Derived from a Heathcote Williams poem, this song with it’s wash-your-mouth-out lyrics is a superb album closer. Why D’ya Do It? Completes the 8-track album and is the most controversial song on the record. Although she wasn’t from a working class background (technically, neither was Lennon), she carries it off with remarkable conviction. Other highlights include Guilt, with its funky bass and synths (courtesy of a certain Steve Winwood) and The Ballard Of Lucy Jordan (originally performed by Dr Hook). A cover of Lennon’s Working Class Hero, on paper, looks like a mistake, but Faithfull does what Bowie’s Tin Machine didn’t do ten years later, and keeps it very minimal. The title track is rooted to a hypnotic synth riff (and occasional Vangelis / Blade Runner sound effects) with a simple rhythm backing, and Faithfull’s altered, damaged voice is quite haunting as she sings “ what are you fighting for?” (the song is about the Baader-Meinhof terrorists group). If Faithfull is crossing the bridge from punk to new wave she has almost reached the other side, and it is the minimalist, new-wave production that gives the music its contemporary edge (for 1979). Mid-paced reflections on broken lives and damaged people.

Demos recorded by the band were heard by Island Records’ Chris Blackwell who saw the potential for an album. Faithfull’s journey from ’60s pop star muse to ’70s homeless junkie is well documented, and this album was borne out of the touring band that was put together to capitalise on unexpected success in the Irish charts with her Dreamin’ My Dreams single, from the ‘comeback’ country album of the same name (reissued in 1978 as Faithless). Marianne Faithfull‘s 1979 album Broken English was reissued on Monday 28th January as a two-CD deluxe edition. A friend of mine did this reissue, and I can guarantee that it will please!
