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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lifetime guaranteed to fail[00:01:33]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A Sunday sport reporter[00:02:53]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When she telephoned me[00:03:23]

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

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