Marigold Songtext
von Kevin Coyne

Marigold was dreaming about somebody
About a fight that she′d almost won with a man

Marigold was dreaming about a punch-up
About a scrawny neat fight on the kitchen floor

Marigold was dreaming over the stewpot
Holding forth imaginary blows and scars
Yes, Marigold was dreaming, she wasn't screaming
Her high-heeled foot was pressed upon the chest of a man
"All men are fools," she said
"And most of them would be better if they were dead
I wish they′d all get out of my well-firm head
And leave women to rule the world, leave it to the girls"


Marigold was dreaming as she was creaming
A big cream cake, she baked the cake just throwing at me
Marigold was dreaming, she was a cat
With claws so sharp they tore my skull away and most of the hair
Yes, Marigold was dreaming, oh, oh, dreaming
She was richer than anybody could ever see
And she shrouded on me with her riches
Marigold was dreaming, she was leaping
Across a ravine on a horse made out of gold

Silly, you know, to think she never knew nothing
That she, she wanted to be my best friend
She said she was almost my best friend
But there was a girl called Julie or somebody somewhere far away
Who she knew who lived more than me
Therefore would be a better friend in the end for her
She said she knew anyway that most of what I said I'd
Got out of the books and I didn't know what she was doing
And that women were about to take over the world
I said, "Marigold, you′re dreaming!"
