| Des Ark – The Subtleties Of Chores & Unlocked Doors Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think it's "I figured if we could settle for THIS DRAG OF A TOWN", not "the string of the town." Also, "It feels good to know I've got my patience BACK." not "book." Also "WITH enough of the two, I think we're gonna make it through all right." |

| The Magnetic Fields – The Book of Love Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| i think both versions are lovely, though i prefer TMF's, particularly because peter gabriel's altered melody on the verses is a bit boring, and the magnetic fields' original is even more moving and beautiful in its simple unadorned spareness (just ukulele and slide guitar--no need for the swell of strings when you've got lyrics as heartbreaking as this!) but if peter gabriel covering this song brings more people to the magnetic fields, that's a great thing. i imagine he must be a magnetic fields fan himself. and hey, "in your eyes" is a classic worthy of its longevity. respect to both PG and TMF. | |
