'78: The Blizzard of '78 (78：78年的暴雪) - The Magnetic Fields Written by：Stephin Merritt One ten year old was found after three weeks In a snowdrift ten feet from his door
Some fell asleep in their cars and awakened no more
25 people died shoveling snow Have that done by somebody you hate
166 looters arrested but wait
I spent the blizzard of '78 On a commune in northern Vermont
With all the Isaac Asimov anybody could want
Music was very much not allowed So we said hey kids let's start a band
Proof that ganesh loves us There was no tape deck at hand
The first band I'd had was called one and a half We were a duo technically
So if Tonto's expanding head band was a band So were we
I spent the blizzard of '78 On a commune in northern Vermont
With all the Ursula Le Guin any body could want
I played guitar Chris played tin cans Caroline played tambourine
Chris was 11 Caroline 12 I 13
We called ourselves the black widows
We weren't the last nor the first
But we were almost certainly by far the worst
We made the cramps sound orchestral
That's an achievement I guess
As for rehearsal We made the shaggs sound like yes
I spent the blizzard of '78 On a commune in northern Vermont
