PJ HARVEY LYRICS - Good Fortune

"Good Fortune"



Threw my bad fortune

Off the top of

A tall building

But I'd rather have done it with you



Your boy's smile

Five in the morning

Looked into your eyes

And I was really in love



In Chinatown

Hungover

You showed me

Just what I could do



Talking about

Time travel

And the meaning

And just what it was worth



And I feel like some bird of paradise

My bad fortune slipping away

And I feel the innocence of a child

Everybody's got something good to say



Things I once thought

Unbelievable

In my life

Have all taken place



When we walked through

Little Italy

I saw my reflection

Come right off your face



I paint pictures

To remember

You're too beautiful

To put into words



Like a gypsy

You dance in circles

All around me

And all over the world



And I feel like....



So I take my

Good fortune

And I fantasize

Of our leaving

Like some modern-day

Gypsy landslide



Like some modern-day

Bonnie and Clyde

On the run again
