Yeah! Oh Yeah!

Tracey Thorn and Jens Lekman - Yeah! Oh, Yeah! (The Magnetic Fields)

+ this song is from a Merge complication, called Score! which features bands like The National, Ryan Adams, Bright Eyes, but not a very good complication. It's got some weird songs.
+ I love both Jens Lekman and Tracey Thorn, and I love this song. This is such a great collaboration covering a great song.

+ this is such a true and funny song originally by The Magnetic Fields from the "69 Love Songs", a massive album that contains literally 69 love songs.

Are you out of love with me?
Are you longing to be free?
Do I drive you up a tree?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
Do I drive you up the wall?
Do you dread every phone call?
Can you not stand me at all?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
Though I need you more than air
is it true you just don't care?
Are you having an affair?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
When we met I thought
money was everything
so I let you buy the house,
the car, the ring
but I can't take your perpetual whining
and you can't sing
I though if we live apart
we could made a brand-new start
Do you want to break my heart?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
I've enjoyed making you
miserable for years
found peace of mind in
playing on your fears
How I loved to catch your gold
and silver tears, but now my dear
What a dark and dreary life
Are you reaching for a knife?
Could you really kill your wife?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
Of, I die, I die, I die!
So it's over, you and I
Was my whole life just a lie?
Yeah! Oh, yeah!
