Rod Stewart - Maggie May - Live in Lisbon - 16 Jul 2023

Rod Stewart performing live at Altice Arena in Lisbon, Portugal
Lyrics:
Wake up, Maggie, I think I got somethin' to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at my school
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurts

The mornin' sun when it's in your face really shows your age
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes, you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love, you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul, and that's a pain I can do without

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But 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 any more
You led me away from my home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and I couldn't leave you

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playin' pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand
Oh, Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway

Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face
I’ve got to get back home, Maggie
Get back home
Get back home, Maggie
‘Cause I still love you, Maggie

I was 18 or 19 when this came out. Working 1 proper job and 2 part time, plenty of cash in me pocket, living at home, no worries, car and motorbike, girlfriends, the summers were hot, the music was hotter, we travelled and trekked, did the festivals, stoned most days and there were no phones, computers, internet, google or social media to mess with your head....life was so uncomplicated, '70 to '75 were the best/happiest years of my life, then it started getting a bit more serious/grown up with marriage and mortgages but we still had fun.
Maggie May is my signature anthem for that era...it'll be played at my funeral....and it brings a tear to my eyes, and a smile to my face every time I hear it, as the memories flood back.
71 now, and the tears come faster and more furious as I get older....but the smile gets broader 'cos, y'know what, some folks talk about doin' it but don't, some wish they'd done it, others lie about doin' it but didn't....but I did, and it was a blast.
Thanks for the memories Sir Rod, time to dry me eyes, wipe the smile off me face and skin up👍.

There are only a handful of singers who can evoke memories with their voice within the first movement. Sir Rod Stewart is one of them.

What I love about Rod Stewart is that he could sing the ABC song in a closet, and we would know immediately that it was Rod Stewart and the ABC song would reach number one!
