PJ Harvey - Good Fortune Lyrics






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

    If there was one thing that I might present to the creator of all things in defense of the existence of life, it might be this

  12. G.... A....

    Such a great tune. Makes the hairss in the back of neck rise a bit, go back down, rise again and then go down.

  13. L.... S....

    Like some modern day Bonnie and Clyde, on the run again

  17. M.... ....

    Female attraction at it's best.

  18. n.... r....

    Great scene with PJ swinging her pocketbook. She is all business.

  19. N.... ....

    My god . I remember my first time seeing her live in finsbury park and just thinking WOWOWOWOW ! (1992????)then a couple years later John peel introduced her at Reading festive and said if any of his children grew up to as talented as PJ Harvey he would be a very happy.

  20. k.... ....

    Reminds me of xtc

    Never heard a female cover an XTC song.

    This is literally the only thing that makes me feel shy

  22. L.... D....

    Alors Momoche Partouche ton stage stage chez Fiente de Pigeon ? La Cinquecento ste bene?

  28. M.... H....

    The first time i saw Polly Jean live in New York... I fell in Love and still are... LOVE MARC FROM GERMANY ❤️ 🎸...

  29. S.... C....

    Sounds like a lovechild of Stevie Nicks and Chrissie Hynde. And I mean that as a compliment!

    S.... C....

    always reminds me of Patti Smith.

  30. n.... r....

    She can wear sunglasses at night and look cool doing it.

    n.... r....

    Unlike Cory Hart !

  31. n.... r....

    I would describe her as ageless.

  32. C.... C....

    “I paint 🎨 pictures
    to remember
    you’re too beautiful
    to put into words...” Mommy LOVES YOU Cerulean, you will be home soon with me👩‍👦✨♥️(I miss you soo much 😔🥺😢)

  33. V.... u....

    She may not be something beautiful, but she is the true gold and a true artist, and yet another proof that beauty is not so important, it is the spirit that is important. We love you p. j...
    Serbian people love you a lot.

  34. g.... ....

    This record it’s my favorite from Polly. ❤️

  35. s.... ....

    She looks here like she's channeling the Russian wife of a mafia boss in London. Even the accent. This woman is so talented and when not performing so shy...

  36. E.... V....

    She is just too talented and too beautiful! I absolutely love this song, she is always high energy in all her videos but in this one she really, really shines.

  37. b.... ....

    i had to look and see if this was a patti smith cover

    Fantastica

  45. H.... T....

  46. T.... ....

    Female Iggy Pop

  47. C.... S....

  48. w.... ....

    Rock n roll bird of paradise

  49. A.... C....

  50. M.... �....

  51. J.... B....

    👍👍👍👍👍👍

  52. N.... M....

    Patti Smith has got nothing on Pj Harvey 20 years has got fuck all to do with it. New york punk, Talking heads and Television were the only great bands to come out of all that

  53. A.... M....

    Love You So Much Polly. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  54. O.... W....

    stylish, with the right amount of attitude, classy and above all cool as you like

  55. O.... D....

    I was about 16 when this song was the VH1 countdown! I loved it! and Still, love it! To be honest she looks so chic that what she is wearing, her hair, makeup, and accessories can be worn today and no one would blink an eye

  56. E.... R....

    I love Polly Jean Harvey, can't eat my cereal :(

  57. E.... S....

  61. r.... M....

    Ala Sophia Loren...blessed with some of the hottest mofo pipes ANYWHERE! Q.E.D.

  62. A.... M....

    She reminds me of my mother, who in hindsight, I never got to know on a level that can only be achieved by being there when people were younger... She died on my birthday in 2014. She was only 55... She was a real free spirit Is suppose in the end

    A.... M....

    I'm so sorry that you lost your mother so young. A free spirit on this earth is a really beautiful thing because, well, life can be really hard! I hope you can find some comfort in that and know that if time had been more kind to you, I'm sure you would have come to understand each other very well. I wish you peace and comfort in that. Be proud of your mom for being so courageous in such a challenging world. If PG Harvey reminds you of your mom you should be really proud .

    A.... M....

    @Edie VanDusen Thanks man, at least the world she left behind is one where complete strangers can be supportive of each other when they fall on hard times through a medium like the internet (Youtube) and your comment is a great example... Peace Bro :-)
