Lyrics Marianne Faithfull

Marianne Faithfull

Song For Nico

Born in 1938

A good year for the Reich.

She could not participate

She didn't have the right.

For she was fatherless in the Fatherland.

Now it's 1966

Andrew's up to all his tricks.

And when Brian Jones is near

Nico doesn't feel so queer;

She's in the shit, though she's innocent -

Yesterday is gone,

There's just today - No tomorrow.

Yesterday is gone,

There's just today - No more...

Now it's Andy Warhol's time

Mystic 60's on a dime.

Though she kinda likes Lou Reed -

She doesn't really have the need.

Already in the shit, though she's innocent.

And now she doesn't know

What it is she wants

And where she wants to go

And will Delon be still a cunt.

Yes, she's in the shit, though she is innocent.

Yesterday is gone

There's just today

No tomorrow.

Yesterday is gone

There's just today

No more.

Yesterday is gone

There's just today

No tomorrow.

Yesterday is gone

There's just today

No more.

Da da da da da

Da da da da da.

Da da da da da

Da da da da da

Da da.
