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
[…]
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
