Jeffrey Lewis - Cult Boyfriend lyrics
[Jeffrey Lewis - Cult Boyfriend lyrics]
The Misfit's are cult rock & roll
Worshipped by a few but ignored on the whole
Meet the Feebles is a film cult classic
It's basically unknown but some
Say it's fantastic
Most women that I meet seem totally unfazed
Til sometimes there somebody who
Seems totally amazed
I might not be in magazines
As a heart throb face
But in a few devoted hearts I've
Found a strong fan base
I'm a cult boyfriend, not a mainstream show
I'm lonely or I'm worshiped by
A lady in the know
When you're a cult boyfriend
Life is always intense
They love me or they hate me
No one's on the fence
Cerebus is cult comic book series
It's got fans but it's never found
In movies or in theories
WFMU is a cult radio station
Always tuned to by a few
Devoted fans around the nation
For every time I couldn't get a
Second date or even first
Why does one think I'm the best when
All the rest think I'm the worst
All of those times no one
At all wanted to know
If I'm really all that awesome
Wouldn't more people think so
I guess Cult Boyfriend is the term for me
It's always been quality not quantity
A cult boyfriend's like a record
In a bargain bin
No one knows what it's worth
‘til a collector comes in
Hm, who are some cult literary
Figures I can honor
Maybe J g ballard or Flannery O'Connor
Haggis and Fugu
That's like food for cult eaters
Jim Jones, Charles Manson, Father Yod
They're cult leaders
Anyways the point being
Do I have to be magical?
Can't we date a few months and
Then move on normal and casual
Suicidally alone and then totally smothered
It's so much pressure when you go
From one extreme to the other
I guess Cult Boyfriend is the term for me
It's always been quality not quantity
A cult boyfriend's like a record
In a bargain bin
No one knows what it's worth
‘til a collector comes in
I'm a cult boyfriend, not a mainstream show
I'm lonely or I'm worshiped by
A lady in the know
When you're a cult boyfriend
Life is always intense
They're in love or they're indifferent
No one's on the fence
And this song ain't probably gonna go
Far past an open mic
It's guaranteed though two or three people
Are really gonna like it
Worshipped by a few but ignored on the whole
Meet the Feebles is a film cult classic
It's basically unknown but some
Say it's fantastic
Most women that I meet seem totally unfazed
Til sometimes there somebody who
Seems totally amazed
I might not be in magazines
As a heart throb face
But in a few devoted hearts I've
Found a strong fan base
I'm a cult boyfriend, not a mainstream show
I'm lonely or I'm worshiped by
A lady in the know
When you're a cult boyfriend
Life is always intense
They love me or they hate me
