After turns as a neo-cabaret/slow ballad crooner in previous works (represented by her 1990s works with Hal Willner, Angelo Badalamenti and the interpretation of Brecht/Weill standards), Faithfull was eager to collaborate with contemporary musicians. She co-wrote almost all the songs, and worked with several notable musicians who produced the tracks.
Sex with Strangers: electro-funk sprechstimme track, influenced by Serge Gainsbourg and Beck's Midnite Vultures
Someone saw you By the waterside. Nothing you can do will change her. This is not the time for secrets Save your breath.
It's time For sex With strangers. It's time For sex With strangers. It's time For sex With strangers - Maybe sex with someone else.
Completely empty You have nothing left inside. Bored, you thought you'd try a little danger - And now you have betrayed yourself.
It's time For sex With strangers. It's time For sex With strangers. It's time For sex With strangers - Time for sex with someone else.
She wants to run away and hide Nothing you can do will save her She thought she knew you. Knew how much you felt.
But now It's sex With strangers. Now It's sex With strangers. But now It's sex With strangers - Time for sex with someone else.
But now It's sex With strangers Now It's sex With strangers. But now It's sex With strangers - Now it's time for sex with someone else
