the magnetic fields - 100,000 fireflies
I have a mandolin
I play it all night long
It makes me want to kill myself
I also have a dobro
Made in some mountain range
Sounds like a mountain range in love
But when I turn up the tone
On my electric guitar
I'm afraid of the dark without you close to me
I went out to the forest and caught
A hundred thousand fireflies
As they ricochet round the room
They remind me of your starry eyes
Someone else's might not have made me so sad
But this is the worst night I ever had
'cause I'm afraid of the dark without you close to me
You won't be happy with me,
But give me one more chance
You won't be happy anyway
Why do we still live here
In this repulsive town?
All our friends are in New York
Why do we keep shrieking,
when we mean soft things?
We should be whispering all the time...
the magnetic fields - a chicken with its head cut off
Eligible, not too stupid,
intelligible and cute as Cupid,
knowledgeable, but not always right,
salvageable and free for the night
Well my heart's running round
like a chicken with its head cut off
all around the barnyard falling in and out of love
The poor thing's blind as a bat getting up, falling down, getting up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off? (Whoa, Nellie)
My wife doesn't understand me
Many dozens hope to land me
I'm for free love, and I'm in free fall
This could be love or nothing at all...
We don't have to be stars exploding in the night
or electric eels under the covers
We don't have to be anything quite so unreal
let's just be lovers... (It ain't pretty)
the magnetic fields - a pretty girl is like
A pretty girl is like a minstrel show It makes you laugh
It makes you cry You go It just isn't the same on radio
It's all about the makeup and the dancing and the Oh,
a pretty girl is like a violent crime If you do it wrong
you could do time but if you do it right it is sublime
I'm so in love with you, girl, It's like I'm on the moon
I can't really breathe, but I feel lighter A melody is like
a pretty girl Who cares if it's the dumbest in the world
It's all about the way that it unfurls A pretty girl is like
a pretty girl
the magnetic fields - abigail, belle of kilronan
Abigail can you feel my heart in the palm of your hand
and do you understand why I can't stay Abigail an evil wind is blowing
through the land and they need every man to drive it away
When I come home if I come home you'll be a grown woman
When I come home if I come home don't be alone, Abigial, belle of Kilronan
Abigail 's gonna be the beauty of County Galway and she will live always
in a world of love Abigail I'm off to the war but you can be sure
I will know you're what I'm fighting for...
the magnetic fields - absolutely cuckoo
Don't fall in love with me yet
We've only recently met
True I'm in love with you
but you might decide I'm a nut
Give me a week or two
to go absolutely cuckoo
then, when you see your error,
then, you can flee in terror
like everybody else does
I only tell you this cause
I'm easy to get rid of
but not if you fall in love
Know now that I'm on the make
and if you make a mistake
my heart will certainly break
I'll have to jump in a lake
and all my friends will blame you
There's no telling what they'll do
It's only fair to tell you
I'm absolutely cuckoo
the magnetic fields - acoustic guitar
acoustic guitar, i'm gonna make you a star
get your picture all over the world
acoustic guitar, you can have your own car
just bring me back my girl
she always loved the sound of your strum
you made her think maybe I wasn't so dumb
she tends to faint at the sound of a drum, cause she's folk
so play and maybe she'll come
acoustic guitar, how lovely you are
with your inlays of mother of pearl
be a good guitar and you can go far
just bring me back my girl
she always said that you were the one
that could make her move her cute little bum
you understand where shes coming from
which I obviously dont
or she wouldnt be gone
acoustic guitar, if you think I play hard
well you could have belonged to steve earle, or charo or gwar,
I could sell you tommorow
so bring me back my girl
you better bring me back my girl
the magnetic fields - alien being
you talk a lot about nothing at all
watch t.v. shows about nothing at all
think a lot about nothing at all
listen to songs about nothing at all
you have no feelings
I think you are an alien being
you won't let me in
I think you are an alien being
you write the laws about nothing at all
make 3d films about nothing at all
stage happenings about nothing at all
sound and light shows about nothing at all
you complain about nothing at all
go insane about nothing at all
the magnetic fields - all i want to know
all I want to know is do you still want me?
and, if not so, why do you still haunt me
like a song, like a ghost, all night long?
that's almost all I want to know
all I want to know is can I still need you?
are we still go, or did I misread you?
