Whilst in class and talking about the different viewpoints of people analysing the poem “Maude Clare” by Christina Rossetti, I realised that although we could discuss how a feminist and a historian viewed the poem differently, Rick Astley’s viewpoint was another matter entirely. My annotations were soon filled with song lyrics… Oops!
I don’t think Christina Rossetti would be too impressed with me, but the original poem can be viewed here.
Maude Clare was no stranger to love
Lord Thomas knew the rules and still he lied
A full commitment’s what she was thinking of
She wouldn’t get this from any other guyShe just wanted to tell him how jilted she was feeling
Gotta make Nell understandLord Thomas gave her up
Lord Thomas let her down
Lord Thomas ran around and deserted her
Lord Thomas made her cry
Lord Thomas said goodbye
Lord Thomas told a lie and hurt herThey had known each other for so long
Her heart was aching but she was too shy to say it
Inside they both knew what’s been going on
They knew the game and they were gonna play itAnd if Nell asks her how she’s feeling
Don’t tell her you’re too blind to seeLord Thomas gave her up
Lord Thomas let her down
Lord Thomas ran around and deserted her
Lord Thomas made her cry
Lord Thomas said goodbye
Lord Thomas told a lie and hurt herGave her up, gave her up
Gave her up, gave her up
Lord Thomas gave her up
Gave her up, gave her up
Lord Thomas gave her up
Gave her up, gave her upShe just wanted to tell him how jilted she was feeling
Gotta make Nell understandLord Thomas gave her up
Lord Thomas let her down
Lord Thomas ran around and deserted her
Lord Thomas made her cry
Lord Thomas said goodbye
Lord Thomas told a lie and hurt herLord Thomas gave her up
Lord Thomas let her down
Lord Thomas ran around and deserted her
Lord Thomas made her cry
Lord Thomas said goodbye
Lord Thomas told a lie and hurt herLord Thomas gave her up
Lord Thomas let her down
Lord Thomas ran around and deserted her
Lord Thomas made her cry
Lord Thomas said goodbye
Lord Thomas told a lie and hurt her
