Red Hot Chili Peppers release new 7" single, 7 more to come! Magpie's On Fire, Victorian Machinery

This is the 2nd set of upcoming singles which was scrapped from the I'm With You album released in 2011. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have been a very prolific band, making music since 1984. As a nice treat, the band has been releasing a series of 7" singles, each containing two songs from the I'm With You sessions. This is the 2nd one featuring the songs Magpie's On Fire and Victorian Machinery. The previous single included the songs Strange Man and Long Progression. Magpie's On Fire starts off very mellow and picks up with nice harmonies and a slow tempo. It sounds like something off of 1999's Californication. The other song on this release is Victorian Machinery. Victorian Machinery is more of a rocking tune, but with great melodies and a nice rocking chorus. The next set of songs to be released will be Never is A Long Time and Love of Your Life which will come out on October 2. The band is currently working on their follow up to 2011's I'm With You album. Drummer Chad Smith spoke with Billboard and said ""We're just always trying to come up with new stuff; usually the latest and greatest is what we use, but you never know," he said.

Magpie's On Fire:

Lyrics:

Magpies on fire
making love like little
worms out on the porch can
leave the medicine
oh well I’m game,
for anything at all
Scarecrows a liar
spends the year alone
no one checked it out
to see if it was real
sold you the moon
and now it’s time to fall
all in all it’s like the
bird who’s trapped alone inside the cage
love
what more do you want?
how much more can you take?
I love my mistakes
I’ve been here before
all in all it’s just
a call of something wise beyond your room
there’s a changing of a major chord
your minor threat will do, love
my gun misfired
shot myself instead i guess
i always knew id be the one to lose
last scream dont slane
time to make a move
what more do you want?
how much more can you take?
I love my mistakes
I’ve been here before
all in all it’s like the
bird trapped inside the cage
love
A bird bout half your age, girl
a bird who’s never really here to say
what more do you want?
how much more can you take?
I love my mistakes
I’ve been here before
least of all she’s like
a bird who’s now been
freed from someones cage

Victorian Machinery:

lyrics:

Jaded
You’re my victorian machinery
Leave yourself to lie
Later
Your tender shape is pinning like the scenery
Ride you like a bike
You be the sailing baby, I’ll be the rudder
We could make it all in
‘Till it turns into butter
I saw your face
A seminal pleasure, I will love you forever
When I heeded your call in every heavy endeavour
I’ll keep your place
Jaded
Coming down the mouth, you’re like a buffalo
in your eyes
Crazy
But then again, I’ll cook you like your you know
Makes up for her size
You be the sailing baby, I’ll be the rudder
We could make it all in
‘Till it turns into butter
I saw your face
A seminal pleasure, I will feel you forever
When I heeded your call in every heavy endeavour
I’ll keep your place
Be yourself
When I
You be the shark (shack)
and baby I’ll be the desert
There is nothing to like
when (or “and”) there is nothing to measure
it’s all our space
whoooooooooooooooh
You are my victorian machinery
nah nah nah nah nah
Jaded
Make a fist and knock me on the mood again
Leave yourself to lie
Later
Make me feel like I want more than you again
Rock me like the vibe
Crazy
Sing along just like they do in Budapest
on the rise
You be the shark (shack)
and baby I’ll be the desert
There is nothing to like
when there is nothing to measure
it’s all our space
