Cover art for Papa Was a Rodeo (The Magnetic Fields cover) lyrics by Bright Eyes

Such a good cover, love the magnetic fields! The guitar in this song is really good too, as are the drums.

And I love the double entendre on the line "love was a truckers hand" meaning truck stop hand jobs, or of course just a handshake or kindness from a fellow trucker on the road.

(before you whine...magnetic fields are known for their homosexually ambivalent lines)
