Maggie Lyrics

I gave a homeless man a tenner today

I hope he don't spend it in the same old way

That curiosity envelopes me

It's the moral compass I took from you

The confident posture, meniscus blue

It's that Irish charm that'll probably be here forever, and ever

Wham bam baby, solar system save me

Did you pray for broke flairs or an evening with a lady

Stunt double prior, MainStage like Mariah

Don't concede to open parachutes they'll only take you higher

Maybe I can return the favour one day

But certainly not in this life,

Where did you go

Cos I've been clutching at straws for a while

Another decade without that smile

I wanna go wherever Maggie goes

I wonder if she knows

Birthed from the fire of county Wicklow

Taken to whichever way the wind blows

A mercurial mermaid then and now

I still remember the see through pram

Longford park in the palm of your hands

An entire epilogue in such a tiny house

Maybe I can return the favour one day

But certainly not in this life

Where did you go

Cos i've been clutching at straws for a while

Another decade without that smile

I wanna go wherever Maggie goes

I wonder if she knows

I wonder if she knows

My mind is transparent, clarity-kissed

Dissolved in a wormhole, of memories missed

Forever closer to the scales, no adherence to weight

Hunger is a virtue, that I've taken off the plate

So I am at the mercy of a chokehold, with an ever-tightening grip

Circulating whispers, to the palm on which I sit

I had to look the other way, she still asks me if my Dads ok

I wonder if she knows

I wonder if she knows
