"This is the evening of the day … my very first purchased disc, Come And Stay With Me … years later, sitting on her bed in Brussels … hearing her version of Dear God, Please Help Me … she said 'Lou Reed told me to cover it' … her music brought us all closer … the girl to whom everything happened."

MORRISSEY.

‘Her song "Sha La La Song" was given by Morrissey to Marr on a tape soon after they met.
It is rumoured that early in their career the Smiths considered, or even attempted, to cover "Summer Nights" or "Sha La La Song".

In the wintertime
Keep your feet warm,
Keep your clothes on
And don't forget me.
Keep the memory,
But keep your powder dry, too.
In the summer
By the pool side
While the fireflies
Are all around me,
I'll miss you when I'm lonely,
I'll miss the alimony, too.
Don't forget me, please don't forget me,
Make it easy on me just for a little while.
You know I'll think about you,
Let me know you think about me, too.
When we're older
And full of cancer
It doesn't matter now,
Come on, get happy,
'Cause nothing lasts forever,
And I will always love you.
Don't forget me, please don't forget me,
Make it easy on me just for a little while.
You know I'll think about you,
Let me know you think about me, too.
You know I'll think about you,
Let me know you think about me, too.

❤️
 


But to die a good death is my dream
And I wish it for all, for all I know and love
Deep down below and high above
We're born to die, no one to blame
We're born to love, we're all the same
:disrelieved:
 
Read her book in the 90's...like a lot of biogs.......falls away towards the end but it's a good read upto then, esp when she's down on her uppers and living in the gutter in Soho.

Yeah. I remember watching a documentary on BBC about the painter Francis Bacon.

Marianne was broke, a drug addict, whose "home" was a wall in Soho. Bacon saw her one day and for a while took her to posh London restaurants for slap up meals.
