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 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
I'm sorry, but how can I get to you
stuck in my fifty-pound lead boots
stuck in my deep sea diving suit?

I never thought you'd turn on me
'cause you're my best friend
you say I never offered you a thing in the end
and now you wouldn't trust me with a grain of sand
