Liz Phair - Combo Platter

She said that it′s probably a bad place to be
But it′s probably worse than Manhattan
Looks like shit and it feels like America
Looks like shit and it feels like America
Take the train right up to the zoo
Don′t look back on what you′ve been through
Cause everyone′s got a Monday
Looks like shit and it feels like America
Looks like shit and it feels like America
It′s nice to be liked
But it′s better by far to get paid
I know that most of the friends that I have
Don′t really see it that way
But if you could give em each one wish
How much do you want to bet
They′d wish success for themselves and their friends
And that would include lots of money
I would surely include lots of money
So if there are any of you little green elves
Sitting out there today
Step right up wish me old Irish luck
But I also need shitloads of money
And if there are any of you dirty rich old men
Sitting up there in the shade
Step right up I′m a (?) fuck
But I′m gonna need shitloads of money
I have got to have shitloads of money
I have got to have shitloads of money
(backwards part-"Johnny Sunshine", acoustic)
(new music and lyrics fade in)
You came over to my house
Didn′t even knock you just walked inside
and when I didn′t want to talk
You said, "Oh, god, I know all the bullshit"
Don′t be so in love with yourself (x3)
Cause I′m not
Don′t you know I′m not
And I said, "You′ve got a lot of nerve
Coming over here after all of the times that
You′ve tried to pull the wool over my eyes
and my ears and nose and mouth"
Don′t be so in love with yourself (x3)
Cause I′m not
Don′t you know I′m not
And I said, "You′ve got a lot of nerve
After all, it wasn′t me who left and now
you′re sleeping with that girl that you used
to say that you have always hated"
Don′t be so in love with yourself (x3)
Cause I′m not

Liz Phair - Good Love Never Dies (Alternate Mix)

For the rest of my days I want you by my side
Tell me what can I say to keep you in my life
′Cause I can never relax
I′ve got to keep it exciting
Make it attractive
Keep it alive
Keep you coming back
I′m always so frightened you′ll see through my act
When the fire is out and I′ve given up
You come running out, and you build it up

You tell me good love never dies
It only hurts when we burn our eyes
From staring too long at the sun
You gotta throw your hands up
And let the night come

Spoken: I like watching you out there. It′s comforting.

Tell me what can I say to keep you in my life
All the words slip away when I look in your eyes
Because I can never relax
I′ve got to keep it exciting
Make it attractive
Keep it alive
Keep you coming back
I′m already fighting to keep what I have
When the fire is out and I′ve given up
You come running out, and you build it up

You tell me good love never dies
It only hurts when we burn our eyes
From staring too long at the sun
You gotta throw your hands up
And let the night come
Take your chances

Liz Phair - Gunshy

Rifle in hand and two in the bush
Three count delay, I may need a little push
Take out the garbage on Tuesday nights
Seems like the small things are the only things I′ll fight
Seems like the small things are the only things I′ll fight

Gunshy, gunshy, gunshy, gunshy

See-monkeys, do-monkeys
Story of my life
Send three bucks to a comic book
Get a house, car and wife
Send three bucks to a comic book
Get a house, car and wife

(wife)

Gunshy, gunshy, gunshy, gunshy

Liz Phair - Everything (Between Us)

We have everything we need here
We have everything between us
You have nothing left to dear dear
Cause it ain′t never gonna leave us

We might get a room downtown now
Get away for a half day
We might drive our car down to the next town
Get away from our family

Let your body move real slow
Tell your body we left yesterday
Let your body hold me close
Let your body move you

We have everything we need here
We have everything between us
You have nothing left to fear dear
Cause it ain′t never gonna leave us

Let your body move real slow
Tell your body we left yesterday
Let your body hold me close
Let your body move you

Let your body move real slow
Tell your body we left yesterday
Let your body hold me close
Let your body move you

Let your body move you now
Tell your body we left yesterday
Let your body hold me close
Let your body move you

We have everything we need here

Liz Phair - H.W.C.

Give it to me, don′t give it away
Don′t think about what the others say
My skins getting clear, my hairs so bright
All you do is fuck me every day and night

You′re my secret beauty routine
Na, na, na, na, what my body has seen
I am lookin′ good and I′m feeling nice
Baby you′re the best magazine advice

Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum

I′m gonna pull you back down between the sheets
Everything is fresher when the day is sweet
In the morning light when you′re already on the phone

Face it, one of these days
Without you I′m just another Dorian Gray
It′s the fountain of youth
It′s the meaning of life
So hot, so sweet, so wet my appetite

Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum

Face it, one of these days
Without you I′m just another Dorian Gray
It′s the fountain of youth
It′s the meaning of life
Baby you′re the best magazine advice

Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum

Liz Phair - It′s Sweet

Down on the lower east side
In the dirtiest apartment you could find
You took me up to your place
But the elevator threw me into space

