Lyrics
I came home one friday night
after workin' twelve hours on a buildin' site
Maggie she was gone like the broad daylight
left me nothin' but the bills to pay
We never really did see eye to eye
she used to tell me that she wished I was a better lookin' guy
we fought like tinkers till the broad daylight
but I couldn't love her any other way
She wore blue nail polish
and her hands they were soft and gentle when they fit in mine
And I was truly astonished
when she looked me in the eye and kissed me for the very last time
When we first met she was only seventeen
but she stood as regal as a Celtic queen
amber red hair and eyes of emerald green
that could scold you like the burnin' sun
she could see right through you like a window pain
put you in your place like a pawn in her game
you'd be overcome with guilt at the mention of her name
I couldn't love her any other way
She wore blue nail polish
and her flamin' locks shone and shimmered in the sweet sunshine
And I was truly astonished
when she looked me in the eye and kissed me for the very last time
Now somethin' told me that friday night
after workin' twelve hours on a building site
that Maggie wasn't puttin' up with any more shite
she was sick of livin' day to day
I tried to tell her things would be just grand
that someday soon i'd be the big boss man
but I guess I wasn't really part of Maggie's plan
but I couldn't love her any other way
She wore blue nail polish
and a kiss from her lips was like a soft sweet red wine
And I was truly astonished
when she looked me in the eye and kissed me for the very last time
So I grafted hard and stuck to my plan
workin' twelve hour days for the big boss man
built a little house on a little bit of land
things were finally goin my way
Seven years on and Maggies at me door,
wishin' everything could go back to the way it was before
Cos I sold the gaff for a million point four
Ah she couldn't love me any other way
She wore blue nail polish
Now her hair doesn't burn as brightly in the sweet sunshine
And I was truly astonished
So I said farewell to Maggie for the very last time
Farewell to Maggie and I kissed her for the very last time
Farewell to Maggie and I kissed her for the very last time
