Flowers for Peggy by The Candle Thieves Lyrics

[ verse 1 ]
Everybody’s bringing flowers for Peggy
Flowers for Peggy
But when she opens up the door
Everyone’s complaining things are heavy
But our Peggy doesn’t say a word


[ verse 2 ]
Her next door neighbour’s always talking about the war
He says you should’ve seen that girl when she was 24


[ Chorus ]
And now I know well everybody’s bringing
Everybody’s bringing
Bringing flowers for Peggy


[ verse 3 ]
Talk of problems Well I got many
And so has Peggy
But she keeps them to herself
She makes a cup of tea
Then sits on the settee
God bless her memory it isn’t what it was
[ verse 4 ]
And still she says “a mixed philosophy’s the best I’ve got to give
Never to forget and try your hardest to forgive”


[ Chorus ]
And now I know well everybody’s bringing
Everybody’s bringing
Bringing flowers for Peggy


[ Bridge ]
Peggy’s got a tortured soul
She let [ ? ]
How many terraces on her street
There was a field when she was born
She wonders where she is at all
Two wars can leave a lady feeling old


[ verse 5 ]
Everybody’s bringing flowers for Peggy
Her youngest grandson even bought her a balloon
She draws the curtains back and turns off the telly
And we shout hooray for Peggy
These flowers are for you

[ verse 6 ]
She puts her family first
That’s how they all survived
But she’s holding up the traffic on her Sunday morning drive


[ outro / Chorus ]
And so I know well everybody’s
Everybody’s bringing
Everybody’s bringing
Everybody’s bringing
Everybody’s bringing
Everybody’s bringing
Bringing flowers for Peggy
