The Magnetic Fields is a New York-based group fronted by Stephin Merritt. Recent albums released under the name &quot;The Magnetic Fields&quot; usually consist of synth-pop music in a 1980s style underlying clever lyrics which are often heavily ironic. While synth-pop often forms the foundation of their music, The Magnetic Fields' music borrows from many other styles, notably country, folk and indie pop.  The band was originally formed in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1990 by friends Merritt and (percussionist/pianist/vocalist) Claudia Gonson.

The Magnetic Fields est un groupe mené par le chanteur et auteur New-Yorkais Stephen Merritt. Les albums du groupe consistent en général à de la pop au synthé type années 1980 soulignant des textes brillants, souvent à propos de l'amour, qui sont ironiques et humoristiques. Bien que les albums The Wayward Bus et Distant Plastic Trees soient chantés par Susan Anway, Merritt reste le principal chanteur dans la plupart des cas.

The Magnetic Fields sind eine US-amerikanische Indie-, bzw. Synthie-Popband, die von dem New Yorker Sänger, Songwriter und Produzenten Stephin Merritt geleitet wird. Während die ersten beiden Alben von 1991 und 1992, &quot;The Wayward Bus&quot; und &quot;Distant Plastic Trees&quot; (seit 1995 auf einer Kompilation zusammengefügt), von Susan Anway gesungen werden, singt bei allen weiteren Aufnahmen Stephin Merritt selbst.

The Luckiest Guy On The Lower East Side

C          
You are a splendid butterfly
                              Am
It is your wings that make you beautiful
                        G     F
And I could make you fly away
                           C
But I could never make you stay

C
You said you were in love with me
                           Am
Both of us know that that's impossible
                         G        F
And I could make you rue the day
                           C
But I could never make you stay

G
Not for all the tea in China
F
Not if I could sing like a bird
C                          G
Not for all North Carolina
F                         
Not for all my little words
C                           G
Not if I could write for you
F
The sweetest song you ever heard
C                           G
It doesn't matter what I do
F
Not for all my little words

C
Now that you've made me want to die
                        Am
You tell me that you're unboyfriendable
                         G       F
And I could make you pay and pay
                           C
But I could never make you stay

To get the main riff, just hold
your finger on the e string first
fret for two notes, then open for
two notes, while strumming the whole chord

Epitaph For My Heart

My [C] girl is the queen of the [F] savages
She [G] don't know the modern world
and its [C] ravages
[C] Instead of money she's
got yams and [F] cabbages
She [G] lives in a dome
I [G] don't care if I never get [C] home
My [C] girl is the queen of the [F] jungle folk
You [G] should see the things
we see [C] when we smoke
We [C] think all of life is a [F] funny joke
She's [G] sharp as a tack
I [G] don't care if I never get [C] back
My [C]girl is the queen of ten [F] villages
We [G] live on the fruits
of her [C]pillages
She [C]eats other queens,
she's very [F]religious
She [G]doesn't use a fork
I [G]don't think I'll go back to New [C] York

I don't want to get over     you

I guess I could take a sleeping pill
    C         G 
and sleep at will
                   D 
and not have to go through 
what I go through

                      C        G 
I guess I should take Prozac, right,
         C          G 
and just smile all night
             D 
at somebody new

         Am        Bm 
Somebody not too bright
    C          D 
but sweet and kind 
          C              G
who would try to get you off my mind 
                    C       G
I could leave this agony behind
         C              D 
which is just what I'd do
   C        D 
if I wanted to

but I don't want to get over you
                        C     G 
cause I don't want to get over love 

                   C          G 
I could listen to my therapist, 
     C                G 
pretend you don't exist, 
                   D 
and not have to dream of 
what I dream of 

                   C          G
I could listen to all my friends 
       C      G
and go out again 
D
and pretend it's enough 

           Am                Bm
or I could make a career of being blue 
          C                       G
I could dress in black and read Camus 
       C                          G
smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth 
like I was 17 
D
that would be a scream

but I don't want to get over you

Yes yes yes it was totally meaningless

Meaningless 
like when two fireflies fluoresce 
Just like everything I guess 
it was utterly meaningless 
Even less 
a little glimpse of nothingness 
sucking meaning from the rest of this mess 
Yes yes yes it was thoroughly meaningless

E                               F# 
  and if some dim bulb should say

                          B 
we were in love in some way

                            E 
kick all his teeth in for me

             F#               E                F# 
and if you feel like keeping on kicking feel free

Meaningless 
Who dare to say it wasn't meaningless 
Shout from the rooftops and address the press 
Ha ha ha it was totally meaningless

