Sting - What Say You Meg? Lyrics
What say you, Meg?
There's a house on the hill that's come off for sale
It's a place I have known since I was a lad
And it needs a lick of paint and a hammer and a nail
I climb up the hill with the evening news
I've been sent from the town to deliver
And I stand in the porch and gaze at the views
'Til my eyes are bruised by the sunset's glow on the river
I'd imagine a girl who would share my life
As dreamers all tend to do
And the face I always conjured up
Was no one else but you
What say you, Meg?
What's this story's ending?
I want you, Meg, by my side
What's the use, Meg,
To gaze at a view on your own?
For rich or for poorer
In sickness, in health
I will see this through, Meg
No chance of this ending
Such a view, Meg
As we gaze from a house on the hill
To love and to cherish
To have and to hold
I'm a hard man to beat
If I may be so bold
And I promise it all by the sweat of my brow
Tell me what say you, Meg, now?
What say you, Meg?
How's this story shaping?
I want you, Meg
As we gaze from a house on the hill
For rich or for poorer
In sickness, in health
I'll be hard to replace
If I say so myself
And I promise it all by the sweat of my brow
Tell me what say you, Meg, now?

Sting What Say You Meg? Comments
ICREDIBLE STING INCREDIBLE
There's so much depth to this play. A true underrated classic imho. I hope more people see this as it perfectly snapshots complex emotions relating to escaping small towns and father-son relationships.
I want Sting to meet Jesus & be saved so he'll stop fidgeting his hands on his pant legs. His new age ways are eating him away as his time is running out. LORD, PLEASE show Him Your AWESOME TRUTH & TRUE peace & Salvation. He's clearly humbled as he ages (not like the 80s & 90s). I like him much better in humility. I hope/pray he makes it BEFORE it's too late. Blessings in Jesus!🙋
💔👣👣💝💖
I love this song so much.
Przepiękne. Perełka. Sting jest jak król Midas - czego nie tknie, zamienia w złoto.
dakujem Pan Sting
Thank You Mr STING !!!
estas llorando por ella ..
"vas a construir una fortaleza alrededor de "su corazon"..💖
Every break you take..
"No te das cuenta que me perteneces?"..💌
"Then the man said:
"This is at las bone of my bones
and flesh of my fhes.
This one will be called
Woman ,
Because from man this one was taken" ( Genesis 2:23) 📖 💖🌘🌄
Like a story....
Absolutely perfect. A moving performance.
One of my favorites by Sting
How was this not on the album? I don't know.
As far as I know, it was only written after the album was already in production or even released. During this very concert where this clip was taken from, Sting explains that on the first draft he wrote the song "Practical arrangement" for Gideon's rival Arthur. Then the entire Arthur character was removed from the play and replaced by a younger man, and "What say you, Meg" is the song that came in for this new character to sing to Meg. There is a studio version by Sting of this song on the CD that the Broadway Cast of The Last Ship recorded, as a kind of bonus track.
Hello Sting ... I was dreaming but you realy got this kind of muse of ours !!! Don't worry about the all world but ... There's allways messages in bottles in paradises that we're always loving , and that is all !! Good job !!
alqum br??
Eae. Tá atrás de letra ou cifra?
Thank you Sting for continuing to create beauty with the help of some friends. This is amazing on headphones. I like the key change moment. The whole song is perfect.
Love his Geordie thoughts of his boyhood and not
ashamed to show it.

Oh, how gifted you are Sting! What a great artist you are! Thank you for sharing with us.
Just beautiful !!
:) Nem szólom Meg. :) Kedvelem. :)
What say you Reggie?
Such a beautiful song. It fell flat in "The Last Ship" for some reason...maybe because it wasn't Sting singing it? Either way...I just love this video and the way Sting sings it.
This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard!It really hits the heart strings .Sting has the most moving voice so simple and yet the meaning is there .I am in my 50s and so wish I had discovered his beautiful voice with such sensitive accompaniest .
