Cult Boyfriend Jeffrey Lewis
Verse
[E]The misfits are cult [D]rock and roll
Worshipped [A]by a few but ign[E]ored on the whole.
[E]Meet the Feebles is a [D]film cult classic
It's [A]basically unknown but some [E]say it's fantastic.
Most [E]women that I meet seem [D]totally unphased
'Til [A]sometimes there's somebody who seems [E]totally amazed.
I may not [E]be in magazines as a [D]heart-throb face
But in a [A]few devoted hearts I've found a [E]strong fanbase.
Chorus
I'm a [E]cult boyfriend, not a [D]mainstream show
I'm [A]lonely or I'm worshiped by a [E]lady in the know
When you're a [E]cult boyfriend life's [D]always intense
They [A]love me or they hate me no one's [E]on the fence
Verse
[E]Cerebus is cult [D]comic book series.
It's got [A]fans but it's never found in [E]movies or in theories.
[E]WFMU is a cult [D]radio station
Always [A]tuned to by a few devoted [E]fans around the nation.
For [E]every time I couldn't get a second [D]date or even first,
Why does [A]one think I'm the best when all the [E]rest think I'm the worst?
[E]All of those times no one at [D]all wanted to know.
If I'm [A]really all that awesome wouldn't [E]more people think so?
Chorus
I guess [E]Cult Boyfriend is the [D]term for me,
It's always [A]been quality not [E]quantity.
A cult [E]boyfriend's like a record in a [D]bargain bin
No one [A]knows its worth 'til a col[E]lector comes in.

Verse
[E]Hmm, who are some cult [D]literary names I could honour?
[A]Maybe J. G. Ballard or [E]Flannery O'Connor.
[E]Haggis and fugu, that's lik[D]e food for cult eaters.
[A]Jim Jones, Charles Manson, [E]Father Yod, they're cult leaders.
[E]Anyways the point being, [D]do I have to magical?
[A]Can't we date a few months and then move on [E]normal and casual?
[E]Suicidally alone and then [D]totally smothered -
It's so much [A]pressure when you go from one ex[E]treme to the other.
Chorus
I guess [E]Cult Boyfriend is the [D]term for me.
It's always [A]been quality not q[E]uantity.
A cult [E]boyfriend's like a record in a [D]bargain bin:
No one [A]knows its worth 'til a [E]collector comes in.
I'm a [E]cult boyfriend, not a [D]mainstream show.
I'm [A]lonely or I'm worshipped by a [E]lady in the know.
When you're a [E]cult boyfriend life's [D]always intense.
They [A]love me or they hate me no one's [E]on the fence

[End]
And [E]this song probably ain't gonna go very [D]far beyond an open mic.
[A]It's guaranteed though, two or three [E]people are really gonna like it.
End on E
