lyrics

Gone with the wild wind
Like it was a dream
Preserved now for all to see
Like nothing, you've ever seen

Right this way to the Museum of Love
Right away
You've got to see 'em
It's love love love

This is right here where he stood
When he wrote those sacred words
And he made a holy vow
And these are the drawings and his library card
And this is the cow

See it all in the Hall of Sadness
Please don't miss
The Exhibit of Madness

As legend would have it
He had this nasty habit
Of a longing that was wronging himself
But still he would persist
In fact, he would insist
That there was nothing nobody could do to help

He really loved her, he really did
And his love went 'round and 'round
And though he tried to keep it hid
He had lost what he had found
He had lost what he had found

Now all this pain preserved for all to observe
But please don't touch
It's an inspiration to think or try to believe
That someone could love someone that much
So now we declare a new holiday for lovers everywhere
For each and every one to have their own share
He would have liked it that way

Right this way to the Museum of Love
Right away
You've got to see 'em
It's love, love, love

As usual, Kirby manipulates various interwar records to fit a cavalcade of emotional states: blissful (B1, E8), tragic (D2, D5), frantic (E1, E6), and just plain horrifying (F3, G1, H1, K1). gjoe52

Is it wicked not to care? Frances Chang's layered, strange experimental pop recalls Lisa Germano in its pursuit of meaning in a sad world. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 2, 2022
