Marvin, I Love You (Song Lyrics)

2 Conversations

Hey everyone, this is the lyrics to a very, very, very sad song about Marvin, and it is possibly the saddest song I have ever heard in my life. It's by Adams/Moore/Sinclair.

"Long ago, in another galaxy, there lived a gloomy robot. His name was Marvin. He was getting old and a bit rusty, and nobody liked him. One day, being very bored, he thought it would be a good idea to tidy up all his old programs in his dusty old databank. There were tapes in there that he hadn't played for years. Checking them through, he accidentally pressed a wrong button and suddenly he heard:

'Marvin, I love you..
Marvin, I love you..'

Well, he was sure he hadn't heard that ever before, and he wasn't even sure he'd heard it THAT time, because, being a bored and gloomy robot, he hadn't really been listening. What was worse, he couldn't remember what button he'd accidentally pressed. Anyway, he tried a few switches at random, and suddenly:

(Chorus)
'Marvin I love you..
Marvin I love you..
Remember, I'm programmed for you..
I know we're worlds apart,
Still you could break my heart,
Loving you is all I can do..'

Well, he heard it that time alright, no doubt about it! Who was singing these strange words? Was it another robot, or some strange life form from the distant past, when he was a young robot and people still made the occassional attempt to like him? He couldn't make it out at all. So he pushed a few buttons again:

'Marvin I love you..
Marvin I love you..'

That was it.

'I've tried to contact you Marvin
I don't know why, but you never replied.
Perhaps one day you'll answer,
But until then I guess I'll keep on trying."

-Chorus-

"That does not compute," he thought miserably. But at least he knew where to find it in his databank. From then on, he could play it whenever he wanted, think about what he'd missed, and live, miserably, ever after.

-Chorus-"

Isn't that the most sad song you have ever heard? I really hope Marvin found whoever it was that loved him in the end... I hope you do to. Let's all wish Marvin good luck with his journey, and may he some day find happiness.
