Magpie Lyrics - Beth Orton

Magpie, magpie, I stand here watching the world go by 

I wonder do you ever question why? 

Im still here wondering what you knowing 

Ive seen more everyday than I could dream 

I dont mind no what I tell you 

I dont mind no what I say 

I dont mind no what were saying 

But its a hard hard fight 

A hard, hard fight 

And Im turning this one in, 

Im turning this one in 

I wont turn back, Ive seen the sign 

I wont turn back not for anyone 

Ive seen the sign, and I know what is mine 

Eh what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like 

Eh what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like 

You didnt take I dont think you mean quite what you say 

Im hoping youre the friend you claim to be 

Oh crow, crow, will you tell me lease, 

Tell me please what you know 

Youve seen more of the book than I could dream 

I do not know what to tell you 

I do not know what to say 

I do not know what were saying friend 

But its a hard hard fight 

A hard, hard fight 

And Im turning this one in, 

Im turning this one in 

I wont turn back, Ive seen the sign 

I wont turn back not for anyone 

Ive seen the sign, and I know I have faith 

Eh what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like 

Eh what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like 

Eh, eh yeah 

Silence when I wont be here anymore 

Silence when I wont be here anymore 

Silence when I wont be here anymore 

Silence when I wont be here anymore 

what a lie, what a lie, what a lie 

what a lie, what a lie, what a lie 

what a lie, what a lie, what a lie 

what a lie, what a lie, what a lie 

what a lie, what a lie, what a lie
