Lyrics Marianne Faithfull

Marianne Faithfull

Past Present Future

The Past

Well now let me tell you about the past

Past is filled with silent joys and broken toys

Laughing girls and teasing boys

Was I ever in love?

I called it love

I mean.. it felt like love

There were moments when...

Well, there were moments when...

Present

Go out with you?

Why not?

Do I like to dance?

Of course

Take a walk along the beach tonight?

I'd love to

But don't try to touch me

Don't try to touch me

Cause that will never happen again

Shall we dance?

The Future

Tomorrow... well, tomorrow is a long way off

Maybe someday I'll hold somebody's hand

Maybe somewhere someone will understand

You know, I used to sing: "A tisket, a tasket, a green and yellow basket"

I'm all packed up and I'm on my way and I'm gonna fall in love

But at the moment it's doesn't look good

At the moment it will never happen again

I don't think it will ever happen again
