Remembering British Singer Marianne Faithfull

I don't know. It's a very weird thing about Sister Morphine because it was knocking about the house for six months and Mick was playing it all the time. Playing the melody. Yes. The basic thing. That thing. All the time. So it went into my sort of whole nervous system, blood, bones, everything. I really had it in my head. I knew it by heart. Let's say that. And then I remember it.

I'm sure Mick does too. It was very peculiar. I just sat down, picked up a a legal pad and a pencil and wrote it out. And there it was. But I do that sometimes. I work on it in my head. And then when it's all ready, I do it.

Well, there were many. The lyrics were very ahead of their time. It's one thing for Lou Reed to sing Heroin, obviously. It was completely... This is something I really didn't understand, that this thing about me being this beautiful little angel was real. I never really believed that. I couldn't believe it.

So I suppose for Decca, you know, the last thing they put out by Marianne Faithfull, I can't remember what it was, was Summer Nights, say. I think it was. That was in 1965. And then in 1969, they're given sister morphine. And they couldn't handle it.

Well, I hadn't wanted celebrity in the first place. I just went to a party and got discovered. And I hadn't had time to think about whether I wanted it or not. So the anonymity I got in the street was very valuable to me. Where were you living? How did you live during those years? Well, I lived on a wall. I lived on a wall in Soho. And it was an amazing time for me.
