Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene Lyrics
He—, hold up, fuck
He—, what the fuck?
Sounds like a fart
(One, two, three, four)
[Verse 1]
He smells very nice
Oh, so nice
Wears clothes that I like
He doesn't even try
He doesn't even try
[Chorus]
And I think I wanna marry him
But I really don't wanna freak him out
I know all our children's names, they're called
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
[Verse 2]
Love me 'til I die
I'll be his corpse bride
And when I smell, he says it's fine
Oh, how nice
And I think I wanna marry him
But I really don't wanna freak him out
I know all our children's names, they're called
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
They're Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
[Bridge]
I'm scared he's gonna leave me
'Cause when I'm mad, I get pretty scary
But he won't and he won't because I'm pretty
And we'll have lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of babies
[Chorus]
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene
Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene

The name of this song is simply the names I want to call my children. I’m literally saying in the song, ‘You’ll never leave me because you think I’m pretty, so we’ll have lots of babies called Yoshimi, Forest, Magdalene.’ And it’s supposed to be really stupid and fun to finish the album off on a positive note. I wanted it to be very messy—like so disgustingly distorted that you can’t even hear a sound. We recorded it live in Wandsworth in a studio. There were two drum kits and we were just bashing the drums. It was fun, and very Flaming Lips-inspired. The last mood of this album is the really strange, weird Bea. And I think that’s my favourite one.
