poland, the artist character singing the song is just saying that it's not a good time to become an artist because war is breaking out over in Poland.
Truffling is looking for truffles, they are buried undergound so you get a do or a pig to sniff them out. So if you have a truffle dog, you can go truffling!
Still a terrible lyric though!
