And I Don't Want to Live This Life
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And I Don't Want To Live This Life is a non-fiction book written by Deborah Spungen. Published by Random House in 1983, it is about her daughter, Nancy Spungen, who was allegedly killed by Nancy's boyfriend, Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols at the Chelsea Hotel.
The book is named after a line in a poem Vicious wrote some time after Nancy's death:
- You were my little baby girl,
- And I shared all your fears.
- Such joy to hold you in my arms
- and kiss away your tears.
- But now you're gone, there's only pain
- and nothing I can do.
- And I don't want to live this life,
- If I can't live for you.
- To my beautiful baby girl.
- Our love will never die...
