Artist/Band: Marianne Faithfull
Lyrics for Song: Times Square
Lyrics for Album: Blazing Away [1990]



In a tired part of the city

Hiding from the fast talk

Watch 'don't walk' to 'walk'

Easy when you're dreaming

Staring at the movies

Standing in a circle,

Laughing at the wrong time.



If alcohol could take me there.

I'd take a shot a minute

And be there by the hour.



Take a walk around times square

With a pistol in my suitcase

And my eyes on the tv.



In a car taking a back seat

Staring out the window

Thinking about danger.

Playing in a wrong world

Fighting ¡º but I'm not free.

Talking on the telephone

Talking about you and me.



If jesus christ could take me here

I'd fall dawn on my knees,

Have no questions to his answers.



Take a walk around times square

With a pistol in my suitcase

And my eyes on the tv.



Alcohol could take me there.

I'd take a shot a minute

And be there by the hour.



Take a walk around times square

With a pistol in my suitcase

And my eyes on the tv.



And if I die gaining my senses

Wake up in a hotel

Staring at the ceiling.


Times Square - Marianne Faithfull

Released on the 1990 compilation album Blazing Away, Marianne Faithfull's cover of 'Times Square' stands as a poignant addition to her extensive discography. Faithfull, known for her distinctive voice and introspective songwriting, reimagined the classic track with a mature, reflective tone that contrasts sharply with the original's upbeat energy. The recording captures her signature ability to blend pop sensibilities with deeper emotional resonance, characteristic of her work spanning from her early days with The Fairground Sketchers to her solo career. This version serves as a testament to her enduring artistry, offering a sophisticated take on a well-known song that highlights her unique vocal texture and compositional depth within the broader context of her musical legacy.
