Magician Man

Magician Man by The Pipettes

Lyrics::
There was this girl,
and she looked like a school teacher
With strappy sandals and a cotton dress
And her hair was always in a long, long plait
With big white clips to keep it all in
And stop it falling out
And stop it falling out
And she did the Charleston to every sort of music
especially if it was punk
Then it would be the Charleston sped up
And the first time I saw her,
she was dancing all alone,
in the middle of a red-carpeted room
And everyone was watching, but pretending not to
She was quite something,
and she knew all my friends' names
But I don't think she'd remember mine
Then he said...

My pretty baby, would you like to dance?
And I thought,
My pretty baby, I might give you a chance
And he said,
My little lady you must understand
That I am not a magician, I am nothing but a man

But it didn't matter anyway,
because we danced all the same
And it seemed to me,
we were dancing better than her
Much better
And I smoked 4 cigarettes that night,
and 5 the next day, and 6 the next night
To share a cigarette, and remember all
the ones we shared before

But I still remember that night,
(Still remember)
And I still remember the red-carpeted room
(Still remember)
And I still remember it when he came up to me and said
(Still remember)
Yeah, I still remember when he came up to me and said
(Still remember, still remember, still remember)
He said...

My pretty baby, would you like to dance?
(My pretty baby, would you like to dance?)
And I thought,
My pretty baby, I might give you a chance
(My pretty baby, I might give you a chance)
Then he said,
My little lady you must understand.
(My little lady)
That I am not a magician, I am nothing but a man
(Nothing but a man)

My pretty baby, would you like to dance?
And I thought,
My pretty baby, I might give you a chance
Then he said
My little lady you must understand
That I am not a magician, I am nothing but a man

He's my magician man
My magician man
He's my magician man
He's my magician man

[AmaZingNinjaRette]

Absolutely. :3

Feel free to send me your e-mail or something and I can send you the mp3.

[PsychoAssassin]

cracking song! one of their best i reckon, it's a shame it wasn't included on the album.

I feel bad asking, but is it possible to have the mp3 of this?

[AmaZingNinjaRette]

I'd be happy to share.

Unfortunately, it's on my laptop, which I will not have in my possession until Wednesday. I can send it then, though!

[anterostros]

I didn't hear this song before! Did they ever preform this live?

[AmaZingNinjaRette]

I don't think so.

I'd never even HEARD of this song before like... 3 months ago.

And I got the mp3 from a special amazing source.

Hey peeps, I´ll send you Your Love For Me (studio version) or whatever you want from my channel. Just send me a message with your e-mail address.

But I´d love to have this song. I´m also looking for b-sides and songs from live performances. Let me know if you have anything I´ve just mentioned. Thanx

Wow, I've never heard this song before either -- but I love the lyrics and speak-sing vocals. So much personality behind it! The oddly specific storytelling reminds me of a Jens Lekman song.

I absolutely <3 Rose and I don't think I'm alone in that sentiment.

[MarsVoltaire]

D': i wish they were back together....

[PsychoAssassin]

Ah it's no worries now, I ended up getting the mp3 from elsewhere.

Thanks though! :)
