Space 03:28
What do you want from me, man? You're asking for a little too much What do you want from me, man? Everything I do is for you, it's for you I wanna go to the trappist system I wanna live in outer space I want go to the trappist system Gotta go, gotta get away What do they do in the Netherlands? Socialism's working for them What will they do with our underclass? Move them on and hide them from view, and from you I wanna go to the trappist system I wanna live in outer space I want go to the trappist system Gotta go, gotta get away I want to see a white dwarf I want to know how it all ends Will time stop and pass us by? Or will we travel back in space and time? Capitalistic, Economic, Apocalyptic, Sanctioned States

Privilege 03:50
I walk down tree-lined streets I'm not walking on no muddy reeds Privilege Privilege My body's rights are my own It's my choice and mine alone Privilege privilege Education 101 My parents paid a tiny sum Privilege Privilege We know how to pay the bills We're not worried about our next meals Privilege, middle class privilege What gives us What gives us the right I grew up with a roof on my head I grew up with parent's that cared Privilege Privilege All my friends vote the Greens All my friends know what trans means Privilege Privilege He walks home late at night He's not worried about his shadow line Privilege, male privilege My lips are full and my skin is white No one's questioning my god damn right to be here To be here What gives us What gives us the right What gives us the god damn right We all have the right to be Safe and not scared to dream You call yourself family Why can't you, why can't you see

I've got nothing left to lose, and You've got everything to fear, and I want to take everything you say and throw it all away Don't tell me it's easy, it's easy You can't see what it's like for me, no Don't tell me it's easy, it's easy You can't see what it's like to be me Nothing's black and white you see And we're all raised with our prejudices, and I am scared of everything, and You keep checking your phone but nobody's calling It's after three, you should be sleeping But the words she said they're stuck in your head Don't tell me it's easy, it's easy You can't see what it's like for me, no Don't tell me it's easy, it's easy You can't see what it's like to be me I can't take it, I can't take it I can't take it, I can't take it anymore Anymore No I can't take it, I can't take it Don't tell me my stories, don't tell Don't tell me no don't tell me my stories

Cooper 02:17
He's got style, he's got grace, he can make my body race But I don't want him chasing after me I don't want to be around it, I don't want to see you do it. Why's there always something wrong with them. I don't want to hear your stories, you don't get to say what's boring What I do is only up to me. No I won't clean it for you, I am not your fucking mother Why's there always something wrong with them? Yes I'll always be this selfish. I like me more than you. What the fuck is really wrong with me? Someone broke me years ago and I can't seem to let it go, What the fuck is really wrong with me? I don't want to be I don't want to be with anyone but you Cooper Cooper
5.
I'm chasing something, not sure what it is Chasing something, in the back of my head Chasing something, not sure what you said Chase it away again Everyday I wake up guilty And everyday I fight down feelings And Shannon tells me to relax but I can't help myself
6.
I Say Yes 01:39
I say yes and you say not now I say go and you say turn around This can't be on your terms only but I don't like to be left lonely I'm not normal and I'm not sweet I can't live inside of your dreams I won't drive your sporty car I won't pay your bourgeois mortgage What's that what's that I see Are you looking are you looking at me What's that what's that I see Don't look, don't look, don't touch me
7.
Press me like a flower between the sheets I'll curl up and I'll dry in the heat Read the spaces between the lines The stories different in my mind What did you say when you called my name I couldn't see you through the Whitby haze One kiss from you and she's falling deeper Lucy's always falling deep I'm outta my mind I can't describe This feeling inside I'm outta my mind Bless it be the tiny fruit It bruises easy but it knows the truth Nothing's real and nothing's permanent Everything's just playing a part So I could just lie in bed all day, hide from those feelings and I'll hide from the pain Nothing's real and nothing's permanent Everyone's just playing a part I'm outta my mind I can't describe This feeling inside I'm outta my mind I don't want to be pretty or nice Don't call me pretty or nice

about

Above the understated rhythms of drummer James Mclean (The Tropes, Junior Fiction), guitar and bass duties in Magpie are split between Jesse (Pioneers of Good Science, Ghost Like Beast) and Leish (Ghost Dick), who takes on most of the vocals, and tells all of the tales. There is lots to find here for such a young band: the 3 friends started jamming it out in James' band/backroom late 2016, and they quickly developed their own brand of loud garage punk rock, paired with witty banter.
