Miss Marigold
What have you been told?
They say you wandered from a dream
But I don't believe in such things
Miss Marigold
What are the days of old?
They say you were there in ancient times
I don't believe in such silly lies
Miss Marigold
They hold you high on expectations
Hold you aloft on their intentions
Who is to say they're right?
Miss Marigold
They love to mention your conquests
And I can imagine that that jest
Surely no one is so capable?
Miss Marigold
What of the millions you have sold?
They say thousands hold a piece of you
But I'm shouting it's all untrue
Miss Marigold
Such fanciful things I was told
I can't conceive you're all they claim
And I know, maybe it's just a shame
Miss Marigold
They hold you high on expectations
Hold you aloft on their intentions
Who is to say they're right?
Miss Marigold
They love to mention your conquests
And I can imagine that that jest
Surely no one is so capable?
They say you brought down nations fast
and told me about the lots that they cast
About the silly fools that died for you
and I'm saying, saying it's all untrue
Miss Marigold
They speak of you controlling the world
There's fools flying your banners unfurled
And everyone wants a piece of you
Tell me that this isn't true
Miss Marigold
They say you whisper in mother's ears
They say you're every father's tears
And that the youth all gasp for your air
They say you fight away hateful things
Cause little girls aloud to sing
And that the world revolves around you
Miss Marigold
They say couples light candles to you
and loose themselves in the sheets to do
things they say in your name
They say loyalties died on your tongue
and caused foolhardy young men to run
and made people bow their knees
Miss Marigold
Is it true, is it true, tell me is it true?
Did you do all these things?
Miss Marigold
They hold you high on expectations
Hold you aloft on their intentions
Who is to say they're right?
Miss Marigold
They love to mention your conquests
And I can imagine that that jest
Surely love isn't so capable?
Surely love isn't so capable?
Miss Marigold
Tell me you are not so capable?
Tell me I won't do the unthinkable
and believe that they're all right?