And I really didn′t even ask
What time it was
I could tell ′er we′d draw the curtain back

It′s sweet
How you believe
You′re in love with me
You′re in love with me

You come ′round, open the gate
To a million empty bottles on the sink
You can over think any thing you want
But it really doesn′t matter

′Cause it′s sweet
To believe
You′re in love with me
You′re in love with me

In the early night
I catch you starin′
And you make a joke about it

It′s sweet
How you believe
You′re in love with me
You′re in love with me

It′s sweet
How you believe
You′re in love with me

Liz Phair - Can′t Get Out Of What I′m Into

The things they say are getting harder to take
But I can′t get out of what I′m into
And the jokes they tell are meant to wish me well
But I can′t get out of what I′m into
′Cause it′s a steady job
And it′s the only thing that makes me money
And it gives me something to laugh about
′Cause my real life ain′t fucking funny
′Cause my real life ain′t fucking funny

The looks they give are starting to make me sick
But I can′t get out of what I′m into
And the lines they try might as well be from a guy
But I can′t get out of what I′m into
′Cause it′s a steady job
And it′s the only thing that makes me money
And it gives me something to cry about
′Cause my real life ain′t fucking funny
′Cause my real life ain′t fucking funny

Ooooh Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Ooooh Lord, why have you forsaken me?

The things I have to do would make a slut blush blue
But I can′t get out of what I′m into
I figure two more years, then I′ll go back to queers
But I can′t get out of what I′m into
′Cause it′s a steady job
And it′s the only thing that makes me money
And it gives me something to laugh about
′Cause my real life ain′t fucking funny

Ooooh Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Ooooh Lord, why have you forsaken me?
Ooooh Lord, ooooh Lord

Liz Phair - Girls′ Room

I′m sleeping in the girls′ room
I′m sleeping in the girls′ room
I′m sleeping in the sky
I′m sleeping in the water

I′m sleeping in the girls′ room
I′m sleeping in the girls′ room
I′m sleeping in the girls′ room tonight

Here comes Tiffany
My best friend, Tiffany
Wearing a size too small of sweater

Me and Tiffany
Dressing up pretty
We love to ride, we love to canter

My best friend Tiffany
She is so popular
We′re going from site to site and pool to pool tonight

And we hear Terry say that Tricia′s okay
But she ought to learn to shave her bikini line better
And Tauren was born, like her mother in a storm
And Tracey′s been away forever...

I′m sleeping in the girls′ room
I′m sleeping in the girls′ room
I′m sleeping in the sky
I′m sleeping in the water

I′m sleeping in the girls′ room
I′m sleeping in the girls′ room

Liz Phair - I Know It′s Not Easy

Call me when you think the coast is clear
I′ve been hiding out almost a year
Is there something wrong?
What′s taking you so long?
And yeah, I know it′s not easy

You said if I waited it′d pay off
But my eyes are growing wild and my body′s gone soft
Is there something wrong?
What′s taking you so long?
And yeah, I know it′s not easy

You said I should let go of your hand
But I don′t even know if I can
You′re the only one
You are the very sun to me
And you know it′s not easy

You′d tell me, wouldn′t you, if we needed to talk?
And you′d tell me, wouldn′t you, if I′d pissed you off?
Is there something wrong?
What′s taking you so long?
And yeah, I know it′s not easy

Well, I look at the stars and I know you′re under them
I look at the cars and I know you insure them
I look at the books and things people are reading
I know that you′ve written them, too
You′ve got so many little things to do
But then I look at my life and I know you′ve forgotten
The promise you made to me
I think that′s rotten
I′m hopelessly lost and there′s hardly a sound anymore
Coming through that can show me around
′Cause I′m endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd
Looking for something from you
Just one fucking measly clue
Any shitty little tip-off would do
But I′m just an ant in Alaska to you

Then I look at the stars and I know you′re under them
I look at the cars and I know you insure them
I look at the books and the things people are reading
I know that you′ve written them, too
You′ve got so many little things to do
But then I look at my life and I know you′ve forgotten
The promise you made to me
I think that′s rotten
I′m hopelessly lost and there′s hardly a sound anymore
Coming through that could show me around
′Cause I′m endlessly, endlessly searching the crowd
Looking for something from you
Just one fucking measly clue
Any shitty little tip-off would do
But I′m just and ant in Alaska to you
I′m just an ant in Alaska
An ant in Alaska

Liz Phair - Somebody′s Miracle

I′m so far, so far away from it now
That it seems like I may never know how
People stay in love for half of their lives
It′s a secret they keep between husbands and wives

Baby, There goes somebody′s miracle
Walking down the street
There goes some other fairy tale
I wish it could happen to me
But I look at myself
Wonderin′ if i′m just too weak
To have such faith in myself

Once upon a time I was so restless in love
When things we′re fine, I changed my mind just because
Now I see how wrong and reckless i′ve been
Each frog has a prince just waiting inside of him

Baby, There goes somebody′s miracle
Walking down the street
There goes some other fairy tale
I wish it could happen to me
But I look at myself, and I think what the hell
Maybe I′m just too naive
To have such faith in myself
You know I′m prayin′ for it

But the queen, she likes to sit on her throne
Doesn′t mean you two are never alone
It′s just love has needs that love only knows
Watch a couple stay close, It′s like the bloom of a rose

Baby, There goes somebody′s miracle
Walking down the street
There goes some other fairy tale
I wish it could happen to me
There goes somebody′s miracle
Walking down the street
There goes some other fairy tale...

