Magdalene (My Regal Zonophone) (Brooker / Reid)
BEbCmF
Though I know the night has fallen
BbEb
and the sun's sailed out to sea
CmF
I will wait here for the band to play
BbEb
the trumpet voluntary
Eb7Ab
And with one foot on the seashore
Fm
and the other in the sand
Bb
I will stand here plaiting daisies
EbBbEb
whilst you play the piano-grand
Caprice, your bugle blew away
the cobwebs from my ears
and for once I stood quite naked.
Unashamed, I wept the tears
which I tried to hide inside
myself from me, I mean from you
but the shame I found too painful
and the pain it only grew
papada
