Magazine Lyrics

an oil painted portrait
of still life
a moving image
with patience
just lie still
a chemical illusion
break it down
a moment fallen to pieces
fallen down
some things do last forever
I won't go

chorus

I want to live in a magazine
I want to go in cheap
and come out clean
I want to live in a magazine
I want to be obscure
with a girl obscene

irresistable canvas
rayon eyes
imaginary invention
can you tell
unbelievable likeness
get closer
a candy coated solution
smells like film
some things do last forever
I won't go

chorus

don't try to take me down 'cause you know I
won't go
I don't give a damn about it anymore
I won't go
a sentimental position
hold that thought
an emotional gesture
let it go
an enamel persona
residue
a scientific religion
break it down
some things do
last forever
won't go

chorus

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Just "Come out Clean" actually. People thought it was called Magazine because this song infuenced the name of the album it was first recorded in "Magazine"

to clarify: originally, the song was entitled "Magazine" BEFORE the album Magazine was released. they introduced it as "Magazine" in concerts. then, when the CD was released, they decided they wanted to call the album Magazine because 4 or 5 songs on the on the CD mention or talk about Magazines, and it seemed appropriate, but they didn't want the entire CD's focus to be that one song, so they changed the name of the song to "Come Out Clean."
