der Magnetic Fields unt National trust

Two of my favourite bands

and I'm gonna pull a Blackie*.

S. Merrit is wonderful lyricist. Especially on new found love and deeply broken hearts. neither apply to me this moment in time, but they have in times past. He's good. Plus, the gender crazy lines (Amazing he's a whole new form of life/Blue eyes blazing and he's going to be my wife) : kool.

Here's some lyrics that I love, reproduced for you on my blog*:

When my boy walks down the street (s. merrit)

Grand pianos crash together when my boy walks down the street
There are whole new kinds of weather when he walks with his new beat

Everyone sings hallelujah when my boy walks down the street

Life just kind of dances through ya from your smile down to your feet

Amazing he's a whole new form of life

Blue eyes blazing and he's going to be my wife

The world does the hula-hula when my boy walks down the street

Everyone thinks he's Petula so big and yet so petite

Butterflies turn into people when my boy walks down the street

Maybe he should be illegal he just makes life too complete...

Amazing he's a whole new form of life

Blue eyes blazing and he's going to be my wife

Oh, shadows of echoes of memories

Oh, things that he brings that he found in the sea

Oh, shadows of echoes of memories of songs

Oh, how could he know that it won't be long...

Grand pianos crash together when my boy walks down the street

There are whole new kinds of weather when he walks with his new beat

Everyone sings hallelujah when my boy walks down the street

Life just kind of dances through ya from your smile down to your feet

National Trust

Always fun when you turn people onto kool music. @ school, the Greek responded to the M. fields, and two of the ladies in the library were rocking out to a pirate copy of the N.T. show @ Hideout (sold out show i missed). Forgot to bring Kings and Queens in. Manana. Probably some mag. fields as well.
