Now, although last time we met, Marianne Faithfull, erm
She told us that she was thinking of getting married
She kept the actual wedding date a secret
Now, why did you do that Marianne?
Erm, well, I announced I was getting married and I intended to have a public wedding in June
I felt that what I did between that time really didn't matter
It was my own business (indeed it was)
Because there wasn't any real deception involved, because I had announced it
So it wasn't really a secret, we just didn't tell anyone
No, fine, I think a very wise move
Have you any personal ambitions, in relation to your career
Things you have not yet fulfilled, that you really want to do?
Erm, yes, there are all sorts of wild ideas, I'd love one day to make a modern jazz L.P
Sort of crazy things like that, I'd like to act, very much, (you would) make a film
Right fine, now what about the record scene
Have you got a new one lined up to follow, "This Little Bird"
Erm, yes, we've, we've, we've decided on it and we've half recorded it
All right then, we shall look forward to hearing it
But meanwhile could we hear, "This Little Bird"
Yes
There's a little bird that somebody sends
Down to the earth to live on the winds
Bourn on the wind and he sleeps on the wind
This little bird
That somebody sends
He's light and fragile and feathered sky blue
So thin and graceful the sun shines through
This little bird who lives on the wind
This little bird
That somebody sends
He flies so high up in the sky
Out of reach of human eye
And the only time that he touches the ground
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird dies
