Marianne Faithfull - Lust

ANNA I

Then we met a wealthy man in Boston
And he paid her a lot because he loved her,
But I had to keep a watch on Anna
Who was too loving, but she loved another,
And she paid him a lot because she loved him.

So I said: "Cheat the man who protects you
And you've lost half your value then:
He may pay once although he suspects you,
But he won't pay time and time again.
Girls can have their fun with money
When they've no provider they must face; But for girls like us, it's not funny
If we ever even once forget our place."

"Don't try to sit between two stools,"
I told her, then I went to see her young friend,
And said: "If you're kind, you won't hold her,
For this love will be your sweetheart's bitter end."
Girls can have their fun with money
When their money is their own to give,
But for girls like us, it's not funny
If we even once forget the way we live.

So I sent him a lone one-way ticket
