In an email to Gerard Bellaart of Cold Turkey Press Heathcote Williams writes about this poem:
“Had a message from Marianne Faithfull…’Isn’t it time you wrote me another song?’ I said: ‘What do you want it to be about?’She said she’d been reading a book about Edith Piaf and was gripped by it. I said I’d have a look.”
