The Blue of Your Eyes Was Infinite

It's well-known to a few that "I Don't Believe You" by the Magnetic Fields is one of my favorite songs. And more than once (or twice, or thrice) I'vereferred to the lyric, "So you're brilliant, gorgeous and ampersand after ampersand". But today the lyric in it that's really hitting me is, "I had a dream and you were in it, the blue of your eyes was infinite, you seemed to be in love with me, which isn't very realistic". It's remarkable that a guy who's written so many of the prettiest melodies of the last several years so often attaches them to some of the most depressing, resigned and/or cutting lyrics in the world of "indie" music.
