Beth Orton (born Elizabeth Caroline Orton, 14 December 1970) is a BRIT Award–winning English singer-songwriter, known for her 'folktronica' sound, which mixes elements of folk and electronica. She was initially recognised for her collaborations with William Orbit and the Chemical Brothers in the mid 1990s. However, these were not Orton's first recordings. She had released a solo album, Superpinkymandy, in 1993. Since the album was only released in Japan, it went largely unnoticed by international audiences. Her second solo album, Trailer Park, garnered much critical acclaim in 1996. Orton developed a devoted audience with the release of the albums Central Reservation (1999) and the 2002 UK top 10 album, Daybreaker. In her 2006 release, Comfort of Strangers, s… more »

Magpie, magpie, I stand here watching the world go by
I wonder do you ever question why?
I’m still here wondering what you knowing
I’ve seen more everyday than I could dream
I don’t mind no what I tell you
I don’t mind no what I say
I don’t mind no what we’re saying
But it’s a hard hard fight
A hard, hard fight
And I’m turning this one in,
I’m turning this one in
I won’t turn back, I’ve seen the sign
I won’t turn back not for anyone
I’ve 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 didn’t take I don’t think you mean quite what you say
I’m hoping you’re the friend you claim to be
Oh crow, crow, will you tell me ṗlease,
Tell me please what you know
You’ve 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 we’re saying friend
But it’s a hard hard fight
A hard, hard fight
And I’m turning this one in,
I’m turning this one in
I won’t turn back, I’ve seen the sign
I won’t turn back not for anyone
I’ve 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 won’t be here anymore
Silence when I won’t be here anymore
Silence when I won’t be here anymore
Silence when I won’t 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
