Suddenly There Is A Tidal Wave Lyrics
You held me upside-down
Till I couldn't breathe anymore
Then you held me like a baby
Television, like wine
And cigarettes, like grains of sand
And raspberry Schnapps, like a thousand sunsets
The boys talk like they own the world
The women keep their stupid diaries
But suddenly there's a tidal wave
And everything is sucked out to sea
There were probably birds outside our little room
I don't remember anything but you
We must have been the butt
Of all the jokes in the world
For trying to live like Pippi Longstocking
Till I couldn't breathe anymore
Then you held me like a baby
And cigarettes, like grains of sand
And raspberry Schnapps, like a thousand sunsets
The women keep their stupid diaries
But suddenly there's a tidal wave
And everything is sucked out to sea
I don't remember anything but you
Of all the jokes in the world
For trying to live like Pippi Longstocking

This is it. This is THE BEST early, pre-Merrit vocalist Magnetic Fields song along with 10,000 Fireflies and probably one of the best Magnetic Fields songs PERIOD.
Merrit creates almost a perfect wall of sound, that im sure only the original Spector could ever create. This song just fills you with sound.
