Bossy’s Ear Worm

Welcome to Bossy’s Ear Worm, which features songs currently in Bossy’s headphones. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

Future Bible Heroes, Lonely Days.

Bossy would probably love any song written by a band with the wit to call themselves Future Bible Heroes, but she especially loves this one from their 1997 record, Memories of Love.

Future Bible Heroes is led by Stephin Merritt, who also fronted The Magnetic Fields, a band Bossy has featured before, here and here. In fact this ear worm is sung by another Magnetic Fields veteran, Claudia Gonson.

Endless rows of houses fuse
And there’s never any news
Because there’s nowhere to go but crazy
So we go

We just hang around in malls
Up until the army calls
Because there’s nowhere to go but crazy
As you know
