Maida Hill - Graham Parker

I stood on Maida hill

I thought about my life and work

And how there is some more to do

And how it will end

She could be with me now

She could be lying in my bed

Her hair in waves around her head

She could be with me now

I wore that coat of green

She wore that dress in aubergine

But that was just a fever dream

And I was all alone

We stood upon the beach

We shook our spears at foreigners

We drove them from our sceptered isl

And now we’re all alone

I stood on Maida hill

I stood and watchd the battle rage

But that was in another age

And now we’re just alone

We want to be alone