I never cry out loud, I
I keep my tears to myself
But I woke up one day and I found my life had left me for someone else
I, I guess it must be unhappy with me

Baby, There goes somebody′s miracle
Walking down the street
There goes some other fairy tale
I wish it could happen to me
But I look at myself
Wondering if i′m just too weak
To have such faith in myself
You know I′m prayin for it
You know I′m prayin for it

Liz Phair - Hello, Sailor

Hello, sailor, buy you a drink?
Hello, sailor, tell me what do you think?
How was the big beach, how was the sand?
Did you fly an aeroplane, did you get a tan?
How does it feel to be back on American soil, hearing no blood for oil?

Hello, sailor, tell me what do you think?
Hello, sailor, will we get him next week?
How does it feel to be hated and loved back home?
I′m telling you, you should have known

That I′m a little despot, short and stout
Here is my handgun, here is my crowd control
When you tick me off then the bullets fly out
Because free love is a whole lot of bullshit
Free love is a whole lot of bullshit

Hello, sailor
Hello, sailor, buy you a smoke?
Hello, sailor, can I tell you a joke?
Knock knock, who′s there?
No, I′m just happy to see you
It′ll be a hundred if you come

Hello, sailor, tell me how does it feel
Hello, sailor, to be fighting for real?
Sailor, they got you coming and going
Sailor, look out ′cause your pussy is showing
How does it feel to be back on American soil, hearing no blood for oil?

I′m a little prostitute, I put out and sell
Here come the market monkeys with their little fontainelles
When they tip me over, they better tip me well
Because free love is a whole lot of bullshit
Free love is a whole lot of bullshit

Hello, sailor, buy you a fuck?
Hello, sailor, you had much more than luck
You had the US of army on your side
And that red, white, and pride

Hello, sailor, I mean women and men
Hello, sailor, you gonna be up for it again?
How does it feel to make shooting stars in the sky?
Was it a rush to almost die?

Hello, sailor
I said, "Hello, sailor."
How does it feel to be back on American soil, hearing no blood for oil?

I′m a little liberal, I′m stupid in doubt
Here is my platform, here is my holy roller
When you snow me under, I rock and roll you out
Because free love is a whole lot of bullshit
Free love is a whole lot of bullshit

Liz Phair - Miss Lucy

Miss Lucy had a steamboat
Miss Lucy had a steamboat
Miss Lucy had a steamboat
The steamboat had a bell
Miss Lucy went to Heaven
And her steamboat went to...

Hello operator
Can′t know my number
And if you disconnect me
I′ll cut off the...

Lyin′ by the refrigerator
There was a piece of glass
Miss Lucy fell upon it
And she cut her little...

Ask me no more questions
I′ll tell you no more lies
The boys in the parlor
Zipping down their flies
I′m in the meadows
The boys are in their pockets

And the boys and the girls, they are fucking
And the girls and the girls, they are fucking
And the girls and the boys, they are fucking
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark

Liz Phair - South Dakota

For a mean baby, well, I like your pants
Born in South Dakota
For a mean baby, well, I like your hips
Born in South Dakota
I was born in South Dakota

Man, I feel lucky tonight
I′m gonna get stoned and run around
Born in South Dakota
Hey, we′re going to a rodeo town
I′m gonna get drunk and fuck some cows
Born in South Dakota

I was born in South Dakota

Hey, all you city fucks, it′s a prairieman′s world

Masons and lumberchucks, says God as my squirrel
It′s wide open

Liz Phair - Don′t Have Time

Take a look around
This is what it′s now
It′s a little bridge now, baby
It′s a little bridge now
Just a photograph
Kinda makes me laugh
It′s a little kid now, baby
Some little kid

If I could solve your problems
What do you think I would be
One stupid seagull picking styrofoam up out of the sea?
Don′t have time
Don′t have time
Don′t have time for all your problems
Why don′t you solve them?

