Marianne Faithfull - "I get along without you very well"

so beautiful, and I don't think I ever heard this before

Marianne Faithfull - "Going Home"


I know the lyrics, but I don't know them. I recognise them, from where?

was this the song I knew? Or another version?

Strange Weather

First heard David Byrne & Anna Calvi's version on KCRW, found out it is a cover of Keren Ann. And not of Marianne Faithfull's "Strange Weather", which is beautiful too...

Marianne Faithfull - "Summer Nights"

Nice old song, to be played on a warm dusky evening, reminiscing.

Marianne Faithfull - "Counting"

Immmensily beautiful, not at all like the raw sound she's famous for.

Counting time you have stood at the foot of my ivory tower
And waited and called out my name by the hour and counted
On the wings of my heart strings to carry the sound
I have counted on pleading, you see how I need you, come down

And now between twililght and midnight I come to you
Down in my gown of soft moonbeams and starlight
Bright is the evening, the breezes have fenced us

Marianne Faithfull - "So Sad"

I'll probably log this song every time I (or Pandora) play it.

It's worth it.

Marianne Faithfull - "Vagabond Ways"

Oh, doctor please, oh, doctor please.
I drink and I take drugs, I love sex and I move around a lot,
I had my first baby at fourteen,
And yes, I guess I do have vagabond ways.
Yes, I guess I do have vagabond ways.

Oh, doctor please, oh, doctor please,
I think you've made a mistake, I'm fine and I don't need people,
You don't understand all my choices,
But yes, I guess I do have vagabond ways,
Yes, I guess I do have vagabond ways.

Please, don't lock me up,
Please, let me stay free.
If you let me go I promise I'll never come back,
I'll take a ship across the sea.
I'm young and poor, and yes I'm afraid,
But I'll stay myself and keep my vagabond ways.

It was a long time ago, they took her child away and she was sterelized.
She died of the drink and the drugs
And yes, I guess she kept those vagabond ways,
Yes, I guess she kept those vagabond ways,
Yes, I guess she kept those vagabond ways.

Marianne Faithfull - "Sad Lisa"

Sad and melancholy in the way only Marianne Faithful can.
