Magpies and Eccles Cakes

Magpies and Eccles cakes
 Sob 'til you get the shakes
 Or your mood is lifting now
 And your head is spinning round
 Roundabout and down
 Milk and sugar in your tea
 Or a pint sounds good to me
 Don't you miss what's left behind?
 Do you know what you might find on the other side?
 Magpies and Eccles cakes
 What a difference the day makes
 Moss covering the flagstones now
 And the sky is dark
 And the night is long
 I fly pipelines teal and gold
 Hi-fi sightlines wet and cold
 I fight deadlines bought and sold
 I fly Magpies teal and gold
 Magpies and Eccles cakes
 You leave and that's the breaks
 But the planes are turning round
 And the world keeps spinning round
 And your head keeps spinning round...
