    How about the one that used to be the Nimble advert by the ????,
    entitled something like 'Now I know I can't let Maggie go'.
    
    Or Maggie MAy by rod Stewart, only in this instance she did !!
    
    If anyone can supply the ??? above I'll be eternally grateful

    There was of course a song written a few years ago which Dave will be
    able to fill youmore in about but one of the verses went -
    
    Maggie Thatcher,
    You can't match her,
    She's the darling of us all,
    She's the curse of the Irish nation,
    Fina Gael and Fina Fail,
    When she holds negiotations,
    Things they always reach a hitch,
765.5CHEFS::PRICETShaking The Disease..Fri Nov 23 1990 10:1215
    How about
    
    " I did it my way "
    
    or for the possible new PM
    
    "Hurd it on the grapevine" by Marvin Gaye or "I Hurd a rumour" by
    Bananarama
    
    or for Major
    
    "Ello John got a new job"

765.6WELMTS::GREENBTramp the dirt downFri Nov 23 1990 10:255
    For me, the song that describes the full horror of the Thatcher reign
    of terror is Elvis Costello's 'Tramp The Dirt Down'. Such bitterness,
    anger, and sadness.

765.8Ain't gonna work on Maggie's Farm no more!AYOV27::IMCPHERSONCrunchy Frog flavour?Fri Nov 23 1990 12:199
    There's a song on Chris Rea's  'Road to Hell' called
    
    	'Maggies Farm'
    
    and it's all about Mrs T.
    
    Same title as the Bob Dylan song but different music/lyrics.

765.9IGETIT::BROWNMThe pointy T has gone! ;-)Fri Nov 23 1990 12:553
    U2 also did the Bob Dylan song.
    
    I Love Tim's `Hurd It Through The Grapevine'  :-) :-) :-)

    I've also been using the Captain Sensible song in my p/n.  I thought it
    was quite appropriate.
765.11Cue the flanged guitar solo ...WARNUT::KAYDWORM-mode noterTue Nov 27 1990 12:4317
The one I thought of was the Zombies/Santana hit - "She's not there".

I thought of this one just for the title, but the first verse seems
pretty appropriate too. I may be a bit out, but I think it's something
like:-

No-one told me about her, the way she lied
No-one told me about her, how many people cried
Well it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother trying to find her, she's not there

Not a bad fit eh ! :-)

Cheers,

    Derek

    Oh so late, 
    
    But what are the Blow Monkeys going to write songs about now Maggie's
    gone?
    
    "We're going to Celebrate the day after you!". :^)
