lyrics

Maggie
H&S Owens

Maggie’s on the ferry wharf, pushing through the crowd
I only know her name because she talks so very loud
Shrunken eyes, aging face, rollers in her hair
Cursing ‘bout something as she searches for the fare

The ferry bangs onto the barge, the crowd is piling in
Maggie huddles in her coat, it’s brown and wearing thin
She shuffles up the gangplank, counting as she goes
Pacing up and pacing down, warding off her foes

Take care or they will get you, they’re after me you know
I spoke to the Prime Minister and tried to tell him so
Police force and the military have all been paid a fee
But I got in touch with God and he is gonna pray for me

Maggie’s on the ferry boat, tapping with her feet
They’re poisoning the air we breathe and plotting our defeat
There’s spies out in the harbour, they’ve come to get the Queen
Training their torpedoes as they watch from submarines

CHORUS

Maggie’s on the gangplank, she’s waving Bob goodbye
He’s captain of the ferry boat and knows about the spies
She moves along the ferry wharf, pushing through the crowd
And I only know her name because she talks so very loud

CHORUS
