Freak Magnet
Freak Magnet is the eighth studio album by Violent Femmes. It was released on February 22, 2000, and the featured single was "Sleepwalkin'."
Originally scheduled for a 1998 release on Interscope Records, Freak Magnet was pulled when the band was dropped from the label, although promo copies with a different track list were released and still circulate. Due to the poor performance of the album both critically and commercially, the band did not record any new music until releasing a cover of Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" in 2008. The UK edition was released via Cooking Vinyl in 2000, whilst a reissue complete with live bonus tracks were released via Shout! Factory on May 24, 2005.

Freak Magnet
by: Violent FemmesSome magnets attract
Some magnets repel
Some magnets say
"Hey, hey, what the hell?"
Take it both ways
First you come and then you go
And then you turn around and P.A.Y.S.
It stays, yes, it stays, no
I don't know what you're doin' here
I don't even want you near
Seem like a, seem like a, uhh
I'm a, I'm a
I'm a freak magnet
I'm a freak magnet
I'm a freak magnet
I'm a freak magnet
I'm callin' all the freaks
From the freak, freak planet
I'm a freak magnet
Well, the birds of a feather
Will fly and flock together
And the letter will come whether
It's good or bad weather
There's a cut on my knees
'Cause I need to freeze
And there's a cord on my coat
'Cause I need to cut that rope
And you're talkin' like sleeze
And you're lookin' like disease
Seem like a, seem like a, uhh
I'm a, I'm a
I'm a freak magnet
I'm a freak magnet
I'm a freak magnet
I'm a freak magnet
I'm callin' all the freaks
From the freak, freak planet
I'm a freak magnet
I don't wanna date you
I don't wanna rape you
I don't wanna kiss you
I will never miss you
Because some magnets repel
And some magnets attract
And some magnets retreat
And then attack, attack, attack
I want it both ways
First I come and then you go
And you're the one of us, who pays
Who says yes? I say, "No"
I don't even want you here
What the fuck you doin' here
Seem like a, seem like a, uhh
I'm a, I'm a
I'm a freak magnet
I'm a freak magnet
I'm a freak magnet
I'm a freak magnet
I'm callin' all the freaks
From the freak, freak planet
I'm a freak magnet
Seem like a, seem like a, uhh
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a
Seem like a, seem like a, uhh
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a
Seem like a, seem like a, uhh
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a
Seem like a, seem like a, uhh
I'm, I'm, I'm
Freak magnet
I'm a freak magnet
I'm a freak magnet
I'm a freak magnet
I'm a freak magnet
I'm a freak magnet
I'm a freak magnet
I'm a freak magnet
Callin' all the freaks
From the freak, freak planet
I'm a freak magnet
Hey, I'm callin' all the freaks
From the freak, freak planet
I'm a freak magnet
Hey, I'm callin' all the freaks
From the freak, freak planet
