Waiting For Margaret To Go

Chumbawamba - Waiting for Margaret to Go (2013) [Intro] [Verse] Alfred and Beatrice and Muriel too Over the shop where the train passes through Play happy families the cards falling fast Alderman preacher runs up and down stairs       Muriel a sister but never a friend Kept well apart in the same gable end Following father at odds with the world A chip off the old block the scholarship curve [Chorus] Not any better the devil you know Waiting for Margaret to go Not any better the devil you know Waiting for Margaret to go Oh! Waiting for Margaret to go [Verse] Oxford for chemistry mend and make do Society turned her the truest of blue Back in the shop Mr. Roberts had taught That people like flour can be sold and be bought [Chorus] Masters above and servants below Waiting for Margaret to go Masters above and servants below Waiting for Margaret to go Oh! Waiting for Margaret to go [Verse] Up to the house where the loyalty wears Thinner than carpets on father’s old stairs Her friends like her enemies stretched on the rack Play happy families but don’t turn your back [Chorus] The grocers and Methodists lay her down low Waiting for Margaret to go The grocers and Methodists lay her down low Waiting for Margaret to go Oh! Waiting for Margaret to go [Verse] Alfred he closes the shop one more time Little girl singing her nursery rhymes Here comes a candle to light you to bed Here comes a chopper to chop off your head [Chorus] Down with the shutters and on with the show No more waiting for Margaret to go Down with the shutters and on with the show No more waiting for Margaret to go No more waiting for Margaret to go
