’88 Ethan Frome Songtext
von The Magnetic Fields

Masterpiece of catastrophic love
In a small New England town
Ninety-five pages of tragedy
Difficult to put down

La la la la la la la la la la la
Ethan Frome
La la la la la la la la la la la
Ethan Frome

Came to light in 1911
Overnight lit-fic classic
Bringing fame to Edith Wharton
And fortune to Scribner′s sons


La la la la la la la la la la la
Ethan Frome
La la la la la la la la la la la
Ethan Frome

I first read you on my birthday
And again umpteen more times
When will they make you a musical
There have been far worse crimes

La la la la la la la la la la la
Ethan Frome
La la la la la la la la la la la
Ethan Frome

Ethan Frome
