Magpie Songtext
von Hugh Coltman

New shoes upon your feet
Your hair looks good enough to eat
Until you hit the street
Finally, your yesterday′s me
So you run, your pockets ringing
See the magpie up in the tree
Singing sha la la la la lay
You're gonna end up just like me

Magpie, look and see
You got something in your tree for me
Magpie, don′t be down
No one's gonna turn you from upside down

Just when you thought it was safe to smile
They're gonna tell you that your teeth are wide enough to display
So you close your mouth and say
I′m a receiving end again


Magpie, look and see
You got something in your tree for me
Magpie, don′t be down
No one's gonna turn you from upside down

Them is us and us is them
Just a little compromise

Love is a four-letter word
It′ll sell anything from sublime to absurd
Little lady with eyes of death
Looks even better when she's in her underwear

Magpie, look and see
You got something in your tree for me
Magpie, don′t be down
No one's gonna turn you from upside down

Upside down, oh oh oh
Upside down
Upside down
Upside down (upside down)
Upside down (upside down)
No one′s gonna turn you from upside down
