The Only Boy In Town Lyrics - Love At The Bottom Of The Sea - The Magnetic Fields

Oh if only you were the only boy in town 

For then I could not play the field and let you down 

I would not go half mad for each passing lad 

With eyes of blue, green, grey or brown 

No, if only you were only boy in town 

Oh if only you were the only boy in France 

Our life would not be like one long, long, long seance 

I think I would endeavor to love you forever 

Instead of only for the nonce 

If if only you were the only boy in France 

With the only boy in town 

With the only available male 

In the loneliest possible world 

There would be no daily betrayal 

Oh if only you were the only boy alive 

And I were the Queen of our small, small, small beehive 

Though more pricks than a cactus may always distract us 

Would they take up all my sex drive? 

Not not not if you were the only boy alive
