Quick! from Love at the Bottom of the Sea, new album by fantastic The Magnetic Fields.

Lyrics:

You better think of something quick before I don't love you no more
Quick, before I walk out that door
Quick, before it all ends in jeers
What a waste of all those beers

You better think of something quick because my suitcase is packed
Quick, because I'm through being attacked
Are you really prepared to lose
All this just to air your views?

We're on the brink of something

Get me a drink of something quick between your outrageous remarks
Like the mating calls of sarcastic sharks
Quick, before you can't take that back
Just before it all goes black

You better think of something quick before the midnight bell chimes
You're living in dangerous times
Torture me for your amusement
About who will pay the rent

Who will pay the rent
Who will pay the rent
Who will pay the rent
Who will pay the rent
Who will pay the rent

    Oh and I came here from Radio National in Australia. It was the album of the week.

    Only three years? It's the most original thing I have heard for nearly twenty years. I love it.

    ..... This is a girl. Not all of the songs are sung by Stephin Merritt. See 'Your Girlfriend's Face', Plant White Roses or A Sweet Loving Man.

    I was listening to 69 Love Songs and then I came on YouTube and found this. What happened to his voice?

    Oh boo. I only now saw the lyrics. For ages I thought the last line was "Ah, but who will pay the rent," as in; sure, whine as much as you like but if I leave - remember who pays the bills? Ultimate closer (both song and argument). I'm going to keep singing it that way in my head.
