Am I alone here or do other people find this funny? Aside from the fact that the creator of course ditched his "working class" wife for the progeny of one of the four families that own her entire country, Marianne has in my opinion just totally stolen this song. I don't think that I am capable of imagining anyone else singing it as their own song, rather like Sunday Morning Comin' Down.....the songwriter can sing it and the response is "wait that is not Johnny Cash....You suck!!!!" But any way Marianne Faithfull, leaving aside the suffering and pathos of being a heroin addict, is descended from the aristocracy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Perhaps the most famous named dessert on Earth is named for her family as is one of the 4-5 most famous hotels on Earth and a famous character archetype in literature which has gone on to become a mental illness. Working class hero indeed. Imagine Paris Hilton singing this song if her family history went back a century further and did not start in El Paso, Texas.
