Send ‘Sister Morphine’ Ringtone to Cell

Here I lie in my hospital bed
Tell me, Sister Morphine
When are you coming round again?
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long

    (Marianne Faithfull) wrote a couple of lines; she always says she wrote everything, though. I can’t even tell you which ones. She’s always complaining she doesn’t get enough money from it. Now she says she should have got it all. It’s not what we think it was – it’s not about Marianne Faithfull? No. If you listen to the lyrics – that’s what I remember, anyway. “Here I lie in my hospital bed.” Cousin Cocaine? Yeah, that’s the bit she wrote. - Mick Jagger, 1995

    Marianne Faithfull, I think, wrote the words to this after Brian Jones had died, and she had suffered some other calamities relating to drugs. I like Keith's menacing guitar work on this, and that echoing harpsichord (right?).

    for what is surely one of the best recordings of the last 60 years this song really screams out for notice. though its no Moonlight Mile, or Sway it stands up to its AOR radio competitors any day. a real statement of a time and a lifestyle and phenomenology that transcends those demarcations

    The "Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams" line send shivers down my spine.Increadibly strong suggestive song.

    This is further proof that the young Stones are worth listening to while the stone from 80s onward are not.

    Mick Jagger wrote the music in Rome in 1968. Marianne Faithful wrote the lyrics, but The Stones did not give her an official songwriting credit until they released it on their 1998 live album No Security.
