The Magnetic Fields - The Only Boy in Town lyrics
[The Magnetic Fields - The Only Boy in Town lyrics]
Oh if only you were the only boy in town
For then I could not play the
Field and let you down
I would not go half mad for each passing lad
With eyes of blue, green, gray, or brown
No, if only you were the only boy in town
Oh if only you were the only boy in France
Our life would not be like one long, long
Long seance
I think I would endeavor to love you forever
Instead of only for the nonce
If-if only you were the only boy in France
With the only boy in town
With the only available male
In the loneliest possible world
There would be no daily betrayal
Oh if only you were the only boy alive
And I were the queen of our small, small
Small beehive
Though more pricks than a cactus
May always distract us
Would they all take up all my sex drive?
Not not not if you were the only boy alive
Oh if only you were the only boy in town
Oh if only you were the only boy in France
For then I could not play the
Field and let you down
I would not go half mad for each passing lad
With eyes of blue, green, gray, or brown
No, if only you were the only boy in town
Oh if only you were the only boy in France
Our life would not be like one long, long
Long seance
I think I would endeavor to love you forever
Instead of only for the nonce
If-if only you were the only boy in France
With the only boy in town
With the only available male
In the loneliest possible world
There would be no daily betrayal
Oh if only you were the only boy alive
And I were the queen of our small, small
Small beehive
Though more pricks than a cactus
May always distract us
Would they all take up all my sex drive?
Not not not if you were the only boy alive
Oh if only you were the only boy in town
Oh if only you were the only boy in France
