Rod Stewart

[Ric.ror]

I dont really like him but 'the first cut is the deepest' is a great song

[ummmm]

I really like a bit of Rod.

[hc4361]

Written by Cat Stevens, first recorded by PP Arnold.

[Tilly2]

It certainly is.

[Hopkirk]

Can't bear the man.

[berniecuddles]

pmsl @ ummmm "I really like a bit of Rod".

[joggerjayne]

He had some great lyrics ...

You lured me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart
I couldn't leave you if I tried.
I suppose I could collect my books and get back to school.

So Maggie is, what ... a lonely old sex offender, who lures school boys away from their homes, just to save herself from being alone?

[Tilly2]

His 'Handbags and Gladrags' is good too.

[Sipowicz]

7" or 12" ummmm?

[joggerjayne]

He had some great lyrics (2) ...

Good morning little schoolgirl
Can I come home with you
Tell your mama and your papa
I once was a schoolboy too

So the object of his desire in this song is, err ... a "school girl"

'nuff said.

[Octavius]

C'mon angel my hearts on fire
Don't deny your man's desire
You'd be a fool to stop this tide
Spread your wings and let me come inside

Tonights the night....

[Prudie]

Well nowadays Maggie would definitely be a lonely old sex offender but back in the 70s it was OK, worth singing about in fact :-)

[Octavius]

Tonights the night (2)

....

Don't say a word my virgin child
Just let your inhibitions run wild

[Baldric]

Sells himself as a Scot,
Was born in Highgate,
not of lot of true Scots could claim that!

Prudie ...

That argument didn't work for Jimmy Savile or Stuart Hall, so I don't think it would work for Maggie May.

[woofgang]

also the Motown song

[woofgang]

didn't work...

[Prudie]

JJ no as I said, nowadays she wouldn't get away with it. How old do you think she was supposed to be anyway?

[joggerjayne]

Prudie ...

Maggie May was old enough to be a home owner.

And the lyrics suggest she is ageing a bit ...

"The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age"

Probably too old to be luring school boys away from home.

So we have ...

Abduction?

Sex with a school boy too young to legally consent ( = Rape ) ?

I think Maggie May should be "assisting Police with their enquiries" lol
