Beck, Bogert & Appice - Superstition (Live)

Beck, Bogert & Appice - Superstition (Live) 1974

"Superstition" isn't a cover according to Beck: Stevie Wonder wrote it specifically for Beck to do. The story develops further that Stevie recorded it and released it at nearly same time which angered Beck as the composition was considered barter for some session work Beck did for Stevie.

Very superstitious, writing's on the wall
Very superstitious, ladder's 'bout to fall
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good thing's in your past

When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song

Very superstitious, nothin' more to say
Very superstitious, the Devil's on his way
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good thing's in your past
