KEEP VISIBLE




Soul searchin' down and out lookin' for a place to stay

A place with no commitment, a place with no involvement

I got one eye on insanity, the other on the wheel

One's turnin', one's burnin', blazin' away

One's turnin', one's burnin', blazin' away



Strange lookin' exile with a passion for the dangers

Eye for the wicked, a tongue for the nasty

I got one eye on insanity, the other on the wheel

One's turnin', one's burnin', blazin' away

One's turnin', one's burnin', blazin' away



What is the reason that things change?

What is the reason they can never stay the same?

What can I do? What can I do?

Feel it, release it, things change

Feel it, release it, things change

Feel it, release it, things change



What is the reason that things change?

What is the reason they can never stay the same?

What can I do? What can I do?

Feel it, release it, things change

Feel it, release it, things change

Feel it, release it, things change



So searchin' down and out lookin' for a place to stay

Place with no commitment, a place with no involvement

I got one eye on insanity, the other on the wheel

One's turnin', one's burnin', blazin' away

One's turnin', one's burnin', blazin' away


Blazing Away

Marianne Faithfull's 1990 release 'Blazing Away' stands as a poignant late-career reflection on the themes of her earlier work, particularly the heartbreak explored in her 1966 debut. Recorded with a stripped-down, intimate production style, the track captures the raw vulnerability characteristic of her signature vocal delivery, blending folk sensibilities with a melancholic pop sensibility. While the song does not directly reference her most famous hits like 'As Tears Go By' or 'Two of Us', it echoes the emotional depth and lyrical honesty that defined her early catalog. Released decades after her initial breakthrough, the recording serves as a testament to her enduring ability to convey complex feelings of longing and loss through simple, evocative instrumentation. The piece remains a significant addition to her discography, offering a mature perspective on the personal struggles she famously chronicled in her youth.
