Marianne faithfull something better lyrics

He walks along singing his fairy song



Picking up magic that grows at his feet.



She says the same her peculiar way



Dreaming good fortune on everyones street.







Say, hey, have you heard, blue whiskeys the rage,



Ill send you a jug in the morning.



It is absurd to live in a cage,



You know theres got to be something better.







As they go by, dont look with eagles eyes



Smile on your jailers until they grow weak.



Nothing can compare to something thats almost there



To tear up the madness that all of us seek.







Say, hey, have you heard, blue whiskeys the rage,



Ill send you a jug in the morning.



It is absurd to live in a cage,



You know theres got to be something better.
