《The Return Of Maggie Brown》歌词

[00:00:00] The Return Of Maggie Brown - Del Amitri

[00:00:12] She stepped off the bus

[00:00:14] With a burst suitcase and a frown

[00:00:20] And she could smell the breweries

[00:00:22] And abattoirs on the edge of town

[00:00:27] And the man who owes her money

[00:00:29] Won't even lend her an ear

[00:00:32] When she phones to demand his answer's vague

[00:00:35] He says I'll get back to you

[00:00:38] But right now I've got to catch the plague

[00:00:48] Down in a bargain basement

[00:00:50] She goes to shuffle through careers

[00:00:56] When all they offer her

[00:00:58] Is friendship and peace souveniers

[00:01:03] And the receptionist was playing

[00:01:05] With a pencil at her lip

[00:01:08] She asked her if she knew a place to sleep

[00:01:11] She says I'll get back to you

[00:01:14] But now I've got appointments to keep

[00:01:23] There was a shop called B J 's

[00:01:25] That she stepped into to get out of the gale

[00:01:31] They sold only British manufactured

[00:01:33] Lifetime guaranteed to fail

[00:01:39] And a store detective asked her

[00:01:41] What she had under her coat

[00:01:43] It's just a little something that I wrote

[00:01:47] It says I'll get back to you unless

[00:01:50] First your girlfriend slits your throat

[00:02:34] And by the time the sun set

[00:02:35] She was penniless and frozen to the core

[00:02:41] The Salvation Army girls refused her

[00:02:44] On the grounds they didn't know

[00:02:49] So she asked them well for advice

[00:02:51] But it turned out to be

[00:02:53] A Sunday sport reporter

[00:02:55] Who was following his nose

[00:02:57] He said I'll get back to you

[00:02:59] But first we need a picture without clothes

[00:03:05] So she stepped back on that bus

[00:03:07] With a burst suitcase and a frown

[00:03:13] She had come to the conclusion

[00:03:15] That this was not the place for Maggie Brown

[00:03:21] And it was 6 in the morning

[00:03:23] When she telephoned me

[00:03:25] Until then I'd been living on my knees

[00:03:29] But I got back up when she got back to me
