Matt Mahaffey on the writing of “Better Than Aliens”:
I just sat down at the electric piano and started writing a pretty little love song. I was listening to a lot of ELO, and I wanted to have a Jeff Lynne harmony thing. It’s a really sappy song. I could’ve said, “Your love is better than life itse...
[Verse 1]
They married young, she became a widow
And for all of her bingo friends, ditto
She succumbed to ordinary jive, and was miserable
Tired of waiting for her ship and captain
Too afraid that the prior would happen
Fell in love with an ordinary guy, who was dressed in drag
[Chorus]
Your love's better than aliens tonight
Your love's better than aliens tonight
Your love's better than aliens tonight
Your love's better than anything that I like a lot
[Post-Chorus]
How can you bury your head so deep in the bed?
(And pillowcase?)
Girl, there's no oxygen
[Verse 2]
Shortly after, the waves came crashing in
She moved on to find bigger fish to swim with
In the lonely, lonely November night
She was abducted on sight, based on her principles
[Chorus]
Your love's better than aliens tonight
Your love's better than aliens tonight
Your love's better than aliens tonight
Your love's better than everything that I like
Better Than Aliens was written by Matt Mahaffey.
