Seven Mary Three – Margeret Lyrics 2 years ago
@[jon1079769:46886]
It's not the clearest of narratives, but the opening line -

"Margaret came to me" was all he said

- appears to be the confession of someone else to the storyteller here. That being "all he said", the rest must be from the storyteller, or Margaret, when so quoted. At first, I thought the man in the opening line might have been Margaret's father come to shotgun their romance to a tidy ending (one way or the other), but then the lines -

She don't care he's ten years older than me
As long as they're together happily (She says they will)

- don't make any sense. So, I'm thinking that Margaret did have her relationship with the storyteller, but as the storyteller kept silent every time she said, "Mary me", and Margaret wanting a house with 15 kids, it appears she hooked up with someone even older (10 years older per the lyrics) with whom she believes will fulfill her dreams.

As creepy and otherwise weird as it is, that is the only way I can fathom any rational course of events. Regardless, it is still just a song, and disjointed, obscure lines don't have to necessarily be obviously coherent.
