lyrics

MAGDALENE

It came from out of nowhere
Whilst the whole world was asleep
A blinding light, no thunder
Just the sound of a thousand men
Jumping to their feet
There was trouble at the courthouse
No judges to be seen
Just the far cry of the children
And the women that walked free
It was a fine old summer
The best there’d ever been
And the light shone bright
And they called it Magdalene

The faith man looked shaken
He dropped down upon his knees
Tried to hide amongst the shadows
But the light crept up on him
Said “Fear not my brother,
I am here to set you free
Now rise for your sister,
My name is Magdalene”

Now the money men came forward
A pack of jokers, pack of thieves
Waving pricey bits of paper
They’d torn from nearby trees
Said “Girl you gonna need representing
We gonna need some guarantees”
But the light outshone the gold
That lined their teeth

It was a fine old summer
The best there’d ever been
We were all their together
Just moving to the beat(ing) sun
Here she comes, the one and only Magdalene
It was a fine old summer
The best there'd ever been
The kids were running wild
Under the light of Magdalene
