![]() Magnolia Soundtrack (1999) [ larger cover art ] |
You look like... a perfect fit,
For a girl in need... of a tourniquet.
But can you save me?
Come on and save me...
If you could save me,
From the ranks of the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone.
'Cause I can tell... you know what it's like.
A long farewell... of the hunger strike.
But can you save me?
Come on and save me...
If you could save me,
From the ranks of the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone.
You struck me dumb, Like radium
Like Peter Pan, or Superman,
You have come... to save me.
Come on and save me...
If you could save me,
From the ranks of the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone,
Except the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone,
But the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone.
Come on and save me...
Why don't you save me?
If you could save me,
From the ranks of the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone,
Except the freaks,
Who suspect they could never love anyone,
Except the freaks,
Who could never love anyone.

| boober (KC,Mo) | Posted: Jan 13, 2013 - 10:49 Weird movie....but I couldn't stop watching.I didn't like the part where all the lead actors were singing along to this song. |
| ppopp (Portland, Oregon) | Posted: Jan 08, 2013 - 07:09 As with any song by Aimee Mann, it is most certainly for the faint-hearted. |
| Phlegmaticman (270 miles south of Paradise, CA) | Posted: Oct 26, 2012 - 15:11 I love this song. The live version is great, too. |
| q4Fry (Currently stateside) | Posted: Oct 09, 2012 - 16:41 This song is a bit draggy. I do particularly like the accordion, though. |
| cShaggy (..in the general vicinity..) | Posted: Oct 06, 2012 - 03:40 ..aimee can do no wrong in my book..& her words and expression help set me free.. |

| Keef (Confluence of the American River) | Posted: Aug 24, 2012 - 15:27 Finally saw the movie and thoroughly enjoyed it. I like the song even better now. |
| ski19570 (Northern Sierras, California) | Posted: Aug 09, 2012 - 07:23 I agree.. The Paradise is going POP on us!! |

| Dahlia_Gumbo (San Francisco) | Posted: Aug 07, 2012 - 16:05 I think this song resonates with me because of the context of the film. I recommend it. Weird, touching, true. |
| papajoe_aiea (Aiea, Hawaii) | Posted: Jun 22, 2012 - 18:34 Save Me from this song. |

| UltraNurd (Cambridge, MA) | Posted: Feb 01, 2012 - 07:55 Just saw the Portlandia episode featuring her... hilarious. She's got a dry wit delivery. |
| lemmoth (NYC) | Posted: Feb 01, 2012 - 07:55 Just saw Aimee live. She was great. This song was an obvious highlight. |
| ce (the Netherlands) | Posted: Oct 13, 2011 - 02:17 This song is absolutely fantastic in the film, it works great. On its own it's not really that special. |
| DaMoGan (Body on the east coast, Mind on the west coast.) | Posted: Sep 27, 2011 - 12:04 Well, I've gone from ho-hum to decent on this one, so I guess it has grown on me a bit. Don't think it'll get any higher than that for me though. |
| Baketown (Maryland) | Posted: Sep 27, 2011 - 12:02 I never get tired of hearing Aimee Mann |

I would however love to love someone that is not afraid of love. You know...a soulful love - healthy and happy. Oh Aimee...you are so talented and amazing. |
| errantpenny (where the fog breaks) | Posted: Jul 29, 2011 - 06:31 I just adore her voice. Her voice has so many colors in it (I know this sounds, regrettably, like some feedback you might hear on American Idol). |

| spacemoose | Posted: May 19, 2011 - 06:22 I really like this. I particularly like the line "save me from the ranks of the freaks who suspect they could never love anyone". I can really relate to that. At my wedding I made a spontaneous toast where I got up and thanked my wife for saving me from lonely future I had grown to expect. Won me big points with my wife's friends. This song always reminds me of that speach. |
| Jakamo | Posted: Apr 28, 2011 - 17:16 This one makes me turn down the volume every time it comes on the radio. Be it RP or the college station I listen to in my car. I just can't get use to the sound of her voice and lately RP has been giving me many opportunities. Maybe if RP played something else by Aimee I might start understanding her appeal, but this particular song is not doing it. |

Heard an interview with her on NPR — really nice. But she lamented she can't really push her voice to do anything special. It's pretty much always the same. Which is OK by me. |
| ick (The 619) | Posted: Mar 22, 2011 - 11:51 She was hilarious on an episode of Portlandia. |

| thekenshow (Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada) | Posted: Feb 24, 2011 - 15:36 Has this song become an RP test pattern or something? I liked this song once upon a time but I swear I hear it every other time I tune in (if that's in fact what one does online). I'm fast approaching the point of no return on this damn tune - stop, please stop! Just for a few months? :-) |
