marianne faithfull - 20th century blues
Why is it that civilized humanity
Can make the world so wrong ?
In this hurly-burly of insanity
Our dreams cannot last long.
We've reached a deadline,
A press headline,
Every sorrow.
Blues value
Is news value
Tomorrow.
Blues ?
Twentieth century blues
Are getting me down.
Blues ?
Escape those weary
Twentieth century blues.
Why,
If there's a God in the sky,
Why shouldn't He grin
High
Above this dreary
Twentieth century din ?
In this strange illusion,
Chaos and confusion,
People seem to lose their way.
What is there to strive for,
Love or keep alive for,
Say, 'Hey, hey!'
Call it a day ?
Blues ?
Nothing to win or to lose,
It's getting me down.
Blues ?
Escape those weary
Twentieth century blues.

A press headline,
Every sorrow.
Blues value

marianne faithfull - a stranger on earth
Some fools don't know what's right from wrong,
But somehow those folks belong.
Me, I try for all I'm worth,
But I still remain a stranger on this earth.
Some people gloom, other folk cry.
Me, I have to struggle to keep alive.
Ever since the day of my birth
I've been a stranger, stranger on this earth.
I try to be what all folks should,
Forgetting the bad and doing good.
But no matter how I try,
My troubles always multiply.
Now I've been doing the best I can
Ever since life began.
Some day when I prove my worth
I won't be a stranger on earth.
Now I've been living the best I can
Ever since my life began.
The day's gonna come when I prove my worth
And I won't be no stranger,
No, I won't be a stranger
On this earth.
marianne faithfull - so sad
Strum me hard, strum me fast,
Fears sure built into every wall.
Looking hard through the glass,
Fears sure built in with every waltz.
Looking out at the rain
Looking in through the storm.
Treading the waves,
Come in from harm.
How could you regret your other words ...
Hoping for thrills ? free as a bird ...
Strum me hard, strum me fast,
Fears sure built into every wall.
Looking hard through the glass,
Fears sure built in with every waltz.
There's a knock at the door,
I get up ? let you in.
Travelled and stained,
Soaked to the skin.
Welcome my darling, you got here at last ...
Come and sit by the fire ? forget what's past.
So sad, so sad,
So sad, so sad.
Strum me hard, strum me fast,
Fears sure built into every wall.
Looking hard through the glass,
Fears sure built in with every waltz.
Looking out at the rain
Looking in through the storm.
Looking back, looking forward,
Flying up, flying down ?
What have you found ?
So sad, so sad
What have you found ?
So sad, so sad
What have you found ?
So sad, so sad
What have you found ?
So sad, so sad.
marianne faithfull - after the ceasefire
After the ceasefire that they swore would last
She had the bright idea "To hell with the past!"
That's where love lay bleeding licking at its wounds
The times were never changing sticking to their guns
She thought she really meant it, that's the honest truth
She felt it in her marrow, she felt it in her boots
After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire.
The man she married, he was something else
He adored the chaos, smashing all the delft
The man she married, he was something else
He had the sudden notion it's time to call a truth
It's time to lead a quiet life for the love of Jeeze
Let's sit down together and engage in talks of peace
After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire.
He was Irish Catholic, she had English blood
They met in a good restaurant, they gave the secret knot
She ordered fish and lentils, he the kidney stew
She played with bold impulses, wine turned his lips blue
They left in separate taxis to the same address
In case someone was watching, and there they did confess
After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire.
It was all the others' fault, they thought at any rate
After the ceasefire to put an end to hate
She was reaching for her knife, he a fork and spoon,
They sat about devouring the poison of the moon
Shared a fatal cigarette neither one would light
Their breath was flame enough, nobody said goodnight
After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire.
After the ceasefire that they swore would last
They had the strange idea of living in the past
That's where love lies bleeding licking at its wounds
The times are never changing sticking to their guns
They sit about devouring the poison of the moon
The times were never singing the same tune
After the ceasefire
After the ceasefire
After the ceasefire
After the ceasefire

marianne faithfull - all i wanna do in life
You've been right and I've been wrong,
I've been weak and you've been strong.
You've been good and I've been bad,
Think I've had enough of that.

Is to love somebody with all my might.

