Mrs. Marple
Secret Service Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What delicious Monday morning
China cups and spoons
Once made of silver like a good
(Here is the moon now you′re all right)
Reading loud the comic scripts, no one ever hears
And no one understands my fears
That cosmic box seems to call
Oh, walkin' up the stairs
Talking to the walls (Ooh na na na)
Life never tells some day
I rocks to dust
Never face good night
Oh oh So Mrs. Marple goodbye
We′re leaving right now for the sky
Here's yellow doubtful tears
And growing girls and lovely music
So Mrs. Marple goodbye
I wonder if it will be raining
Say "Hi" to Jane And thank her for the tea
Flying off where eagles stare
Compromise a settle
For the trailer money buys (
It seems this Monday was all right)
Crazy smiles can cheat today
Everybody laughs I wonder why
I'm not doubt that (And all my friends they will follow)
Oh, living on your own Nothing much to do
(Ooh na na na) Life doesn′t always care




While you and me
We stand and stare goodbye Oh oh

Overall Meaning

The song "Mrs. Marple" by Secret Service is a melancholic ballad with cryptic lyrics that evoke a sense of detachment and existential questioning. The opening line "What delicious Monday morning" sets the tone for a nostalgic reverie that takes place in an idyllic past, symbolized by the "China cups and spoons / Once made of silver." The imagery of the moon and the comic scripts suggest a longing for simpler times when imagination and wonder could still provide solace from the anxieties of the present. However, the singer's fears are left unheard and uncomprehended, leading them to retreat into their own world of "talking to the walls."


The titular character, Mrs. Marple, seems to be an imaginary friend or a symbol of a bygone era, as the singer bids her goodbye and prepares to "fly off where eagles stare." The theme of departure and disconnection is further emphasized by the line "Compromise a settle / For the trailer money buys," implying that material possessions and social conformity cannot provide true fulfillment. The song ends with a sense of resignation and acceptance, as the singer acknowledges that life doesn't always care and bids farewell to the listener as well.
