Truth
Lyrics and Songs by Marianne Faithfull - Go back

Where did it go to my youth?
Where did it slip away to?
Who was it told the truth - the bitter truth?
The truth we didn't want to know.

What is it do you know? What is it
can't bear it?
Who did it - do I care?
Who is it - when did it happen and where?

Why did you let me know?
How could you think I'd stand it?
You know I'd pay you back

I did it and it happened - do you care?

Where did it go to my youth? . . .

Who is he - do you know?
This man of power but a fool
They said he was so high and pure

They also said he was cruel.

They killed him
did you see?
They knew he couldn't take it.
They wanted lies - he told the truth

They did it - and it happened - who cares.

Where did it go to my youth? . . .
Why did you let me know . . .
What is it - do you know? . . .

Who is it - do you know?
What is it - can I bear it?
Who did it - do I care?
Who is it - when did it happen and where?

Where did it go to my youth? . . .