It gets harder every day.

marianne faithfull - alone
From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were ? I have not seen
As others saw ? I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I lov'd, I lov'd alone.
Then ? in my childhood ? in the dawn
Of a most stormy life ? was drawn
From ev'ry depth of good and ill
To mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that 'round me roll'd
In its autumn tint of gold ?
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass'd me flying by ?
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.
marianne faithfull - annabel lee
It was many and many a year ago,
In a a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me;
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea:
But we loved with a love that was more than love ?
I and my ANNABEL LEE;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me;
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful ANNABEL LEE;
So that her high-born kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me ?
Yes! ? that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my ANNABEL LEE;
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we ?
Of many far wiser than we ?
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE,
For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling ? my darling ? my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea
marianne faithfull - as tears go by
It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me,
I sit and watch as tears go by.
My riches can't buy everything,
I want to hear the children sing.
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground,
I sit and watch as tears go by.
It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Doing things I used to do
They think are new,
I sit and watch as tears go by.
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm ...

marianne faithfull - ashes in my hand
It took a long time coming
That big over the shoulder statement
But when it came ? it flowed easy as poison
Taken in extreme despair
Taken in extreme despair
Taken in extreme despair
Taken in extreme despair.
Remember to write often
In case you have something to tell me,
But please don't mention the unexpected guest
Staring into empty eyes
Staring into empty eyes
Staring into empty eyes
Staring into empty eyes.
A long lost confidence and pride
Come ringing back, come ringing back
To have the shadow back again
And happiness that feels like pain.
Then you left us
To see if you could find it
And when you came back ? it flowed easy as poison
It flowed easy as poison
Taken in extreme despair
Taken in extreme despair
Taken in extreme despair
Taken in extreme despair.
A long lost confidence and pride
Come ringing back, come ringing back
To have the shadow back again
And happiness that feels like pain
And happiness that feels like pain
And happiness that feels like pain.
Happiness that feels like pain.
Happiness that feels like pain.
marianne faithfull - ballad of lucy jordan
The morning sun touched lightly on the eyes of Lucy Jordan
In a white suburban bedroom in a white suburban town
As she lay there 'neath the covers dreaming of a thousand lovers
Till the world turned to orange and the room went spinning round.
At the age of thirty-seven she realised she'd never
Ride through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair.
So she let the phone keep ringing and she sat there softly singing
Little nursery rhymes she'd memorised in her daddy's knees and chair.
Her husband, he's off to work and the kids are off to school,
And there are, oh, so many ways for her to spend the day.
She could clean the house for hours or rearrange the flowers
Or run naked through the shady street screaming all the way.
At the age of thirty-seven she realised she'd never
Ride through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair
So she let the phone keep ringing as she sat there softly singing
Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorised in her daddy's knees and chair.
The evening sun touched gently on the eyes of Lucy Jordan
On the roof top where she climbed when all the laughter grew too loud
And she bowed and curtsied to the man who reached and offered her his hand,
And he led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd.
At the age of thirty-seven she knew she'd found forever
As she rode along through Paris with the warm wind in her hair ...

marianne faithfull - bells of freedom
Way across the deep blue ocean
Way above the mountain so high
People sing and loitering's freely
Songs of joy reach up to the sky.
In this time of worry and confusion
In this world of trouble and pain
We're so many and the road is so weary,
How many people can tell you my name ?
Bells of freedom ring
Bells of freedom ring.
Come friends and people from every corner,
People, come from everywhere.
Let the bells of freedom ring loudly,
Ring for those who know and care.
Bells of freedom ring
Bells of freedom ring.
Way across the deep blue ocean
Way above the mountain so high
People sing and loitering's freely
Songs of joy reach up to the sky.
Bells of freedom ring
Bells of freedom ring for us.
marianne faithfull - beware of darkness
Watch out now, take care,
Beware of falling swingers
Dropping all around you
The pain that often mingles
In your fingertips.
Beware of darkness.
Watch out now, take care,
Beware the thoughts that linger
Winding up inside your head
The hopelessness around you
In the dead of night.
Beware of sadness.
It can hit you
It can hurt you
Make you sore
And what is more,
That is not what
You are here for.
Watch out now, take care,
Beware of soft shoe shufflers
Dancing down the sidewalks
As each unconscious sufferer
Wanders aimlessly,
Beware of Maya.
Watch out now, take care,
Beware of greedy leaders.
They'll take you where you should not go,
While weeping Atlas cedars,
They just want to grow, grow and grow.
Beware of darkness.
