Marianne Faithfull - A Stranger On Earth/ An Introduction To Marianne Faithfull (2002) by Marianne Faithfull (보컬) on maniadb.com

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 ...

<P>Here I lie in my hospital bed,
Tell me, Sister Morphine,
when are you coming round again.
Oh, and I don't think I can wait that long
Oh, you see that my pain is so strong. </P><P>All the other patients say they've
never seen a man with such pain,
Tell me, Sister Morphine,
when are you coming round again ?
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long,
Oh, you see that I'm not that strong. </P><P>The scream of the ambulance
is sounding in my ear.
Tell me, Sister Morphine,
how long have I been lying here ?
What am I doing in this place ?
Why does the doctor have no face ?
Oh, I can't crawl across the floor.
Can't you see, Sister Morphine,
just trying to score. </P><P>Well, it just goes to show
things are not what they seem.
Please, Sister Morphine,
turn my nightmare into dreams.
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast
And that this shot will be the last. </P><P>Please, Cousin Cocaine,
lay your cool hands on my head.
Hey, Sister Morphine,
you'd better make up the lyin' bed
'Cause you know and
I know in the morning I'll be dead,
And you can sit around and watch
all the clean white sheets stain red.
</P>

If I listened long enough to you
Id find a way to believe that its all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried.
Still I look to find a reason to believe.

Someone like you makes it hard to live
Without somebody else.
Someone like you makes it easy to give,
Never thinking of myself.

If I gave you time to change my mind
Id find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried.
Still I look to find a reason to believe.

Someone like you makes it hard to live
Without somebody else.
Someone like you makes it easy to give,
Never thinking of myself.

If I gave you time to change my mind
Id find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried.
Still I look to find reason to believe.

I'll send away all my false pride
And I'll forsake all of my life
Yes I'll be as true as true can be
If you'll come and stay with me.

Lovers of the past I'll leave behind
There'll never be another on my mind
I'll do all I can so you'll feel free
If you come and stay with me

The promises I made most faithfully
I'll keep them still should you decide to leave
I'll try and see that you have all you need
If you'll come and stay with me

We'll live a life no one has ever known
But I know you're thinking that I'm hardly grown
I'll do all I can so you'll feel free
If you'll come and stay with me.

But oh thank God at last and finally
I could see you're gonna stay with me

Will you take me across the channel,
London bridge is falling down.
Strange a woman tries to save
What a man will try to drown.
And he's the rain that they predicted,
It's the forecast every time.
The rose has died because you picked it
An' I believe that brandy's mine.

And all over the world
Strangers
Talk only about the weather.
All over the world
It's the same
It's the same
It's the same.

The word is getting flatter,
The sky is falling all around.
And nothing is the matter
For I never cry in town.
And a love like ours, my dear,
Is best measured when it's down.
And I never buy umbrellas,
For there's always one around.



And all over the world
Strangers
Talk only about the weather.
All over the world
It's the same
It's the same
It's the same.

And you know that it's beginning,
And you know that it's the end
When once again we are strangers
And the fog comes rolling in.

And all over the world
Strangers
Talk only about the weather.
All over the world
It's the same
It's the same
It's the same.

Dr. john:
You ready ? 2, 3, 4, 1.

I feel guilt, I feel guilt,
Though I know I've done no wrong I feel guilt.
I feel guilt, I feel guilt,
Though I know I've done no wrong I feel guilt.

I feel bad, so bad,
Though I ain't done nothing wrong I feel bad.
I feel bad, so bad,
Though I ain't done nothing wrong I feel bad.

I never lied to my lover,
But if I did I would admit it.
If I could get away with murder
I'd take my gun and I'd commit it.
I never gave to the rich, I never stole from the poor,
I'm like a curious child, give me more,
More, more, more, more, more, more.

I feel blood, I feel blood,
Though I feel it in my veins, it's not enough.
I feel blood, I feel blood,
Though it's streaming through my veins it's not enough.

I never stole a scarf from Harrods,
But if I did you wouldn't miss it.
I never stole a doll from Lovecraft,
But if I did you know I'd kiss it.
I never stole from the rich, I never gave to the poor,
I'm like a curious child, just give me more,
More, more, more, more, more, more, more, more.

I feel guilt, I feel guilt,
Though I know I've done no wrong I feel guilt.
I feel guilt, I feel guilt,
Though I ain't done nothing wrong I feel guilt.

Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt
Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt ...

<P>"The morning sun touched lightly on
the eyes of Lucy Jordan
In a white suburban bedroom
in a white suburban town
&nbsp;
As she lay there ´neath the covers
dreaming of a thousand lovers
Till the world turned to orange
and the room went spinning round. </P><P>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 easy chair. </P><P>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. </P><P>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 easy chair. </P><P>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 </P><P>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. </P><P>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..."

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.

There's a little bird
Somebody sent down to Earth
To live along the wind
Blowing on the wind
And she sleeps on the wind
This little bird, somebody sent

Light and fragile
And feathered sky blue
Thin and graceful
The sun shining through
She flies so high up in the sky
Way out of reach of human eyes

Light and fragile
And feathered sky blue
Thin and graceful
The sun shining through
She flies so high up in the sky
Way out of reach of human eyes

Light and fragile
And feathered sky blue
Thin and graceful
The sun shining through
And the only time that she touches ground
Is when that little bird, little bird

Is when that little bird, little bird
Is when that little bird, little bird
Is when that little bird dies -

Monday, Monday
So good to me.
Monday morning
It was all I hoped it would be.

Oh Monday morning
Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening
You would still be here with me.

Monday, Monday
Can't trust the day.
Monday, Monday
Sometimes it just turns out that way.

On Monday morning
You gave me no warning
Of what was to be.
On Monday, Monday
How could you leave
And not take me ?

Every other day
Every other day
Every other day
Of the week is fine, yeah.

But whenever Monday comes
But whenever Monday comes
You can find me crying
All of the time.

Monday, Monday
So good to me.
Monday morning
It was all I hoped it would be.
Oh Monday morning,
Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening
You would still be here with me.

Every other day
Every other day
Every other day
Of the week is fine, yeah.

But whenever Monday comes
But whenever Monday comes
You can find me crying
All of the time.

Monday, Monday,
Can't trust the day.
Monday, Monday,
Don't go away.

Oh, Monday, Monday,
Don't go away.
Oh, Monday, Monday ...

Things are never what they seem
Play a part most of the time.
What is yours cannot be mine
And I'm bored by dreams.

Bored by dreams.

I can't say the words I mean
Make myself go through the line.
Does the payment fit the crime
If I'm 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 raves.

Rave qui brille dans le noir
Brillera bien, tu peux le croire.
Toujours dire la v

There is a house in New Orleans,
They call it the Risin' Sun
And it's been the ruin
Of many poor girl,
And me, oh God, I'm one.

There is a house in New Orleans,
They call it the Risin' Sun
And it's been the ruin
Of many poor girl,
And me, oh God, I'm one.

If I had listened
To what my mother said
I'd've been at home today.
But I was young and foolish, oh God,
Let a rambler lead me astray.

Go tell my baby sister
Don't do what I have done.
Go shun that house in New Orleans
They call the Risin' Sun.

Well, I'm going back to New Orleans,
My race is almost run.
I'm going back to spend my life
In the house of the Risin' Sun.

Sweetheart
I'm changing my role in life,
I'm not re-arranging the main things in my life.
I ain't sacrificing what I hold as true,
I ain't sacrificing, sweetheart even for you.

Sweetheart I'm changing my mode of life,
I'm not re-arranging the main things in my life.
I'm not giving up now in mixed company.
I'll be holding on now looking to find my identity.

My freedom means too much to give up now.
It doesn't matter to you anyhow.

Sweetheart.
Sweetheart.

My freedom means too much to give up now.
And did it matter so much anyhow.

Sweetheart
I'm changing my role in life,
I ain't re-arranging the main things in my life.
I ain't sacrificing what I hold as true,
I ain't sacrificing, sweetheart even for you.

My freedom means too much to give up now.
And did it matter so much anyhow.

Sweetheart.
Sweetheart.
Sweetheart.

Sunday is Gloomy,
My hours are slumberless,
Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless
Little white flowers will never awaken you

Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thought of ever returning you
Would they be angry if I thought of joining you
Gloomy Sunday

Gloomy Sunday
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be candles and prayers that are sad,
I know, let them not weep,
Let them know that I'm glad to go

Death is no dream,
For in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my soul I'll be blessing you
Gloomy Sunday

Dreaming
I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you
Asleep in the deep of
My heart
Dear

Darling I hope that my dream never haunted you
My heart is telling you how much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday
