Marianne Faithfull did a cover of this song.
and i know she didn't write the lyrics but when she sings this song in first person it's as if he wrote the song for or about her and the scene and the people in the scene that she was surrounded by (sixties london).
Marianne became a drug addict living in the streets in the 70's but started to become so in the late 60's.
Yourself you touch, but not too much,
You hear it�s degrading.
She grew up religious but is a bisexual and par took in various sexual activities, yet felt a betrayal to her caatholic upbringing.
Your friends, they are making a popstar or two every evening. -the musician scene, where every second person tends to have their 15 minutes of fame.
You know that scene backwards, they can�t see the patterns they�re weaving.- Marianne was sick of the scene, noticed the roads that people took during their time in the scene. like a circle/pattern.
Your friends, they are models, but you soon got over that one. -the beautiful women, anita pallenberg. Marianne was conscious yet sucked her insecurities up and got over it.
You sit in your one room, a little brought down in London. - she was a really lonely person and spent a lot of time in various small london apartments.
I feel that the song is about being a drug addict in a typical musicians scene.
If you have read Marianne's biography 'Faithfull' you will understand this song, utterly and completely.
