Something Better — текст песни (Marianne Faithfull)

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.
