Marianne faithfull - Sister morphine
Here I lie in my hospital bed
Tell me, sister morphine, when are you coming round again?
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long
Oh, you see that my pain is so strong
All the other patients say they've never seen a man with such pain,
Tell me, sister morphine, when are you coming round again?
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long,
Oh, you see that I'm not that strong
The scream of the ambulance is soundin' in my ear
Tell me, sister morphine, how long have I been lying here?
What am I doing in this place?
Why does the doctor have no face?
Oh, I can't crawl across the frosty floor
Can't you see, sister morphine, just trying to score
Well, it just goes to show, things are not what they seem
Please, sister morphine, turn my nightmare into dreams
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast
And that this shot will be the last
Please, cousin cocaine, lay your cool hands on my head
Hey, sister morphine, you'd better make up the lyin' bed
'Cause you know and I know, in the morning I'll be dead,
And you can sit around and watch, the clean white sheets stain red
마리안느 페이스플의 앨범 Blazing Away 중에서.
생소한 노래는 아니다. 롤링스톤즈의 리더 믹재거가 불렀던 곡인데 한때
그의 연인 이었던 그녀가 다시 불렀다.
노래 진행은 믹재거와 전혀다르지 않지만 변화가 많다.노래 곳곳에 작은 소리가
믹재거와의 차별화한 느낌이다.노래 러닝타임도 6분이 넘는다.
