Denise Levertov, “Pleasures”. (I like to find/  what’s not found / at once, but lies …)


Hard luck and trouble
Been my only friend
I’ve been on my own
Ever since I was ten

[…]

You know wine and women
Is all I crave
A big legged woman
Gonna carry me to my grave

[…]

[Chorus]Born under a bad sign
I’ve been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn’t for bad luck
I tell ya, I wouldn’t have no luck at all[Outro]Yeah, I’m a bad luck boy
Been havin’ bad luck all of my days, yes
