Our first ever album...
...didn't come without some trouble...
Sugar Rush
THE PRIMARY YEARS
This is a collection of our “early” work. Some of it is quite embarrassing, like the time when we were told to take down our song ‘Peppa Pig’ from iTunes because we used their TV character’s copyrighted name. But we didn’t let that stop us, so we rename it ‘Pep Up Pig’. Indeed, it cheered us up, specially when we saw our names all over national newspapers, including The Telegraph, Daily Mail and everywhere on the internet (try searching ‘Magician’s Nephew Band Peppa Pig’ and you’ll see…)
We don’t sing much about ‘Ice Cream’ these days, but this track got us in the St Albans International Film Festival (we entered the music video category) and gave us one of our first gigs. Talking first gigs, we really rocked the Relish Burgers Restaurant, the poor customers couldn’t talk or celebrate their birthdays properly because of the “noise”, but we learned a valuable rock’n’roll lesson – have attitude and always give 110% to the crowd, even if they can only handle about 23%...
We hope you enjoy the early sounds of the Magician’s Nephew Band, we know these songs will come back to haunt us when we are older, but hey, you’ve got to start somewhere…

THE PRIMARY YEARS
Ice Cream Lyrics
Chorus
Ice Cream, can I have my ice cream
You promised me my ice cream
I’m crazy for my ice cream
Can I have my ice cream
Verse 1
Done the times tables
Practiced all my spellings
Wrote about the weekend
Sailed through my readings
Battled through my scales
On the black recorder
Got our neighbours growling
And the dogs all howling
Bridge
How can you put me through this ordeal
I’ll shout and scream but I will not kneel
I have done all you asked me to do
And now is the time to get what I’m due
Chorus
Verse 2
Tidied up my Lego
Put away the teddies
Stopped the football bashing
And the window smashing
Gobbled up the spinach
And the mashed potato
Broccoli was bitter
But I am not a quitter
Bridge
Chorus
Ice Cream, can I have my ice cream
You promised me my ice cream
I’m crazy for my ice cream
Can I have my Ice cream
Super Heroes Lyrics
Super heroes flying all around
Helping people on the ground
Super heroes flying in the air
Can’t you see them all up there
Super heroes we need you?
There’s a robbery at the Zoo
The tigers are missing and the leopards too
The next ones to go are the Kangoroos
Super heroes flying all around
Helping people on the ground
Super heroes flying in the air
Can’t you see them all up there
This is not a silly prank
There’s a riot at the bank
It is the Joker and his gang
Come and help we heard a big bang
The situation is looking dire
The council library is on fire
All the flames are getting higher
Please come now it is our desire
Bed Time Lyrics
I don’t wanna go to bed You don’t wanna go to bed
We don’t wanna go oh oh oh Oh
Mamma tell me why I need to sleep so much
can’t you step aside let me be the judge
If I could choose I play all day
Can’t you let me have my way
I don’t wanna go to bed You don’t wanna go to bed
We don’t wanna go oh oh oh Oh
Now I feel it’s time for me to decide
Everyday the same I want to run and hide
You know it’s time I’m not a child
I’ll stay up and I won’t go wild
I don’t wanna go to bed
Got the jeebies in my head
Every night when you call
I’m not tired at all
I don’t wanna to go bed
And your face is turning red
Every night when you call
Feel I’m climbing the wall
Monday Mornings Lyrics
Another Monday morning and I’m going to school
My books in the bag and I feel like a mule
The schedule for the day will be heavy and tough
Sure by lunch time it will be quite enough
I can’t multiply and my tables are wrong
Doesn’t make a difference even singing a song
Division and addition are all over the place
In geometry my angles cause acute headache
But it is cool I can play guitar
It is all good I want to be a star
It’s OK we’re gonna make a stand (with our rock’n roll band)
We’ll be fine you’ll be my biggest fan
Back into the class we just had our break
History again oh for goodness sake
Henry and the wives are the topic on show
Naughty Anne Boleyn is the only one I know
Why can’t we study our future instead
Rumours from the past never stick in my head
Grammar and spellings doesn’t make any sense
Future’s not simple and the past is all tense
But it is cool I can play the guitar
It is all good I want to be a star
It’s OK we’re gonna make a stand (with our rock’n roll band)
We’ll be fine you’ll be my biggest fan
I’m gonna play the guitar In my rock’n’roll band
I’m gonna make it far I’m gonna be a star
Peppa Pig Lyrics
My friends have lost their faith
They will scream it to your face
In the playground of our school
Peppa Pig’s no longer cool
We all bought your DVDs
You were the greatest on TV
We had so much joy
You were my favorite toy
Peppa Pig Peppa Pig
Why aren’t you funny anymore
Peppa Pig Peppa Pig
You made us laugh so much before
Peppa Pig I’m over you I’m in year 4
Peppa Pig I just don’t love you any more
I don’t mean to be cruel
But you’re not coming with me to school
The times we shared were fine
Now we need to draw the line
I know this must be hard
And I mean no disregard
Let’s go our separate ways
You and me were just a phase
