about

One For Sorrow, is based on a very old nursery rhyme about magpies. The rhyme has its origins in ornithomancy superstitions connected with magpies, considered a bird of ill omen in some cultures, and in Britain, at least as far back as the early sixteenth century.
I have taken the poem and used it this song as an omen about the music industry.

lyrics

One for sorrow,
Two for joy, 
Three for a girl, 
Four for a boy, 
Five for silver, 
And six for gold,
Seven for a secret that can never to be told

Chorus
One for sorrow
Two for mirth
Three for a funeral

And four for birth


One for sorrow,
Two for mirth, 
Three for a funeral, 
Four for birth
, Five for heaven
 Six for hell
 Seven for the devil, his very own self
