Faithfull, Marianne - Envy Lyrics
[Anna I:]
And the last big town we came to was San Francisco
Life, there, was fine, only Anna felt so tired
And grew envious of others
Of those who pass the time at their ease and in comfort
Of those whose wrath is kindled by injustice
Those who act upon their impulses happily
Lovers true to their loved ones
And those who take what they need without shame
Whereupon I told my poor tired sister
When I saw how much she envied them
"Sister, from birth we may write our own story
And anything we choose we are permitted to do
But the proud and insolent who strut in their glory...
Little they guess the fate they're swaggering to
Sister, be strong! You must learn to say no to
The joys of this world, for this world is a snare
Only the fools of this world will let you go
Who don't care a damn, don't care a damn
Don't care a damn, will be made to care
Don't let the flesh and it's longings get you
Remember the price that a lover must pay
And say to yourself when temptations beset you...
What is the use? what is the use?
Beauty will perish and youth pass away
Sister, you know, when our life here is over
Those who were good to go to bliss unalloyed
Those who were bad are rejected forever
Gnashing their teeth, gnashing their teeth
Gnashing their teeth in a gibbering void"
[Family:]
Who fights the good fight and all self subdues
Wins the palm, gains the crown

Faithfull, Marianne Envy Comments
Kult 2020
iconic and as perfect as it always was about life not lived
AmericanHorrorStory !! Hotel !!
Ein Song über eine frustrierte Hausfrau, glänzend Performen.!
There once was a concept called time.
Often thought of in linear lines.
Though the hands of the clock spin around when they toc,
It only exists in our minds
timeless masterpiece, such a lovely vocal , its an epiphany we all have, that moment you wake to the fact that the moment you live in is momentary and those dreams or fantasies you may have held will never happen , you realise this is your lot , you are just an average person in an average life thats slowly slipping away from you !!!
totally agree
Thank´s for yours music. Timeless. Greeting´s fom germany.January 2020. Greeting´s from germany, EAST.
Greetings to you, from the west, all welcome, prost
Yes definitely timeless..love her
Greetings from USA
Happy New Year's
A beautiful and poignant song though!
A broken woman
1985 je n oublirais jamais

A true artist, beautiful story
yeah i am faithfull
Lovely....thank you Marianne xxxx
Anyone know who played the synths for this?
Sagenhafter Song. Hammer Süsse Marianne Faithfull.I Love it.Ever
Marrianne Faithful was an absolute doll
She is so beautiful but her voice is creepy, like in the Metallica song. Ra ra ra ra..
She once had the voice of an angel, I am that old, here you can hear the results of heavy smoking of cigarettes on her vocal chords. Her voice is even deeper these days but she's a game enough to carry on singing regardless, so good on her
i am surviver not suicider
i am faithfull
fuck,what a beautiful voice!!!
Boah...man bin ich erregt. 😘
Gorgeous lady. How well does she sing this?
First heard this song in the 90's on the Thelma and Louise Soundtrack. I'm Lucy Jordan's age and haven't been to Paris! But still have hope, lol
One of the great Shel Silversteins greatest songs.
She made better music on her back 😃😃
Is it just me, or does Marianne Faithfull at 2:48 look like Theresa May?
She is just WHOOOOOHWWWWWHHHH!!!! MY GOD SHE IS GOOD. LOVE THIS SONG BECAUSE YHEA HAVE STORIES BUT ONLY FOR ME,JET
lange her. Super
Jugend.... bitte komm zurück.... ich würde so viel anders machen - ich schwör !!!! mag zwar, so irgendwie traurig sein - ist aber so !!!
ΠΡΙΝςιΕς ΜΑΡιαΜΦΕΦυΙΙ
ΙΛLΥ
even now with the help of an 18 year old & jump leads
And to think she wasn't as hot, twisted and sick as much as Nico. Crazy chicks.
Jager was a lucky man!
I love this song so Match
I like her better wasted or high.
We all like you better rotting in the ground, ya stinking piece of shit.
@absoftitanium charming abs
@absoftitanium it's a style preference and if you don't then you must not like the remainder of her career which was rarely sober
Fucking hell, how awful.
Cette chanson me renvoi aux années 80. C'était l'hiver, l'odeur de l'encens. Pleins de choses dans ma tête. Des peurs, des doutes mais aussi des rêves pleins la tête !
