Biography

The Magnetic Fields (named after the [a945713] novel Les Champs Magnétiques) is an American indie pop group founded and led by Stephin Merritt. He is the group's primary songwriter, producer and vocalist, as well as frequent multi-instrumentalist. The Magnetic Fields is essentially a vehicle for Merritt's songwriting, along with various side-projects, such as The 6ths, Future Bible Heroes and The Gothic Archies. While the particular musical style of the band is usually as malleable as Merritt's songwriting, its songs are commonly attributed to pop genres and subgenres: synthpop, indie pop, and noise pop. The band is often also cited as being recognizable by Merritt's lyrics, often about love and often with irregular or neutral gender roles, that are by turns ironic, tongue-in-cheek, bitter, and humorous.

LYRICS

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...
