The Magnetic Fields - Swinging London lyrics

I read your manifestoes and
Your strange religious tracts
You took me to your library and
Kissed me in the stacks

Planets crash, the world goes nova
Sun explodes, all goes black
You went off swinging London
And forgot to come back

You couldn't grok my racecar
But you dug the roadside blur
You weren't into my airplane
But you loved the whirling world

Planets crash, the world goes nova
Sun explodes, all goes black
You went off swinging London
And forgot to come back

Planets crash, the world goes nova


Sun explodes, all goes black
You went off swinging London
And forgot to come back baby, come back
