Something Better Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

He walks along singing his fairy song 

Picking up magic that grows at his feet. 

She says the same her peculiar way 

Dreaming good fortune on everyone's street. 

Say, hey, have you heard, blue whiskey's the rage, 

I'll send you a jug in the morning. 

It is absurd to live in a cage, 

You know there's got to be something better. 

As they go by, don't look with eagle's eyes 

Smile on your jailers until they grow weak. 

Nothing can compare to something that's almost there 

To tear up the madness that all of us seek.
