lyrics

Anita Pallenberg Is Not Dead

She just wanted your attention
and for him to call her hers
for all the world to see her,
loved, admired, and adored

It’s not easy being pretty
in a crowd of alpha dudes
having Russian roulette lovers
spill their blood in your bedroom

Anita Pallenberg Is Not Dead
she’s just a bit of a recluse
cycling round the British towns
a triumph of style over substance abuse

A baby died so sudden
A lover drowned in vain
and the junkie mother slept
never feeling any pain

she just wanted her delusions
to fade out overnight
and be replaced by an illusion
one that actually felt right

CHORUS

when your best friends call you evil
evil glamour girl undone
and they chase you to the station
and Keith Richards saves your son

you’ve gotta wonder was it worth it
as a rock and roller’s muse
Anita simply smiles
and she softly sings the blues

CHORUS
