Marianne Faithfull - A Stranger On Earth Lyrics
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 no stranger
On this earth

Marianne Faithfull A Stranger On Earth Comments
This is the one that I know, but I looked up Dinah's version, and I think that this version brings out the despair and haunting quality of the song. It's the saddest song you could ever hear. It fits so beautifully into one of my favorite albums.
Meu Deus, como é maravilhosa essa mulher... Love you, Marianne...
she's a saint !
An utterly beautiful, deeply sad song, a cover by Marianne Faithfull of a song originally done by Dinah Washington. It made me cry tonight, as it shuffled up in my music library. It's been a favorite of mine for a couple of decades.
I hate Chuck Norris now
marianne, u are awesome, i adore you, ething youve been thru is everthing you are and u rock.. dont forget that .. ever . beauty is skin deep but youre beauty is so much more than that. 1 woman to another that has been there and done that. you have shown strength when there was none , grace , and realism at its best.you ARE a hero.
While I prefer Dinah's incomparable version..it's ironic that Marianne chose this song..it reflects her troubled life..haunted and tormented..