I won't settle for less
and that's not yet, I'll confess, all I want to know
I want to know now, on your mother's grave
is there nothing, nohow, left to save?
be brave, tell me tonight, or not at all
we don't have to fight
I can make last call, and play a little pinball
all I want to know is, you don't, do you?
call me slow, but I can't see through you
count to ten, tell me then
will you love me again is all I want to know...
the magnetic fields - all my little words
You are a splendid butterfly
It is your wings that make you beautiful
and I could make you fly away
but I could never make you stay
You said you were in love with me
Both of us know that that's impossible
and I could make you rue the day
but I could never make you stay
Not for all the tea in China
not if I could sing like a bird
not for all North Carolina
not for all my little words
not if I could write for you
the sweetest song you ever heard
It doesn't matter what I do
not for all my little words
Now that you've made me want to die
you tell me that you're unboyfriendable
and I could make you pay and pay
but I could never make you stay...
the magnetic fields - all the umbrellas in london
if i wept through the night,
i could feel alright
it could make a good song or something
i've been trying to give
myself reasons to live
but i really can't think of one thing
i drive around
i walk around in circles
cause i got no sense of direction
i guess i've got no sense at all
all the umbrellas in london couldn't stop this rain
(this rain, this rain)
and all the dope in new york couldn't kill this pain
and all the money in tokyo couldn't make me stay
all the umbrellas in london couldn't stop this rain
i dont cry anymore
i walk out of the door
and i usually keep on walking
i sit in a bar
where the cocktails are
but i really don't feel like talking
i ride around
and let the darkness fall
cause i got no sense of perfection
and nothing makes much sense at all
all the umbrellas in london couldn't stop this rain
(this rain, this rain)
and all the dope in new york couldn't kill this pain
and all the money in tokyo couldn't make me stay
all the umbrellas in london couldn't stop this rain
the magnetic fields - all you ever do is walk away
sad as a painted clown
a beautiful boy in an ugly town
but when your circus closes down
don't walk away from me
you've been asleep too long
the birds are bruises in the dawn
the pounds of flesh between us stretch as far as you can see
but all you ever do is walk away
and I know if you'd only go slow
you could see what it means
to be making the scene with me
but all you ever do is walk away
and I think if you tried
you could find a little time
for the life I can see in your eyes
don't go
sometimes you just explode
and no one alive can break your code
you have a language of your own
an unconnected road
the people you called your friends
the places you won't go again
the decades lost in finding them
you'll have to let them go
the magnetic fields - andrew in drag
A pity she does not exist
A shame he's not a fag
The only girl I ever loved was
Andrew in drag
There is no hope of love for me
From here on I'm a stag
The only girl I'll ever love is
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Yeah
I don't know why I even went
It's really not my bag
Just thought it might be funny to see
Andrew in drag
The moment he walked on the stage
My tail began to wag
Wag like a little wiener dog for
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Yeah
I've always been a ladies' man
And I don't have to brag
But I become a momma's boy for
Andrew in drag
I'd sign away my trust fund
I would even sell the jag
If I could spend my misspent youth with
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Andrew in drag
Yeah
So stick him in a dress and
He's the only boy I'd shag
The only boy I'd anything is
Andrew in drag
I'll never see that girl again
He did it as a gag
I'll pine away forevermore for
Andrew in drag
the magnetic fields - asleep and dreaming
I've seen you laugh at nothing at all I've seen you sadly weeping
The sweetest thing I ever saw was you asleep and dreaming
I've seen you when your ship came in and when you train was leaving
The sweetest thing I ever saw was you asleep and dremaing
Well you may not be beautiful but it's not for me to judge
I don't know if you're beautiful because I love you too much...
the magnetic fields - babies falling
where the workers stand in querulous rows awaiting dislocation
I will be there too
when you're cashing in your food stamps
when you're sleeping in a cattle train
I'll be with you
pushing up against the ticket counter window
face against the glass
bleeding from the waist
and kissing to be chaste
it is said that those who will not rest
have been cursed to tramp
like soldiers through the marshes
or that blessed are the ones who leave the stage
like babies falling fast asleep
so I twice am cursed and twice am stuck
affixed to this corner of the earth
that old river keeps on rolling
but the old man doesn't see it
he just stands there with his eyes closed
asking: "where'd you go? Where'd you go?"
so whererever you may sleep tonight
be it bed or bedrock, home, or open field:
when your breathing slows and your eyes are closed
and you begin to yield
then whatever you have taken as your pillow
may it serve as mine as well
underneath the weeping willow I will wait for you forever
my eyes forever closed
asking: "where'd you go? where'd you go?"
the magnetic fields - beach a boop boop
every day and every night
we are really outta sight
frankie's here, so's annette
we're having fun, looking wet
we're at the beach, we're having fun
we're always surfing, dusk till dawn
it's so hard to keep our swimsuits on
I'm gonna get me a groovy tan
so's I can get me a groovy man!
