Maggie Said Lyrics


Maggie said
Dig one more shallow grave before I'm dead
Maggie said
I'm just lookin' for a place that I can lay my weary head
There's no perfect end
Just time to leaveMaggie said
They wreck the table at the game of love
Maggie said
It's just stupid luck if you rise above
Everybody's second in death
Win or lose, my friend
It's so hard to leaveHoldin' back
What did I get for all of that?
What did it count for?
Tell me that
Nothin'
Nothin'
Oh, nothin', that's a factMaggie said

It's so hard to find the Golden Fleece to spin my golden thread
Maggie said
You're preachin' to the choir, girl, now
You're not stickin' out your neck
There's no risk in that
Darlin', pleaseHoldin' back
What did I get for all of that?
What did it count for?
Tell me that
Tell me that
Nothin'
Nothin'
Nothin', that's a factMaggie said
Don't let them take that halo from your head
Maggie said
I can see you're turning hard now, girl
Don't lose your tenderness
What's the use in that?
Darlin', pleaseHoldin' back
What did I get for all of that?
What did it count for?
Tell me that
Count for?
Tell me that
Nothin'
Nothin'
Nothin'
Oh, nothin', that's a fact

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Natalie Anne O'Shea Merchant (born October 26, 1963 in Jamestown, New York, U.S.) is a professional musician. She co-founded and fronted the band 10,000 Maniacs in 1981. Later, she went to college and then left the band in 1993 and started a successful solo career. Merchant plays the piano, produces and writes many of her songs.

Her debut solo album Tigerlily (1995) had three top-40 singles: 'Carnival', 'Jealousy' and 'Wonder'. This was followed in 1998 with her second solo album Ophelia, her third in 2001 with Motherland, and fourth in 2003 called 'The House Carpenter's Daughter'.

Merchant has sung alongside Tracy Chapman, Michael Stipe, David Byrne and Peter Gabriel. She has also collaborated with Billy Bragg a number of times, including the 1998 album Mermaid Avenue. Like Bragg, her work touches on social and political themes; she has been active in promoting a number of campaigning issues in both her songs and through the causes to which she lends her name.
