The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It’s full of charts and facts and figures
And instructions for dancing
But I – I love it when you read to me
And you – you can read me anything
The book of love has music in it
In fact that’s where music comes from
Some of it is just trascendental
Some of it is just really dumb
But I – I love it when you sing to me
And you – you can sing me anything.

It makes you blind, it does you in
It makes you think you’re pretty tough
It makes you prone to crime and sin
It makes you say things off the cuff
It’s very small and made of glass
and grossly over-advertised
It turns a genius to an ass
and makes a fool think he is wise
It could make you regret your birth
or turn cartwheels in your best suit
It costs a lot more than it’s worth
and yet there is no substitute.
(…)
Love is like a bottle of gin
but a bottle of gin is not like love.
Ah, los Magnetic Fields, cómo no amarlos.
