Marianne Faithfull - Sliding Through Life On Charm Lyrics






The family tree was chainsawed Wednesday week
So now I have to mingle with the meek
Hey mister, you have finally met your match
Now everybody wants to kiss my snatch

To go where God knows who has gone before
I am a muse, not a mistress, not a whore
Oh, suburban shits who want some class
All queue up to kiss my ass

And I was only trying to please
I never got any royalties oh no, not me
I'm still sliding through life on charm
Sliding through life on charm

If Marianne was born a man she'd show you all
A way to piss your life against the wall
Go ahead why don't you leave me to these thugs
And creeps who want to fuck a nun on drugs?

Is it such a sin I never ever tried too hard?
I had to know how far was going too far
In proper homes throughout the land, Fathers try to understand
Why Eunice who is seventeen aspires to live her life like me

Oh no, can't ya see, Daddy?
She's just captivated by my charm
Sliding through life on charm

Sliding
Sliding
Never

I wonder why the schools don't teach anything useful nowadays
Like how to fall from grace and slide with elegance from a pedestal
I never asked to be on in the first place

Sliding on charm, sliding on charm
Sliding on charm, sliding on charm
Sliding on charm, sliding on charm
Sliding on charm

    @crazedwitch2 Imagine meeting Marianne Faithful AND Amanda Lear out together in the same club - ibet that would be a fab night out. Have you got into any more Amanda Lear stuff? Do you like her too now? How about Patricia Kaas from France?? I think she is like a french version of Marianne. BTW Just seen that it was 2 years ago when you commented on this clip LOL - this must be a blast from the past. MF was on Radio 2 this morning on Graham Norton show. Check out BBC I-Player if you missed it
