Marianne Faithfull - Pride Lyrics

Font:

  • Anna i
  • So we saved up, bought ourselves an outfit,
  • Nighties, nylons, beautiful dresses.
  • Soon we found a job that was going,
  • A job as dancer in a cabaret,
  • A job in memphis, the second big town we came to.
  • Oh how hard it was for anna!
  • Beautiful clothes can make a good girl particular
  • When the drinking tigress meets herself in the pool,
  • Shes apt to become a menace.
  • She began talking about art (of all things),
  • About the art (if you please) of cabaret.
  • In memphis, the second big town we came to,
  • It wasnt art that sort of people came for.
  • That sort of people came for something else;
  • And when a man has paid for his evening
  • He expects a good show in return.
  • So if you cover up your bosom and thighs like you had a rash,
  • Dont be surprised to see them yawning.
  • So I told my art-loving sister anna:
  • Leave your pride to those who can well afford it.
  • Do what you are asked to do and not what you want,
  • For that isnt what is wanted.
  • Oh but I had trouble, I can tell you,
  • With her fancy pig-head notions.
  • Night by night I sat by her bedside,
  • Holding her hand and saying this:
  • Think of our little house in louisiana!
  • Family
  • O lord, look down upon our daughter,
  • Show her the way that leads the good to thy reward.
  • Who fights the good fight and all self subdues,
  • Wins the palm, gains the crown.
