Magpie

MAGPIE
R.HUDSON

EVERYDAY I LIVE A LIE
WATCHING LOVE JUST PASS ME BY
IM GETTING DRUNK MOST EVERY NIGHT
TO FORGET THAT THINGS ARENT QUITE SO RIGHT

FRIENDS AND LOVE JUST COME AND GO
TURN ON THE SMILES PUT ON A SHOW
THEY SAY THEY CARE BUT DO THEY KNOW
BEHIND THE SMILES THIS MAN IS LOW

CHORUS
AND NOW IM LIVIN' LIFE
LIVIN' LIFE JUST LIKE A MAGPIE
A LONELY LIFE, BLACK AND WHITE JUST LIKE A MAGPIE

THE COLOURS OF LIFE JUST FADE AWAY
NOW THAT MY LIFES A DISMAL GREY
I FIND MYSELF IN DISARRAY
NOW THAT MY LOVE HAS FLOWN AWAY

AND EVEN THOUGH I LIVE EACH DAY
WHEN LOVE APPEARS I RUN AWAY
FOR NOW I KNOW MY LOVE WAS TRUE
FOR ONLY ONE AND THAT WAS YOU

REPEAT CHORUS INTO GUITAR SOLO

TO LIVE THIS LIFE WITHOUT YOU IS A LIFE OF SOLITUDE
WHEN LOVE APPEARS I TRY TO HIDE
FOR NOW I KNOW IM LIVIN' LIFE

JUST LIKE A MAGPIE X 2
GUITAR SOLO
JUST LIKE A MAGPIE X 2 TO FIN
