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

Time stands still All I can feel is the time standing still
as you put down the keys and say don't call me please
while the radio plays "I Think I Need a New Heart"
You've lied too but it's a sin that I can't tell the truth
cause it all comes out wrong unless I put it in a song
so the radio plays "I Think I Need a New Heart" just for you
"I Think I Need a New Heart" cause I always say I love you
when I mean turn out the light and I say let's run away
when I just mean stay the night but the words you want to hear
you will never hear from me I'll never say happy anniversary
never stay to say happy anniversary so I think I need a new heart
Give me time
