'72: Eye Contact - The Magnetic Fields

Eye contact

Must we make eye contact?

Must we always react

Through frowns and smiles?

Let’s make a pact

When we must interact

Facing front would distract

From our profiles

Lovely profiles

Eye contact

How I hate eye contact!

Having to stare

Exactly, in fact, where?

Pretend to care

Where you happen to stare

Break contact if you dare

Haha, I win

Haha, I win

Eye contact

For the autodidact

Ever and always smacked

Of smarmy charm

Call me barmy

Must we all be warm?

Must all warmth take the form

Of eye contact?

Contact, my eye!
