The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs (1999)
Eligible, not too stupid
Intelligible, and cute as cupid
Knowledgeable, but not always right
Salvageable, and free for the night
Well my heart's runnin' round like a chicken with its head cut off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?
Woah Nelly
My wife doesn't understand me
Many dozens, hope to land me
I'm for free love
And I'm in free fall
This could be love
Or nothing at all
But my heart's runnin' round like a chicken with its head cut off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?
We don't have to be stars exploding in the night
Or electric eels under the covers
We don't have to be
Anything quite so unreal
Lets just be lovers
Well my heart's runnin' round like a chicken with it's head cut off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?
It ain't pretty

I just found out about this album like a week ago and this has become one of my favorites!

@Alaricjp I was thinking the same thing. Also I always think Stephen Merritt sounds a lot like Calvin Johnson of Beat Happening.
-
Riff sounds a bit like The Fall's Paint Work. Not quite exact, but it's a pretty big similarity.
-

"We don't have to be stars exploding in the night/or electric eels under the covers/We don't have to be anything quite so unreal/Let's just be lovers."
Beautiful. My heart's running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
