Goalposts 03:44
lyrics
What am I waiting on? I’m so tired of working things through in my head How long can these things remain unsaid? What am I paying off? Am I paying some boys debt who I’ve never known I’ve never met Because you’ve been paying some girl’s debt? You worked so hard but you haven’t got there yet. We’ve all got debts of our own And we’ve all spent time on our own With our horrors on show. Maybe I have misunderstood You know I’d pay If only I could. So why are you baying for blood?

Rudiments 03:28
lyrics
They’ve put you up So I’ll pull you from the brink You can hold my hand But I won’t tell you what I think There’s things you don’t need to hear Like the strings I pull to get you near They are synonymous With my underhand sense of style You are testament to all that is right You are misery’s greatest blight! Please don’t say ‘You don’t know.’ What’s going on?

Truth Man 03:38
lyrics
A truth becomes ‘the truth’ When a lie gets set in stone ‘The truth’ set me on the sandy land So on this lie I built a home Which you stand there and admire. I never quite caught your eye But now you search for mine. I needed you You needed me Scrubbed from your memory. We must live in love as freemen Or see us die by suicide If an obituary was needed That’s a history I can write Before all your friends and loved ones Have me up against the wall I needed you You needed me Scrubbed from your memory. Ain’t never been a fool Didn’t ever not believe In the Truth Man telling a lie. I needed you You needed me Scrubbed from your memory.

about

"In the U.S., fans of late 80′s college radio (e.g., La’s, The Ocean Blue) will really love this EP, a fun and promising start for this upstart band."

www.thedadada.com

"The ‘Goalposts EP’ is a fine example of indie guitar pop. It’s full of sweeping guitars, soaring vocals and thoughtful harmonies. The choruses are strong throughout and in places infectious.

These tracks clearly show that Magpie Instinct have a large bank of collective ideas and an ear for how a pop song should sound."
