The Magnetic Fields

The Nuns Litany

by The Magnetic Fields
The Magnetic Fields

Biography:

The Magnetic Fields is a New York-based group fronted by Stephin Merritt. Recent albums released under the name "The Magnetic Fields" usually consist of synth-pop music in a 1980s style underlying clever lyrics which are often heavily ironic. While synth-pop often forms the foundation of their music, The Magnetic Fields' music borrows from many other styles, notably country, folk and indie pop.

The band was originally formed in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1990 by friends Merritt and (percussionist/pianist/vocalist) Claudia Gonson.

============================================================================
Intro: C F G Am F G C

C F G Am
I want to be a Playboy's bunny
Am F G C
I'd do whatever they asked me to
C F G Am
I'd meet people with lots of money
Am
and they would love me
F G C
like I loved you


C F G Am
I want to be a topless waitress
Am F G C
I want my mother to shed one tear
C F G Am
I'd throw away this old sedate dress
Am F G C
slip into something a tad more sheer


F C G
I want to be an artist's model
F C G
an odalisque, au naturel
C F G Am
I should be good at spin-the-bottle
Am
while I've still got something
F G C
left to sell


C F G Am
I want to be a cobra dancer
Am F G C
with Little Willie between my thighs
C F G Am
I may not find a cure for cancer
Am F G C
But I'll meet plenty of single guys


F C G
I want to be a brothel worker
F C G
I've always been treated like one
C F G Am
If I could be a back-street lurker
Am
I'd make more money
F G C
and have more fun


C F G Am
I want to be a dominatrix
Am F G C
which isn't like me, but I can dream
C
learn S and M
F G Am
and all those gay tricks
Am
And men will pay me to
F G C
make them scream


F C G
I want to be a porno starlet
F C G
(for that I'll wait till Mama's dead)
C F G Am
I'll see my name in lights of scarlet
Am F G C
and get to spend every day in bed


C F G Am
I want to be a tattooed lady
Am F G C
dedicated, as I am, to art
C F G Am
Characters bold, complex and shady
Am
will write my memoirs
F G C
across my heart.
