Conversation On A Barstool - Marianne Faithfull

I’m tired, so tired I can hardly stand,

I can’t breathe in the air in this city tonight.

It’s taken everything I had to give

And now I just want to get out of here.

But I won’t be sorry if you won’t be And I don’t want your pity or your sympathy.

But for forty-five dollars I can make it,

You wait and see.

He came from Miami to start out again.

To leave him was easy, I did it all the time.

He said that he loved me and he wanted a child,

If he opened his mouth, he was telling you lies.

But I won’t be sorry if you won’t be And I don’t want your pity or your sympathy.

But for thirty-five dollars I can make it,

You wait and see.

I was an actress, a girl in the Chorus

On Broadway I danced for a Kennedy.

They know me in London and they know me in Paris,

I’m only talkin''cause you looked like you needed a friend.

But I won’t be sorry if you won’t be And I don’t want your pity or your sympathy.

But for twenty-five dollars I’m half-way

To Miami.
