[Chorus]
I saw two magpies
A girl and a boy
One for sorrow, two for joy
With no salutes, I move away
And long to face, face, face
Face down fear, ooh

[Chorus]
I saw two magpies
There was a girl and a boy
One for sorrow, two for joy
Content to cry, no more to lie
I move away
And lie in truth, cha

[Chorus]
Look, two magpies
Ooh, a girl and a boy
One for sorrow, two for joy
Three for a girl and four for a boy
I saw two magpies
Two for joy

[Outro]
Content to cry
No more to lie
In truth with you
To face down fear
Content to cry
No more to lie
No more to lie
And face down fear
Doo doo

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