B 
Meaningless

                    G#m 
Meaning less than a game of chess

                               E 
Just like your mother said and mother knows best

                           F# 
I knew it all the time but now I confess

E         F#                   B 
Yes yes yes how deliciously meaningless

          F#                  E 
Yes yes yes effervescently meaningless

          F#                      B 
Yes yes yes it was beautifully meaningless

          F#                     E 
Yes yes yes it was profoundly meaningless 
Yes yes yes definitively meaningless 
Yes yes yes comprehensively meaningless 
Yes yes yes magnificently meaningless 
Yes yes yes how incredibly meaningless 
Yes yes yes unprecedentedly meaningless 
Yes yes yes how mind-blowingly meaningless 
Yes yes yes unbelievably meaningless 
Yes yes yes how infinitely meaningless

I Think I Need A New Heart

G          C          D/F#     G
  The book of love is long and boring
G        C             D/F#      G    
  No one can lift the damn thing 
G           C             D/F#      G
  It's full of charts and facts and figures
G       C              D/F#   G
  And instructions for dancing but

G C D/F# G
I...
G       C           D/F#    G
  I love it when you read to me and
G C D/F# G
You...
G         C       D/F# G
  You can read me anything

G          C          D/F#     G
The book of love has music in it
G          C          D/F#     G
In fact that's where music comes from
G          C          D/F#     G
Some of it is just transcendental
G          C          D/F#     G
Some of it is just really dumb but

G C D/F# G
I...
G       C               D/F#        G
I love it when you sing to me and
G C D/F# G
You...
G       C           D/F#        G
You can sing me anything

G          C          D/F#     G
The book of love is long and boring
G          C          D/F#     G
And written very long ago
G          C          D/F#     G
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
G          C          D/F#     G
And things we're all too young to know but

(G C D/F# G
I...
G           C             D/F#        G
I love it when you give me things and
G C D/F# G
You...
G           C             D/F#      G
You ought to give me wedding rings) x2

The Book Of Love

Intro/Verse: F C Bb

F          C     Bb
Dance with me my old friend
F    C         Bb
once before we go
F     C             Bb
Let's pretend this song won't end
       F      C         Bb
And we never have to go home

          Gm                    C
And we'll dance among the chandeliers

F                                 Bb
  And nothing matters when we're dancing
C                             F
  In tat or tatters you're entrancing
F                      Bb
  Be we in Paris or in Lansing
C                            F
  Nothing matters when we're dancing

       F     C         Bb
You've never been more beautiful
     F         C        Bb
Your eyes like two full moons
   F       C          Bb
As here in this poor old dance hall
  F       C        Bb
Among the dreadful tunes

         Gm                  C
The awful songs we don't even hear

F                                 Bb
  And nothing matters when we're dancing
C                             F
  In tat or tatters you're entrancing
F                      Bb
  Be we in Paris or in Lansing
C                            F
  Nothing matters when we're dancing

I Looked All Over Town

F
A

      C
I was born, I hate this part,
              E
being someone new,
      F                          C           G:
being torn, seeing someone who died as you grew.
         F                   C
Growing older is killing a child
                  G           D
who laughed and smiled at anything,
          F                        C
growing colder and less and less wild
                  G
and learning to sing.

      C
I was young, then not so young:
             E
scary either way.
         F                         C         G
One more rung down that black ladder every day.

            F                 C
One more floor down the elevator
          G        D
to oblivion what fun,
        F                  G
but the singularly awful one
         F     A
is being born.

I Was Born

C:               B             Em
It was infinitely late at night.
    Am                        B
The stars are still out there,
            Am          B
but they're all out of light.
      Em            B  C            B
Don't worry about me,  I'll be all right,
          C         B         Em
it's just infinitely late at night.

     Am
It's still getting later and later and later.
  Em                             D
I feel like I'm in a falling elevator.

    B
I'd kill for a drink, but I can't find the waiter.
  C                        B
I really believe he's gone home.
   C                      B
Oh god, I wish I could go home,
         C         B         Em
but it's infinitely late at night.

Is this a blackout or am I losing my sight?
It should have been noon now, the sun should be bright,
but it's infinitely...

The hour on the bar clock, it isn't finite,
it's all black and white without the white.
It's just infinitely late at night.

