Why’d Ya Do It – Marianne Faithfull

When I stole a twig from our little nest
And gave it to a bird with nothing in her beak
I had my balls and my brains put into a vice
And twisted around for a whole fucking week
Why’d ya do it, she said, why’d you let that trash
Get a hold of your cock, get stoned on my hash?

Why’d ya do it she said, why’d you let her suck your cock?
Oh, do me a favour, don’t put me in the dark
Why’d ya do it, she said, they’re mine all your jewels
You just tied me to the mast of the ship of fools

Why’d ya do it, she said, when you know it makes me sore
‘Cause she had cobwebs up her fanny and I believe in giving to the poor
Why’d ya do it, she said, why’d you spit on my snatch?
Are we out of love now, is this just a bad patch?

Why’d ya do it, she said, why’d you do what you did?
You drove my ego to a really bad skid
Why’d you do it, she said, ain’t nothing to laugh
You just tore all our kisses right in half!

Why’d ya do it, she said, why’d you do what you did?
You drove my ego to a really bad skid
Why’d ya do it, she screamed, after all we’ve said
Every time I see your dick I see her cunt in my bed

Why’d ya do it, she said, why’d ya do what you did?
Betray my little oyster for such a low bid

The whole room was swirling
Her lips were still curling

Why’d ya do it, she said, why’d you do what you did?
Why’d ya do it, she said, why’d you do what you did?
Why’d ya do it, she said, why’d ya do it, she said
Why’d you do what you did?

Oh, big grey mother, I love you forever
With your barbed wire pussy and your good and bad weather
Why’d ya do it, she said, why’d you do what you did…

Ah, I feel better now
