Marianne Faithfull - As Tears Go By[Version 2] - lyrics

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 cant 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.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

Marianne Faithfull - Ashes In My Hand - lyrics

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 dont 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 - Blood In My Eyes - lyrics

Woke up this morning, feeling blue
Seen a good looking girl, can I make love with you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
I got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.
I went back home, put on my tie
Gonna get that girl that money will buy
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
I got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.
She looked at me, begin to smile
Said, "Hey, hey, man, can't you wait a little while?"
No, no babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
No, no babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.
No, no, ma'am, I can't wait
You got my money, now you're trying to break this date
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do.
I'll tell you something, tell you the facts
You don't want to give my money back
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you
I got blood in my eyes for you, baby
I don't care what in the world you do

Marianne Faithfull - *****leshells - lyrics

When *****leshells turn silver bells
Then will my love return to me
Then will my love return to me
Then will my love return to me
Love return to me
Love return to me
Love return
Love return
Love return to me.
In pastures green
I shall be seen
With my true love right by my side
With my true love right by my side
With my true love right by my side
Love right by my side
Love right by my side
Love right by
Love right by
Love right by my side.
When I return then you shall learn
That I shall be my true loves bride
That I shall be my true loves bride
That I shall be my true loves bride
Be my true loves bride
Be my true loves bride
Be my true loves
Be my true loves
Be my true loves bride.
When love gets old it grows cold
And then true love will fade away
And then true love will fade away
And then true love will fade away
True love fades away
True love fades away
True love fades
True love fades
True love fades away.

Marianne Faithfull - After The Ceasefire - lyrics

After the ceasefire that they swore would last
She had the bright idea to hell with the past!
Thats where love lay bleeding licking at its wounds
The times were never changing sticking to their guns
She thought she really meant it, thats 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 its time to call a truth
Its time to lead a quiet life for the love of jeeze
Lets 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
Thats 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 - Anger - lyrics

Family
Were at a stand-still! what shes been sending,
Its not any money a man can build a house with.
Shes as giddy as a cyclone!
All the profits go for her pleasure!
And were at a stand-still, for what shes been sending
Is not any money a man can build a house with.
Wont she settle down to business ?
Wont she ever learn to save something ?
For what the feather-brain is sending is not any kind of money
A man can build a little house with.
Anna i
Were making progress.
We have come to los angeles
And every door is open here to welcome extras.
We only need a bit of practice
Avoiding possible faux pas
And what can stop us going straight to the top then ?
Family
O lord, look down upon our daughter,
Show her the way that leads the good to thy reward.
Anna i
If you take offense at injustice,
Mister big will show hes offended;
If a curse or a blow can enrage you so
Your usefulness here is ended.
Then mind what the good book tells us
When it says: resist not evil.
Unforgiving anger is from the devil.
It took time to teach my sister that wrath would not do
In los angeles, the third big town we came to.
Where her open disapproval of injustice
Was so widely disapproved.
I forever told her: practice self-control, anna,
For you know how much it costs you if you dont.
And she understood and answered:
Anna ii
Yes, I know, anna.

Marianne Faithfull - Black Girl - lyrics

Black girl, black girl, dont you lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night ?
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And I shivered the whole night long.
Tell me where did you get that pretty little dress
And those shoes that you wear so fine ?
I got my dress from a railroad man
And my shoes from a driver deep in the mine.
Black girl, black girl, dont lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night ?
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And I shivered the whole night long.

Marianne Faithfull - Bored By Dreams - lyrics

Things are never what they seem
Play a part most of the time.
What is yours cannot be mine
And Im bored by dreams.
Bored by dreams.
I cant say the words I mean
Make myself go through the line.
Does the payment fit the crime
If Im bored by dreams ?
Take me through the steps my love,
Shall we dance again ?
I was older then,
Now we are the same.
Lasse des rves.
Rve qui brille dans le noir
Brillera bien, tu peux le croire.
Toujours dire la vrit
Quand je suis lasse des rves.
Take me through the steps, my love,
Shall we dance again ?
Things were always brighter then,
Hear me call your name.
After a certain age
Every artist
Works with injury.
After a certain age
Every artist
Works with injury.
Take me through the steps my love,
Shall we dance again ?
I was always older then,
Now we are the same.

Marianne Faithfull - Come & Stay With Me - lyrics

Ill send away all my false pride
And Ill forsake all of my life.
Yes, Ill be as true, as true can be
If youll come and stay with me.
Lovers of the past Ill leave behind,
Therell never be another on my mind.
Ill do all I can so youll feel free
If youll come and stay with me.
The promises I made most faithfully,
Ill keep still, should you decide to leave.
Ill try and see that you have all you need
If youll come and stay with me.
Well live a life no one has ever known,
But I know youre thinking that Im hardly grown.
But oh, thank god, at last and finally
I can see youre gonna stay with me.
But oh, thank god, at last and finally
I can see youre gonna stay with me.

Marianne Faithfull - Greensleeves - lyrics

Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
For I have loved you so long
Delighting in your company.
Greensleeves was all my joy,
Greensleeves was my delight.
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady greensleeves ?
Alas my love that you should own
A heart of wanton vanity
So I must laddie think alone
Upon your insincerity.
Greensleeves ...
