Good Fortune Lyrics
Off the top of
A tall building
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
Hung over
You showed me
Just what I could do
Talking about
Time travel
And the meaning
Just what it was worth
Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And I feel the
Innocence of a child
Everybody's got something good to say
Unbelievable
In my life
Have all taken place
When we walked through
Little Italy
I saw my reflection
Come right of your face
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
Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And I feel the
Innocence of a child
Everybody's got something good to say
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
This reminds me of falling in love when you only want to be with that person and run away. It changes your whole outlook on life. And "Things I once though unbelievable in my life have all taken place" reminds me of how I felt about love in my life and also many things that love has now opened me up to.
shows how dramaticly your life can changed when you meet someone you really click with
yeah, if you're in love your love that song. It expresses the feeling so good. You feel just in luck and happy. Wonderful song.
It's like when you're in love with someone you can totally relate to and your self-motivation kicks in again because you have something to look forward to.
I can't tell you how much this song relates to me and my boyfriend. Just that line 'You boys smile, 5 in the morning, looked into your eyes and I was really in love' is just so true of us. God I sound all sickly but hey!
well isn't patty smith a bit more crazy sounding?
Given the dirth of respectable female role models in alternative music, it's no surprise that PJ is influenced by Patti. They're part of the same chain, as it were.
this is just such a happy song...not in the sense that it's the most cheerful song around, but it's just impossible not to feel a bit uplifted when you listen to it. it's so optimistic
It might seem like a happy song, but the hint that she had rather thrown someone off the top of a tall building than her good fortune sheds a different light on this supposed happiness.

such a positive song. Each time I listen to it in the office reminds me the nasty mornings of Istanbul, AAthens or Vilnius with my boy. Esp. his "boy's smile 5 in the morning"... yeah, I know he's too beatiful.. Why do we have to be far from each other... Me in Amman in a crap office, he's in Oslo, I know wanna be on the run again, I've gotta threw my bad fortune of the top of a tall building. yeah I'll do that soon.
Regardless of what others say about the vocal acrobatics this song is full of, this song is totally awesome. Sounds like a song to other colleague musicians or someone when once felt affected by since she sings about the accomplishments of her life -"like a gypsy you dance in circles all around me and all over the world" and talking about running away with a gypsy a la modern Bonny and Clyde right at the end of the song makes it sound like she'd want to elope with one of these gypsies.
I love, love, love this song...No doubt I've had it in my ipod for ever! lol