Infinitely Late At Night

Verse:

The blue of your eyes was infinite

G          G     A       A  

You seemed to be in love with me

D            A    G        G

Which isn't very realistic

Lonely Highway

The Charm of the Highway Strip

Em        C      D                 Em       C    D
I know the rain is not profound, and autumn's not symbolic
Em                C        D
And the wind does not make lonesome sounds
Em               D
Yes, I know it's meaningless
C                D
Yes, I know it's meaningless
     G       C       D
But let's go out and frolic

            G          C           D
Cause the sun and the sea and the sky
          G      C        D
They will never make you cry
            G           C        D
You can love them and they don't die
G           C   Em
They don't just die

You can wait for Jesus all your life, he's coming any day now
Any day now for two thousand years
Yes I know, it's trivial
Yes, I know I'm shallow
But let's go out and play now

Cause the sun and the sea and the sky
They will never make you cry
You can love them and they don't die
They don't just die

The Sun And The Sea And The Sky

Obscurities

Eb            Bb                  Ab                Eb          Bb           Ab 
Moons     in        June      I've given up on that stuff  
Arms have charms but I've no hope of falling in love  

         Ab            Eb         Bb        Cm
(C): The rest of life pales in significance  

    Ab          Eb       Bb            Eb
I'm looking for somebody with whom to dance  
With whom to dance?  With whom to dance?  
I'm looking for somebody with whom to dance.
  
Rings and strings  What use have I for these things?  
Bells and carousels  I'd just be fooling myself.  (C)

    Ab                 Eb      
And you  You look like heaven  

   Bb                       F:
An angel who stepped from a dream
777 times lovelier than anything I've ever seen.  (C)

With Whom To Dance

Get Lost

B, E, F#, G#m, E, F#, B

B               E         F#
 I want to be a playboy's bunny.
G#m                      E       F#
   I'd do whatever they asked me to.
B                     E       F# 
 I'd meet people with lots of money,
G#m                            E  F#   B    E
   and they would love me like I loved you.

I want to be a topless waitress.
I want my mother to shed one tear.
I'd throw away this old sedate dress,
slip into something a tad more sheer.

E                B        F#
 I want to be an artist's model,
E                 B   F#
 an odalisque, au naturel.
B                    E        F#
 I should be good at spin-the-bottle
G#m                               E    F#  B    E
   while I've still got something left to sell.

I want to be a cobra dancer,
with Little Willy between my thighs.
I may not find a cure for cancer,
but I'll meet plenty of single guys.

I want to be a brothel worker.
I've always been treated like one.
If I could be a back-street lurker,
I'd make more money and have more fun.

I want to be a dominatrix,
which isn't like me, but I can dream
learn S, and M, and all those gay tricks,
and men will pay me to make them scream.

I want to be a porno starlet.
(For that I'll wait till Mama's dead.)
I'll see my name in lights of scarlet
and get to spend every day in bed.

I want to be a tattooed lady,
dedicated -- as I am -- to art.
Characters bold, complex, and shady
will write my memoirs across my heart.

But I become a momma's boy for
F     G   C
Andrew in drag

C
I'd sign away my trust fund
                      Am
I would even sell the Jag

If I could spend my misspent youth with
F     G   C

C
So stick him in a dress and
                      Am
He's the only boy I'd shag
C
The only boy I'd anything is
F     G   C
Andrew in drag

C
I'll never see that girl again

Como intro:
Desnudar el sin razón
que modelo nuestras vidas
Parece ser causa perdida.

Nadie apuesta detener
el motor que contamina
el aire que a diario respiras

Am
Y que respiraste ayer,
Como intro
y que mañana tal vez, no lo sé.
Por eso hoy

Reflexionando en esto,

y dejó otro día para ser.

Vender, comprar.
Comer, cagar.
Morir, nacer.

Sufrir, gozar.
Odiar, amar.
Ser o no ser

Culpable o inocente, malviviente o juez.
O quien con sólo su firma decreta la ley.
Pronucleares informistas modelan la situación.
Más tecnología, por más energía.
Fuga radiactiva de progreso.

Vender, comprar.
Comer, cagar.
Morir, nacer.

Sufrir, gozar.
Odiar, amar.
Ser o no ser.

Beautiful Girls

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe,

me sentirás tal vez

me sentirás

las aguas en tus ojos

vibran su dulce brillo

una piel y una flor

son tus pechos,

que no piensan menos mal,

oh por favor,

gira loca girasol . . .

déjame como estoy,

ya te amé y allí morí,

quédate quédate oh!

déjame explicarte,

solo extiéndete una vez más . . .

extiéndete una vez más . . .

eres mi esperanza,

solo una grieta en mi existir . . .

no somos solo cuerpos,

y como un fondo un cielo . . .

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe

tal vez me sentirás

tal vez me sentirás

Ponte de pie y andar y andar…

Solo saben hablar, y hablar y hablar...

C
Working the village shop
E
Putting a poster up
Am
Dreaming of anything
C              Am               Em               Dm
Dreaming of the time when you're free from all the trouble you're in

C
In the mud, on your knees
E
Trying hard not to please
Am
Anyone, all the time
C              Am
Being a rebel's fine
           Em            C
But you go all the way to being brutal

Chorus:
G
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
F
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boy's jumper

Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving

Chorus:
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while licking railings

But you read in a book
That you got free from Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it.
