Marianne Faithfull Super Giant 45 Limited Edition Lyrics
1.Sister Morphine(12'Version)

Here I lie in my hospital bed,
Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again.
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long
Oh, you see I'm not that strong.

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 my pain is so strong.

The siren 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, I'm just trying to score.

Well, it just goes to show things are not what they seem.
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmare into dream.
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast
And that this shot will be my last.

Sweet Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool hands over my head.
Hey, Sister Morphine, you'd better make the lyin' bed
'Cause you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead,
And you can sit around and you can watch the clean white sheet
stain red.


2.Broken English(Long Version)

Could have come through anytime,
Cold lonely, puritan
What are you fighting for ?
It's not my security.

It's just an old war,
Not even a cold war,
Don't say it in Russian,
Don't say it in German.
Say it in broken English,
Say it in broken English.

Lose your father, your husband,
Your mother, your children.
What are you dying for ?
It's not my reality.

It's just an old war,
Not even a cold war,
Don't say it in Russian,
Don't say it in German.
Say it in broken English,
Say it in broken English.

What are you fighting for ?
What are you fighting for ?
What are you fighting for ?
What are you fighting for ?

What are you fighting for ?
What are you fighting for ?

Could have come through anytime,
Cold lonely, puritan.
What are you fighting for ?
It's not my security.

It's just an old war,
Not even a cold war,
Don't say it in Russian,
Don't say it in German.
Say it in broken English,
Say it in broken English.

Say it in broken English,
Say it in broken English.

What are you fighting for ?
What are you fighting for ?
What are you fighting for ?
What are you fighting ...


3.The Letter

One grows weary of everything, my angel.
It is the law of nature, it is not my fault.

If for example I had as much love as you have virtue,
and that is surely saying a lot,
is it not astonishing that we should end at
the same time as the other ?
It is not my fault.

From this,
it follows that for some time I have been deceiving you.
But then, your pitiless affection forced me as it were
to do so.
It is not my fault.

Today, a woman I love madly insists that I sacrifice you
to her.
It is not my fault.

I realise that this is a fine opportunity for crying out
on perjury, but if nature's only given men assurance,
or if she gave women obstinacy, it is not my fault.

Take my advice: choose another lover,
as I have chosen another mistress.
This is good advice.
Very good.
If you think it bad, it is not my fault.

Farewell, my angel, I took you with pleasure,
I abandon you without regret.
Perhaps I will come back, to you.
So goes the world, it is not my fault.
