Will You Come And Fetch Me?

Of Montreal · Satanic Panic in the Attic [2004]

I was gazing in your eyes

seeing butterflies melting on the wall

Strangest thing I saw

clever little guys wonderful surprise



Will you come and fetch me girl from the brink?

I'm starting to kink and I'm too numb to think

If this nightmare can't be stopped

Go out and find me when I'm dropped



Onto a bail of hay looking the other way

from noncoms in machines squeezing tangerines

emitting horrid cries wonderful surprise

Will You Come And Fetch Me?

Of Montreal's 'Will You Come And Fetch Me?' is a standout track from their 2004 album 'Satanic Panic in the Attic,' exemplifying the band's signature blend of indie rock and shoegaze. The song features the group's characteristic layered guitars, ethereal vocals, and melodic sensibilities that defined their mid-2000s output. Released during a period when the band was refining their sound beyond their earlier post-punk roots, the recording showcases their ability to create atmospheric, emotionally resonant music. It remains a representative piece of their discography, capturing the raw energy and melodic hooks that made them a prominent force in the indie scene of that era.
