Lyrics
On the Ferris wheel Looking out on Coney Island Under more stars than There are prostitutes in Thailand Our hair in the air Our lips blue from cotton candy When we kiss, it feels Like a flying saucer landing
And I can't sleep 'Cause you got strange powers You're in my dreams Strange powers
In Las Vegas where The electric bills are staggering The decor hog wild And the entertainment saccharin What a golden age What a time of right and reason The consumer's king And unhappiness is treason
And I can't sleep 'Cause you got strange powers You're in my dreams Strange powers
The Sun falls down like honey The Moon pours down like mercury The stars fall down like money And you come back to me And I can't sleep 'Cause you got strange powers You're in my dreams Strange powers And I can't sleep 'Cause you got strange powers You're in my dreams Strange powers
[Verse 1] / On the Ferris wheel / Looking out on Coney Island / Under more stars than / There are prostitutes in Thailand / Our hair in the air / Our lips blue from cotton candy
[Verse 1] / I read your manifestoes and your strange religious tracts / You took me to your library and kissed me in the stacks / [Chorus] / Planets crash, the world goes nova
[Verse 1] / You were mean to me / And broke my heart / Now you've gone away / And we're apart / But I've got a special machine / To take me where / Things turned out differently
[Verse 1] / 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
[Verse 1] / You know the rain is gone / When the sky is full of dust / And the tears are gone / When your eyes are red as rust / And it just rains because it can / And you just cry
The final track of the Magnetic Fields' fourth album, Holiday, “Take Ecstasy with Me” is a bittersweet song about a homosexual relationship whose problems are temporarily solved by
[Verse 1] / I'll be the madness / That carries you away / I'll be the sadness / To light your darkest day / I'll be the desert island / Where you can be free / I'll be the vulture
You didn't have to say that I'm no good / Cause I know / There's no point pointing pistols at me now / I'll just go / I never should have asked you to be kind / But I'm slow / And
Many of the songs on 69 Love Songs feature very sparse or limited instrumentation. Track 10 of volume one is such an example. Songwriter Stephin Merritt sings a somber poem over
[Verse 1] / I saw you standing at the airport / With your chihuahua in your hand / Crying on the moving sidewalk / On your way to Disneyland / [Chorus] / And the flowers she sent
“I Don’t Want to Get Over You” is the much-beloved track 6 from Vol. 1 of The Magnetic Fields’s 69 Love Songs. Featuring a full band, Merritt sings lyrics that nail the sensation
Track 9 of volume one of The Magnetic Fields’s magnum opus 69 Love Songs features a very lo-fi synth-heavy composition detailing the carnal desires a man has for a lost loved one.
