Come And Stay With Me - Saturday Club Date: 13/05/1965 TX date: 03/04/1965 Source: Radio International

Well now it's time to meet the delightful, Marianne Faithfull
Whose going to sing her big hit number, "Come And Stay With Me"
But just before you do, Marianne, there's a couple of things I'd like to ask you
Now, er, you have what might be described as an aristocratic background
Which, to say the least, is unusual for a pop singer

Mm yes, I think there's been a misunderstanding about this
Erm, it's true that my mother was a Baroness, though a completely sort of defunct empire
And my father is a lecturer at the university and when I was very young my parents divorced
And mummy and I, sort of, went and took up our little house in Reading and there we lived
So I think I, I had just the same sort of feeling
Getting out of it, going off, doing something, being something as anyone else would

Alright, you've also had, from time to time, a tag put on you of being something of a, of a folk singer, now
Yes well, erm, it's because I really like folk, sing-, songs, you-know
Okay fine, well I think, thank you for being so frank with us
Could you now sing for us, "Come And Stay With Me"
Yes please, thank you

I'll send away all my false pride
And I'll forsake all of my lies
Yes, I'll be as true, as true can be
If you'll come and stay with me

Lovers of the past I'll leave behind
There'll never be another on my mind
I'll do all I can so you feel free
If you'll come and stay with me

The promises I made most faithfully
I'll keep still, should you decide to leave
I'll try and see that you have all you need
If you'll come and stay with me

We'll live a life no one has ever known
But I know you're thinking that I'm hardly grown
But oh thank God, at last and finally
I can see you're gonna stay with me

But oh thank God, at last and finally
I can see you're gonna stay with me
