The sex & drugs & rock 'n roll life (and death) of London art dealer Robert Fraser who championed Andy Warhol's work in the UK in the 1960s and was the subject, along with Mick Jagger, of Richard Hamilton's painting Swingeing London. Warhol screened The Chelsea Girls at Fraser's London flat in 1967. With Jim Dine, Kenneth Anger, Anita Pallenberg, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones and Marianne Faithfull.

Simon Faithfulls Escape Vehicle no.6 started as a live event commissioned by The Arts Catalyst for its 2004 Artists Airshow. The live audience witnessed the launching of a weather balloon with a domestic chair dangling in space beneath it. Once the apparatus had disappeared into the sky, they then watched a live video relay from the weather balloon on a giant screen as it journeyed from the ground to the edge of space (30km up). Now presented as a non-live video work, the footage shows the chair first rush away from the fields and roads, ascend through clouds and finally (against the curvature of the earth and the blackness of space) begin to disintegrate. The chilling nature of the film is that the empty chair invites the audience to imagine taking a journey to an uninhabitable realm where it is impossible to breath, the temperature is minus 60 below and the sky now resembles the blackness of space.

Marianne Faithfull @ Letterman (March 31, 2009)
Faithfull So sad Strum me hard, strum me fast, Fears sure built into every wall. Looking hard through the glass, Fears sure built in with every waltz. Looking out at the rain Looking in through the storm. Treading the waves, Come in from harm. How could you regret your other words ... Hoping for thrills — free as a bird ... Strum me hard, strum me fast, Fears sure built into every wall. Looking hard through the glass, Fears sure built in with every waltz. There's a knock at the door, I get up — let you in. Travelled and stained, Soaked to the skin. Welcome my darling, you got here at last ... Come and sit by the fire — forget what's past. So sad, so sad, So sad, so sad. Strum me hard, strum me fast, Fears sure built into every wall. Looking hard through the glass, Fears sure built in with every waltz. Looking out at the rain Looking in through the storm. Looking back, looking forward, Flying up, flying down — What have you found ? So sad, so sad What have you found ? So sad, so sad What have you found ? So sad, so sad What have you found ? So sad, so sad.

Back from Dover to Calais. If you like seagulls or just like the music of Marianne Faithfull. Lyric: I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't hide the secret I have tried concealing When he left he promised me that he'd be back by the time it was revealing The sun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow o'er the fields of clover And time is running out for me I wish that he would hurry back from Dover He's been gone so long when he left the snow was deep upon the ground And I have seen a spring and summer pass and now the leaves are turning brown And any time a tiny face will show itself 'cause waiting's almost over But I won't have a name to give it if he doesn't hurry back from Dover My folks weren't understanding when they found out they sent me from the home place My daddy said if folks found out he'd be ashamed to ever show his face My mamma said I was a fool and she did not believe it when I told her That everything would be all right 'cause soon he would be coming down from Dover I loved him more than anything and I could not refuse him when he needed me He was the only one I'd loved and I just can't believe that he was using me He couldn't leave me here like this I know it can't be so it can't be over He wouldn't make me go through this so long, oh he'll be coming down from Dover My body aches the time is here it's lonely in the place where I'm lyin' Our baby has been born but something's wrong it's much too still I hear no cryin' I guess in some strange way ...
An enigmatic, haunting song - written by Marianne Faithfull in collaboration with Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. "Crazy Love" appears in Faithfull's studio album "Before the Poison", from 2004. Graphic Design by Tamir Spiegler ~ Lyrics: Marianne Faithfull Music: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Hated by all and everywhere he goes Blazing contempt for human life and lies, Murder as art and what he knows he knows From life and fear in other people's eyes Crazy love is all around me, Love is crazy love is kind But I know somehow you'll find me Love is crazy, love is blind She walks the boulevard without a care, Knowing too much but having come so far Pretending life is just a game you play for nothing, Loving no-one and nowhere Crazy love is all around me, Love goes crazy given time But I know somehow you'll find me Love is crazy, love is blind She looks as if expecting a surprise, Maybe an encounter that will change her life Not knowing hot from cold or good for bad, If life is just a joke or if it makes her sad Crazy love is all around me Love is crazy love is kind But I know somehow you'll find me Love is crazy, love is blind

Marianne Faithfull - Broken English 1979 Could have come through anytime, Cold lonely, puritan What are you fighting for ? It's not my security. It's just an old war, Not even a cold war, Don't say it in Russian, Don't say it in German. Say it in broken English, Say it in broken English. Lose your father, your husband, Your mother, your children. What are you dying for ? It's not my reality. It's just an old war, Not even a cold war, Don't say it in Russian, Don't say it in German. Say it in broken English, Say it in broken English. What are you fighting for ? What are you fighting for ? What are you fighting for ? What are you fighting for ? What are you fighting for ? What are you fighting for ? Could have come through anytime, Cold lonely, puritan. What are you fighting for ? It's not my security. It's just an old war, Not even a cold war, Don't say it in Russian, Don't say it in German. Say it in broken English, Say it in broken English. Say it in broken English, Say it in broken English. What are you fighting for ? What are you fighting

