| Song Information:
|
This song's working title was Magazine, but was eventually changed once the band decided on an album title. Four different songs on Magazine mention the word "magazine" somewhere in the lyrics (B-13, Come Out Clean, My Guitar, and Violent Dreams). They elected that to be the album title, and changed the title of this song to Come Out Clean after a line in the chorus. If you can count the correct number of times the words 'magazine' and 'title' appear in this description, you win a banana. |
| Lyrical Transcription: | Official lyrics from Magazine liner notes |
An oil painted portrait
Of still life
A moving image with patience
Just lie still
A chemical illusion
Break it down
A moment fallen to pieces
Fallen down
Some things do last forever
I won't go
I want to live in a magazine
I want to go in cheap and come out clean
I want to live in a magazine
I want to be obscure with a girl obscene
Irresistible canvas
Rayon eyes
Imaginary invention
Can you tell
Unbelievable likeness
Get closer
A candy coated solution
Smells like film
Some things do last forever
I won't go
I want to live in a magazine
I want to go in cheap and come out clean
I want to live in a magazine
I want to be obscure with a girl obscene
Don't try to take me down 'cause you know I won't go
I don't give a damn about it anymore
I won't go
A sentimental position
Hold that thought
An emotional gesture
Let it go
An enamel persona
Residue
A scientific religion
Break it down
Some things do last forever
I won't go
I want to live in a magazine
I want to go in cheap and come out clean
I want to live in a magazine
I want to be obscure with a girl obscene
