Jeffrey Lewis - Cult boyfriend lyrics

The Misfits are cult rock & roll Worshipped by a few but ignored on the whole Meet the Feebles is a film cult cla**ic It's basically unknown but some say it's fantastic Most women that I meet seem totally unphased Til sometimes there somebody who seems totally amazed I might not be in magazines as a heart throb face But in a few devoted arcs I've found a strong fan base I'm a cult boyfriend, not a mainstream show I'm lonely or I'm worshiped by a lady in the know When you're a cult boyfriend life's always intense They love me or they hate me no one's on the fence Cerebus is cult comic book series It's got fans but it's never found in movies or in theories WFMU is a cult radio station Always tuned to by a few devoted fans around the nation For every time I couldn't get a second date or even first Why does one think I'm the best when all the rest think I'm the worst All of those times no one at all wanted to know If I'm really all that awesome wouldn't more people think so I guess Cult Boyfriend is the term for me It's always been quality not quantity A cult boyfriend's like a record in a bargain bin No one knows what it's worth ‘til a collector comes in Hm, who are some cult literary figures I could honor Maybe J. G. Ballard or Flannery O'Connor Haagus and Fugu, that's like food for cult eaters Jim Jones, Charles Manson, Fater Yed, they're cult leaders Anyways the point being, do I have to magical? Can't we date a few months and then move on normal and casual Suicidally alone and then totally smothered It's so much pressure when you go from one extreme to the other I guess Cult Boyfriend is the term for me It's always been quality not quantity A cult boyfriend's like a record in a bargain bin No one knows what it's worth ‘til a collector comes in I'm a cult boyfriend, not a mainstream show I'm lonely or I'm worshiped by a lady in the know When you're a cult boyfriend life's always intense They're in love or they're indifferent, no one's on the fence And this song ain't probably gonna go far past an open mic It's guaranteed though two or three people are really gonna like it
