About

While the Magnetic Fields were critically lauded during the 1990s, they were notably commercially unsuccessful. Merritt lived in poverty until the success of 69 Love Songs propelled him to, if not stardom, at least a respectable level of fame.

’94 Haven’t Got a Penny Lyrics

[Chorus]
I haven't got a penny to my name
And I'm all alone in this city
Cause I haven't got a penny to my name
I could sell myself if I was pretty

[Verse 1]
I'll die alone
No one will mourn
I wish I'd known
And not been born

[Chorus]
Cause I haven't got a penny to my name
And I've alienated everybody
And I'll never have a penny to my name
I'm a thirty-year-old fuddy-duddy

[Verse 2]
When I was eight
My mom displayed
Our only dollar
We had it made!
Now I haven't got a penny to my name

[Outro]
I wish, I wish
I'd not been born
[repeat as it fades out]
