Magnetic Fields, The - Railroad Boy Lyrics
I will not sing your ugly song
I won't put on your ugly play
I cannot join your ugly priesthood
And if I die I won't come home
Railroad boy of mine...
And I went moth-eating with you
I held you down when you had seizures
And read to you at bedtime
Railroad boy of mine...
We went to see a beaver dam
We went to see a coral reef
But life is more than going to see things
And that's too bad
Railroad boy of mine
Railroad boy of mine...

Magnetic Fields, The Railroad Boy Comments
What is the time signature? I can't tell whether it's 4/4, 6/8 or whatever ...
This is a friend of mine's favorite song.
I like it, too.
This is one of their best songs, without a doubt. I thought she sounded great as a vocalist.
Magnetic fields mirror my emotions my mirror
ba sb
That one fool who was actually looking for a video about a railroad boy and so gave this a thumbs down
"I held you down when you had seizures, and read to you at bedtime". It means nothing to those who can only love those they view as inferiors.
This is inarguably the best song of the second millennium.
BÖRNER hugh !
right in the FEELS
Wow, this is good. Deserves to be listened to intently by itself, not only as one of a collection of songs. Not that the whole 2-album disc is not a towering achievement. I appreciate Merritt's work in general, but those first two albums have long stood apart and above for me. Susan Anway's voice is, for me, the ideal conduit for the Magnetic Fields vision.
i LOVE your voice !
thanks sarah, that means a lot
This was 1991. The year I was born!

Stephin you cleanse the spirit. The the lacrimal apparatus works, this music is life blood. Thank you
I didn't hear this until the early 00's and couldn't get past the reverb-drenched synths. Now, its one of my favs.
