When My Boy Walks Down the Street (2:38)

From 69 Love Songs (disc 2) and 3 other releases

In the 69 Love Songs booklet, Stephin Merritt says When My Boy Walks Down The Street is “more like the Jesus and Mary Chain”.

LD Beghtol writes that, “This song is also heavily influenced by The Three O’Clock, an LA ‘paisley underground’ band Stephin and Claudia loved in the 80s, whose terrific first two albums have just recently been released on CD”.

Grand pianos crash together when my boy walks down the street
There are whole new kinds of weather when he walks with his new beat
Everyone sings "Hallelujah" when my boy walks down the street
Life just kind of dances through ya from your smile down to your feet