I am a retired U.K Paramedic. Tragically I met many Lucy Jordans, not forgetting the Lenny Jordans too...Heartbreaking when you realise it's world wide.
I spent many years working in an operating Theatre , this was one of my favourites many years ago,61 now and enjoying life , all the best to everybody,enjoy life
I prefer her mature voice to her young overly sweet young voice.
The eara of the horrid skirts.. so enough is enough i cant take it with out etc Joystick......
And the summer of FANTASY fullfilment..
Pois é
Das ist music die unter die Haut geht
Spellbinding eyes, very nice performance of this Dr. Hook song.
If I recall correctly, Steve Winwood played the synths on this.
German girls, is this right? We've been set up by the ancient coalition since the middle ages they haven't been able to get rid of the human race so far but look at the present climate in the world and hitting us on so many fronts they deny themselves no pleasure. . . . . . Nna (netherton nature association) the hounds of love, seasons don't fear the reaper. One ring to rule them all one ring to find them one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. Good luck decency
@Johan Sterk Johan look at the lies in history poor houses and kids with rickets in victorian times we had our natural forest I can think of at least seven ways of catching meat etc in school we were told you need war to keep the population numbers down, also the black plauge killed half of Europe, personally couldn't give a flying shite for most people I'm into animal rights but I try to get these things out so good people might be able to defend themselves, so as you folk say cest la vie cum se cum sa ca sera
When I wake up , I know I’m gonna be, I’m gonna be the one who wakes up next to you.
I would walk 10000 miles &
I will walk 10,000 more
je sais pas si elle me fait du bien ou du mal, en tous cas elle me fait quelque chose ! pinaise !
one of my favorite tunes... always tearing up...
👌👌👌
who are the 2k chops who dont like this? SMH
Me.. becasue it DESTROYS the original!
Erinnert mich total an meine Kindheit. Hammer
At one time this was the sexiest woman in the world. I love her voice. This song was written by Shel Silverstein, cartoonist, author of children's books and composer of Dr. Hook's hit songs.
Merci pour ça
Thelma and Louise brought me here , good song
Lucy Jordan sounds like a Pisces suffering from severe depression.
Indémodable
Those eyes......wow!
This woman is just a upper class prostitut
Your ulcer woke up??
😍😥
Sounds like Lucy had the ultimate bad hair day.....
Process wench?
If you are watching Marian , any chance of having a coffe with. You
First time to see this video. I bought this album when it first came out. This was my first wifes favorite song. This was a very good album. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Marianne Faithful perform.
Love you girl xx
What would the snowflakes make of our marianne
Marianne Faithfull anfangs Groupie der Stones und jahrelanger Heroin user aber Sie hatte eine wahnsinns Stimme damals..........
Thème musical du film "COURS PRIVÉ" avec Elizabeth Bourgine...
We where child hood sweethearts
Would mick be jealous of he knows I kissed her
American Horror Story 5
Liz Taylor Anthem 😞♥️
Liz Taylor
I should be in bed. But damn, haven't heard this in a long time.
QUELLE MERVEILLE .
je suis d'accord avec toi Albert c'est superbe
Linda a música e a cantora.
verdammt gut das ich damals jung war und nicht heute
👌👌👌😍😍😍
........ich bete sie mit großer Bewunderung an !!!
Thelma and Louise
Still AGreat Song listen to it all time still best version
Synthesizer tunes by Steve Winwood?! Didn't know that...
Don’t really buy singes. Made an exception for this.
American Horror Story 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
From the film 'Montenegro' as well
Glad someone else knows Montenegro.💖
Correct me if i`m wrong...Lucy had a bad hair day......
Marriann is the only artist who could do this song, song was made for her
Shel wrote it for Dr. Hook; didn't he? On his houseboat?
@Michael Glover no idea, ( deer with no eyes,,)
the entire broken english album is magical
Einer von meinen lieblingstiteln einfach nur genial
@Simone Bastian the album came out in 79. i bought it on vinyl the first day it was available. can you imagine the smell in the backroom of an actual record store ? meanwhile the snow i snorted in the eighties has dried out to footnotes of glacial debris in the dictionary of climate disaster. i hardly remember what has happened yesterday. thank you for giving me proof of my vague existence.
