Oh, so it's about
your guitar.
Whatever man.
"mahgeetah" is a phonetically spelled version of the words "my guitar". "mah" = my, "geetah" = guitar. Jim is singing about his guitar.
I don't understand what you mean by that....Phonetically......is that some greek word or something???
Its not til i realized he says mahgeetah in the song that i understood what it meant

I hear a bunch of thier music is that way.
Why would Jim sing about my guitar? I don't even have a guitar. You guys are idiots.
my guitar = [mah:geetah:]
Wait...Jim is singing about My Guitar? Rad.
While magheetah gently weeps...
he's singing about a guitar, possibly his.

considering it took me 6 live shows, listening to it countless times on disc and never hearing him singing mahgeetah, to figure it out?
yes :-/
Now if I could just figure out what the hell he's singing at the end of Steam Engine.........I know that day will come and when it does I'm fairly certain that the truth about our place in the Universe will be revealed to me and at that moment the sky will part and a flood of purple rain will pour down upon me and God will sing "Purple Rain.........PURPLE RAIN!!!!!" and all will be right.

Tom's beard backwards over and over and over and over and...
I heard thru the grapevine that Jim wrote a song for an upcoming solo album called Mahmneekord.
Maybe he is Guided by Voices
Bee Thousands, Bee Thousands....