Song:Faithfull Artist:Pearl Jam CD:Yield LYRICS: Plaque on the wall says that no one's slept here It's rare to come upon a bridge that has not been around Or been stepped on Whatever the notions, we laced in our prayers The man upstairs is used to all of this noise I'm through with screaming And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes Like echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it (4X) And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes (2X) We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it (3X) So faithful, we all believe, we all believe it MYTH is Belief in the game controls that keeps us in a box of fear We never listen Voice inside so drowned out Drowned you are, you are, you are ev-er-ything And everything is you Me you, you me, it's all related What's a boy to do? Just be darling and I will be too Faithful to you

this little bird ♥ there's a little bird that somebody sends down to the earth to live on the wind. borne on the wind and he sleeps on the wind this little bird that somebody sends. he's light and fragile and feathered sky blue, so thin and graceful the sun shines through. this little bird who lives on the wind, this little bird that somebody sends. he flies so high up in the sky out of reach of human eye. and the only time that he touches the ground is when that little bird is when that little bird is when that little bird dies.
Marianne Faithfull - The Ballad of Lucy Jordan 1980 The morning sun touched lightly on the eyes of Lucy Jordan In a white suburban bedroom in a white suburban town As she lay there neath the covers dreaming of a thousand lovers Till the world turned to orange and the room went spinning round. At the age of thirty-seven she realised she'd never Ride through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair. So she let the phone keep ringing and she sat there softly singing Little nursery rhymes she'd memorised in her daddys easy chair. Her husband, he's off to work and the kids are off to school, And there are, oh, so many ways for her to spend the day. She could clean the house for hours or rearrange the flowers Or run naked through the shady street screaming all the way. At the age of thirty-seven she realised she'd never Ride through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair So she let the phone keep ringing as she sat there softly singing Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorised in her daddys easy chair. The evening sun touched gently on the eyes of Lucy Jordan On the roof top where she climbed when all the laughter grew too loud And she bowed and curtsied to the man who reached and offered her his hand, And he led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd. At the age of thirty-seven she knew she'd found forever As she rode along through Paris with the warm wind in her hair
Music: Bob Dylan, Interpret: Marianne Faithfull c)Concept (Video) by gewajega@yahoo.com Lyrics: You must leave now take what you need you think will last but whatever you wish to keep you better grab it fast. Yonder stands your orphan with his gun, crying like a fire in the sun. Look out the saints are coming thru and it's all over now, baby blue. The highway is for gamblers better use your sense, take what you have gathered from coincidence. The empty handed painter from your streets is drawing crazy pattern on your sheets. The sky, too, is folding under you, and it's all over now, baby blue. And all your seasick sailors they are rowing home, All your reindeer armies, are all going home, Your lover who just walked out the door, has taken all his blankets from the floor. The carpet, too, is moving under you, and its all over now, baby blue. Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you, forget the dead you've left they will not follow you, the vagabond who's rapping at your door is standing in the clothes that you once wore. Strike another match, go start anew, and it's all over now, baby blue.

1981 Dangerous Acquaintances album Strum me hard, strum me fast, Fears sure built into every wall. Looking hard through the glass, Fears sure built in with every waltz. Looking out at the rain Looking in through the storm. Treading the waves, Come in from harm. How could you regret your other words ... Hoping for thrills ó free as a bird ... Strum me hard, strum me fast, Fears sure built into every wall. Looking hard through the glass, Fears sure built in with every waltz. There's a knock at the door, I get up ó let you in. Travelled and stained, Soaked to the skin. Welcome my darling, you got here at last ... Come and sit by the fire ó forget what's past. So sad, so sad, So sad, so sad. Strum me hard, strum me fast, Fears sure built into every wall. Looking hard through the glass, Fears sure built in with every waltz. Looking out at the rain Looking in through the storm. Looking back, looking forward, Flying up, flying down ó What have you found ? So sad, so sad What have you found ? So sad, so sad What have you found ? So sad, so sad What have you found ? So sad, so sad

Marianne Faithfull 2005 Switzerland
A lot of people have covered Lennon's great song; but this is the best cover AFAIK, and far better than her studio version. From the sadly-departed NYC soundstage show "Sessions at West 54th", and first aired on late at night on American PBS stations (with naughty word and all) early in 2000. Video found via ed2k and probably off of her DVD "Dreaming my Dreams".
Excerpt of Faithfull from Single Video Theory. Recorded during the Yield studio sessions.
From the fantastic French movie La Fille Sur Le Pont (In English The Girl On The Bridge) This scene is from the rail yard in Italy. It examines their relationship in an off-stage performance which takes them to new heights as they both experience the erotic pleasure of danger and completeness to the haunting Marianne Faithfull song "Who Will take My Dreams Away?".
From classic album "Broken English"
The last scene of "Absolutely Fabulous. Last Shout. Part One" including a song peformed by Marianne Faithfull and Marcella Detroit. Filmed in 1996. The song is "The Animal's" "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place".
