sliding through life on charm

Singer:marianne faithfull

the family tree was chainsawed wednesday week

so now i have to mingle with the meek

hey mister

you have finally met your match

now everybody wants to kiss my snatch

to go where god knows who has gone before

i am a muse

not a mistress

not a whore

oh

suburban shits who want some class

all queue up to kiss my ass

and i was only trying to please

i never got any royalties oh no

not me

i'm still sliding through life on charm

sliding through life on charm

if marianne was born a man she'd show you all

a way to piss your life against the wall

go ahead why don't you leave me to these thugs

and creeps who want to fuck a nun on drugs?

is it such a sin i never ever tried too hard?

i had to know how far was going too far

in proper homes throughout the land

fathers try to understand

why eunice who is seventeen aspires to live her life like me

oh no

can't ya see

daddy?

she's just captivated by my charm

sliding through life on charm

sliding

sliding

never

i wonder why the schools don't teach anything useful nowadays

like how to fall from grace and slide with elegance from a pedestal

i never asked to be on in the first place

sliding on charm

sliding on charm

sliding on charm

sliding on charm

sliding on charm

sliding on charm

sliding on charm
