about

Gambling is a perilous addiction, you can be up one minute and down the next. But we all take a chance sometimes and Lady Luck looks more favorably on some than others.

lyrics

One More Roll of the Dice
Vs1
Folk say the gambling man is a lucky man by trade
The end of his career arrives when his luck begins to fade
Once he was an important man, guided by the hand of god
Rivals marvelled at his good fortune and the golden road he trod

Vs2
But every coin has two sides, what goes up must come down
And happy endings were not made for those who test the ground
Each triumphant flourish of cards brings women to his side
At first sign of a wilting hand they all turn and hide

Ch
Smiled upon from above, my written fate is a work of love
Sure as every breath I breathe I know the sun shines just for me
I know to gamble is a sin, but thats just the trade I’m in
Coins, favours or my life, a ding-dong with another man’s wife
Come the end I’ll pay the price, after all it’s a vice
Just give me one more roll of the dice

Vs3
The cards have turned their back on him, and the dice have turned cold
It would no longer seem that fortune favours the bold
The doors one by one all close and the options become few
But thats the price that you pay when you pick the life you choose

Rpt Ch

Br
Who are you to judge me for simply doing as I please,
Isn’t it true you take a chance when you decide to have a dance
With a fellow who looks smug, but how do you know he can cut the rug?

5/4 section

Rpt Ch

Vs4
Conviction is the mark of men when the game gets rough
You can do again what was once done and call the devil’s bluff
He stands again on his own two feet and wipes the dirt from his eyes
He reaches out for Lady Luck – he leaps and trusts to fly

Keep them dancing.
That’s the ethos that The Rin Tins have kept since their inception in early 2011 and since then the sextet have strutted from one stage to another playing high octane gypsy swing to the party hard masses.
With music that combines 5 part harmonies with swing jazz rhythms and pounding oompa beats, for 7 years they've been filling dance floors & festival tents across the UK. ... more
