There's A Magpie Finally got together with Leon to record some new songs. This is the first one (I've got quite a bit of work to do!).
Another "bird" song - we posted one about a White Cockatoo a while ago.
This one about being replaced by a new lover.
Leon lyric & vocals.
I played some guitar and did the arrangement.

There’s A MagpieThere’s a magpie
Strutting around my yard
For all the world as if he owns it
There’s a new guy
Sleeping in your bed
For all the world as if he owns it
He’s got his arm around your shoulder
As if to say ‘she is mine’
I wonder if I wiped that smile off his face
Would a judge consider it a crime?
There’s a big hole
In the middle of my life
That once was full of you
I’m sinking
There’s a hole between my feet
Got no rudder, got no crew
He’s got his jeep parked in your garage
His ride-on mower’s in your shed
I’ve got your image imprisoned in my heart
Your voice is trapped inside my head
There’s a black crow
Crying like a lost soul
I guess I know just how he feels
There’s a new world
One without you in it
I don’t see how that can be real
You’ve got his picture on your sideboard
Where that one of us used to be
I didn’t think you would replace me
So quickly or so easily
There’s a black crow
Crying like a lost soul
I guess I know just how he feels
Yeah, there’s a black crow
Crying like a lost soul
I guess I know just how he feels
