True - they gave permission to Faithful to release it in advance of their own recording. Must have been the Mars bar sweetener
They wrote it for her. Actually at the time nobody would believe they had written it. BTW, I met a copper involved in that raid and he saidvthatbwas all a load of bull. And the fur rug was actually an enormous thing the size of a duvet for a double bed. That wasn't how it happened. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_Tears_Go_By_(song) I actually prefer the Stones version. Though I would have preferred Marianne singing me to sleep singing it curled up next to me. I remember at the time Jagger saying no one would believe they had written it. BTW, once knew a copper in Scarborough who was on that raid. He said the Mars Bar thing was rubbish and the supposed fur rug was a thing about the size of a duvet for a double bed.
I think we've had that Siouxsie one, or it might have been this one, now there's definitely one of them on twice...
No doubt it was a bollocks story, the Mars Bar episode, but as a teenager at the time, it put me off chocolate for all of 30 seconds !
