Vagabond Ways is a rock album by British singer Marianne Faithfull. This is her first album of original material since A Secret Life (1994). This work, produced by Daniel Lanois and Mark Howard, is a balladry-like extension of her then neo-cabaret persona, interpreting songs by herself and legendary songwriters of her generation, like Pink Floyd's Roger Waters, Leonard Cohen and the songwriting duo Elton John and Bernie Taupin. Many of the stories told on this album were adapted from memories that didn't make her autobiography or her observations of social struggles she felt particularly moved by.

"Incarceration of a Flower Child" was written by Roger Waters in 1968, and has never been recorded in any format by Pink Floyd. The lyrics seem to be about the downfall of former Floyd member Syd Barrett, but Waters has never confirmed this.

A Deluxe Edition was released in 2022 by BMG Rights Management.

Vagabond Ways — рок-альбом Марианны Фейтфулл. Это первый её альбом с оригинальным материалом после A Secret Life (1994). Эта работа, спродюсированная Дэниелом Лануа и Марком Ховардом, представляет собой продолжение её тогдашней нео-кабаретной стилизации песни песен, написанных ею самой и легендарными авторами её поколения, такими как Роджер Уотерс из Pink Floyd, Леонард Коэн и авторский дуэт Элтона Джона и Берни Топина.
