Shameless Theme Song Lyrics

Are you looking for music from shameless? Below, you can find the lyrics for the luck you got (by the high-strung), which is used as the intro song for the American version of the TV show shameless (2010).

This is primarily for the new US television series on Showtime and partially for the British series—for which the American series is based upon. The Luck You Got is the theme song for the American version of Shameless. I quite like this TV show, and I would recommend you all watch it.

Anyway, William H. Macy and Emmy Rossum, nice.

What luck you got having found this webpage on shameless theme song lyrics.

The opening theme song for Shameless is entitled “The Luck You Got”. It is by the Detroit, Michigan-based band The High Strung. The High Strung has been around (I guess) since the 90s, but what struck me is their discography—they released 12 albums from 2000 to 2010. Talk about hard-working.

“The Luck You Got” is originally from their 2006-release Moxie Bravo. It is a shameless TV show song, but if you are a big fan, you must already know.

Below is the full version of “The Luck You Got”.

The High Stung – The Luck You Got

The High Strung’s “The Luck You Got” is a brilliant gem from their second album, “Moxie Bravo”. You’ll soon recognize this track as the theme song to Showtime’s original series “Shameless”, starring William H. Macy. Debuting Jan 9th, 2011.

Then enjoy a live version of the shameless soundtrack.

Shameless Lyrics

Below are the complete lyrics to the Shameless TV show song.

Think of all the luck you got

Know that it’s not for naught

You were beaming once before

But it’s not like that anymore

Count all the moods you’ve known

Know they’re not stuck in stone

You were patient once before

But it’s not like that anymore

What is this down side

That you speak of

What is this feeling

You’re so sure of

Round up the friends you got

Know that they’re not for naught

You were willing once before

But it’s not like that anymore

The time that you would never trade

Is equal to the effort made

You were simple once before

But it’s not like that anymore

What is this down side

That you speak of

What is this feeling

You’re so sure of

What is this down side

That you speak of

What is this feeling

You’re so sure of.

Of course, we won’t leave the Easterners behind. Shameless (the original, British, Channel 4) has a narration-style opening, so the theme song is not definitive. It’s simply background music and was composed by Englishman Murray Gold.

Below is an opening that is taken from a series (yes, that’s the Brit way) two. (The show is currently on series 8.) — Main title sequence is from Showtime’s original series, Shameless.

Season 1 Trailer

William H. Macy stars in this racy and edgy adaptation of the long-running British family drama as Frank Gallagher, the alcoholic patriarch of a large, unconventional, blue-collar family. In the US version, the sprawling Gallagher family was transplanted to working-class Chicago during the challenging times of today’s recession.

Making ends meet is always tricky, especially with an AWOL mother and a father who usually gets passed out on the living room floor. Emmy Rossum stars as oldest daughter Fiona, who is left with the often impossible task of keeping her five younger brothers and sisters on track.

Emma Kenney takes you on a tour around the set of Shameless.

Do you prefer a Shameless US TV show or a British Shameless? Tell us in the comments. So, now you know the answer, “who sings the shameless theme song”. Moreover, what do you think the best episode of Shameless is?

I would post the opening narration (like I usually do), but I have the most challenging time understanding the thick accent.

The high-strung the luck you got or this downside you speak of – it is all about this song. Enjoy!
