Maddening day with Pittsburgh City Government Bullshit, so in honor of Barack Obama and the PA primaries, here are the lyrics to the Magnetic Fields' "Bitter Tears":
Bitter tears keep me going
through the years, freely flowing
What have you done
Only a gun
could stop these bitter tears
The endless streets I walk along
you made them seem pretty
but no I dress in country songs
and wake in New York City...
I cry because it looks so good
I cry, why not, it's free
and there's nothing more interesting
than crying constantly...

This fan of thrash metal here ain't interested in no Magnetic Fields' work.
But good lyrics anyway; all hail the new flesh !
I can't imagine why anyone would want to stop crying.
Good lyrics; fitting for soul-destroyng civic duties.
Can close my eyes and envision Lucinda or Uncle Willie crooning them.
We should all "cling" to our "bitter" tears.
Mike
If you don't cry then you just don't feel it deep enough.
No one will ever love you for your honesty.
Is Pittsberg in Pennsylvania? I thought it was Ohio.
