A standout b-side hit from the album Broken English. Interviewed with Stereo Society her producer and collaborator Barry Reynolds states:
With Marianne, probably one of the best things we ever put down was Why D'Ya Do It? a lyric by Heathcote Williams. She came in and read it, and it was so outrag...
Why d’Ya Do It Lyrics
When I stole a twig from our little nest
And gave it to a bird with nothing in her beak
I had my balls and my brains put into a vice
And twisted around for a whole fuckin' week
"Why'd you do it?",she said
"Why'd you let that trash
Get a hold of your cock get stoned on my hash?"
"Why'd you do it?", she said
"Why'd you let her suck your cock?
Oh, do me a favor don't put me in the dark"
"Why'd you do it?", she said
"They're mine all your jewels
You just tied me to the mast of the ship of fools"
"Why'd you do it",she said
"When you know it makes me sore
'Cause she had cobwebs up her fanny
And I believe in giving to the poor"
"Why'd you do it", she said
"Why'd you spit on my snatch?
Are we out of love now is this just a bad patch?"
"Why'd you do it", she said
"Why'd you do what you did?
You drove my ego to a really bad skid"
"Why'd you do it", she said
"Ain't nothing to laugh
You just tore all our kisses right in half"
"Why'd you do it", she said
"Why'd you do what you did
Betray my little oyster for such a low bid?"
"Why'd you do it", she said
"Why'd you do what you did?"
You drove my ego to a really bad skid"
"Why'd you do it", she screamed
After all we've said
"Every time I see your dick, I see her cunt in my bed"
Well the whole room was swirling
Her lips were still curling
"Oh why'd you do it", she said
"Why'd you do what you did?"
"Why'd you do it", she said
"Why'd you do what you did?"
"Why'd you do it", she said
"Why'd you do it", she said
"Why'd you do what you did?"
Oh big, grey, mugger
I love you forever
Oh with your barbed wire pussy
And your good and bad weather
