[Verse 1]
Wake up Maggie, I think I've got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore

[Chorus]
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart
And that's what really hurts

[Verse 2]
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
You turned into a lover and mother, what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed and in the morning, kick me in the head
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore

[Chorus]
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart
I couldn't leave you if I tried

[Verse 3]
I suppose I could collect my books and go back to school
I'll steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool
I'll find myself a rock 'n' roll band that needs a helping hand
Oh, Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face

[Chorus]
You made a first class fool of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart
But I love you anyway

Blur

British rock group Blur formed in 1988 and began life as a fairly unsuccessful shoegaze/madchester outfit, but the band quickly developed into becoming one of the leaders of the massive 1990s Britpop scene.

Their rivalry with contemporaries Oasis culminated in one of the most famous chart battles in British history – one which Blur won when “Country House” outsold Oasis’s “Roll With It” by 50,000 copies, giving Blur their first #1 single in the process.

Following this, the group embarked on a new musical direction, deliberately heading away from their trademark Britpop sound and instead taking influences from American alternative rock, a sound which earned them new fans in the US and gave them their second UK #1: “Beetlebum” in 1997.
