L'album A Secret Life, produit par Angelo Badalamenti, sorti en 1995 nous révèle une Marianne Faithfull sereine et en paix avec elle-même. Fini la drogue, fini les excès en tous genres.

It's getting dark outside
Daytime is done.
The lights along the river come up
One by one.
Let's make love again
We got time.
I am yours
You are mine.
It's getting dark outside
I have to go.
Don't want my husband
Or my friends to know.
Zip up my dress
I can't find my shoes.
Don't fall in love with me
Too much to lose.
The kids are home by now
Have to think fast.
I really think this afternoon
Must be the last.
Don't say anything,
Don't turn on the light.
Thanks for loving me,
Call you tonight.