Take a look around
This is what it′s now
It′s a little bridge now, baby
It′s a little bridge now
Just a photograph
Kinda makes me laugh
It′s a little kid now
Pudgy, dumb little kid

If I could solve your problems
What do you think I would see?
All of my beautiful banquet receipts have been laid out for me
It′s been played out for me

Don′t have time for your fear, and your tea, and your queer little feats
And your joy, and your sweet little boy
And you′re trapped in your sphere
I′m sorry but no one′s home

I couldn′t hear you, and now I think I′ve lost you
I could′ve made it easier and you would think that′s good
Don′t remember feeling older any worse than feeling wooden and alone

Liz Phair - Why I Lie

If you ask me why I lie to you
I can tell you I don′t know myself
Its amazingly dishonest
But I′d have to recognize it
As part of myself

Straigthen up
Why can′t you straigthen up
I′ve heard you tell me this
So many times
It doesn′t even stick

I get it all the time
I get it all the time
You know I love to make
A joke of it

And if you ask me why I hurt you
I don′t understand it
I can′t help myself
Its a special combination
Of preditory instinct
And simple ill will

I would give some thought to it
If I thought that it might do me
Some good
Some good

Straigthen up
Why can′t you straigthen up
You always say I′ll lose
Control of it
And thirty is not too old

Well momma I would give some thought to it
If I thought that it might do me
Some good
Some good
Some good

Liz Phair - Got My Own Thing

I′ve got my own thing
Feel it, it is strong
The shortest people think
But really it is long

I don′t have to wait for a miracle
They say I′m pretty as a song
I don′t have to save for a rainy day
I know that something comes along, it always comes along

Ooh boy, I′d love to help give enough rope to hang yourself
And watch the silly things you do
Ooh boy, I′d love to help give enough rope to hang yourself
And I hope you swing it this way too
Boy, I do

I′ve got my own thing
Feel it in a room
Everybody changed
When I do what I do, Cause I do what I do

I don′t have to say what i′m thinking cause
Everyone′s radio is on and they′ve heard my latest song
Don′t have to stand there with a drink because
They say that we would get along, so let′s get along

Ooh boy, I′d love to help give enough rope to hang yourself
And watch the silly things you do
Ooh boy, I′d love to help give enough rope to hang yourself
And I hope you swing it this way too
Boy, I do

I know you′re not like other guys
I don′t expect you to normalize
I won′t get into what you do
Because I′m bettin, bettin, bettin, bettin, bettin all my money on you

I don′t have to wait for a miracle
They say I′m pretty as a song, they′ve heard my latest song
You don′t have to stand there with a drink because
I know that we would get along, so let′s just get along

Ooh boy, I′d love to help give enough rope to hang yourself
And watch the silly things you do
Ooh boy, I′d love to help give enough rope to hang yourself
And I hope you swing it this way too
Ooh boy, I′d love to help give enough rope to hang yourself
And watch the silly things you do
Ooh boy, I′d love to help give enough rope to hang yourself

Liz Phair - Wind In The Mountains

You lose your way
You′ve gotta land
You′ve gotta make another plan
But sometimes I am too tired

You′ve gotta smile
You′ve gotta play
You′ve gotta work another day
But sometimes I am too tired

You′ve gotta raise your hand
and say I don′t understand
But there are days when I′m too tired
There are days when I′m just too tired
And the wind that I′m in
Screams on me (screams on me)
Howls around me (howls around me)

And I feel like I am a naked man
I′ve got nothing and no one in a stranger′s land
And the wind will do me in

Everyday
You′ve gotta run
You′ve got a job
You get it done
But sometimes I am too tired

You wanna roll in the grass
Kick your shoes off
Have a laugh
But sometimes I am too tired

I wanna raise my hand
and say I don′t understand
But there are days when I′m too tired
There are days when I′m just too tired
And the wind kicks in again and says
Lean on me (lean on me)
Rise above me (rise above me)
And it says
Sailor don′t leave the channel now
Deep blue rollers are breaking across your bow
And the wind will guide you in

So I went up the mountain
But all I saw was another mountain
So I came down the mountain
And I said, leave me here lord
So I went up the mountain
But all I saw was anouther mountain
So I came down the mountain
And I said, leave me here lord
Leave me in the valley
Let me rest my weary head
Give peace to your survivor
Put all my fears to bed

You lose your way
You′ve gotta land
You′ve gotta make another plan
But sometimes I am inspired

You′re gonna sing another song
You′re gonna right another wrong
And sometimes I am inspired

You′re gonna raise your hand and say
I don′t understand
There are days when you get an answer

Liz Phair - Girls! Girls! Girls!

You′ve been around enough to know
That if I want to leave, you better let me go
Because I take full advantage of every man I meet
I get away almost every day
With what the girls call, what the girls call
What the girls call, the girls call murder

You′ve been around enough to see
That if you think you′re it, you better check with me
Because I take full advantage of every man I meet
I get away almost every day

Liz Phair - Six Dick Pimp

The six dick pimp is just doing his job
Making sure that business isn′t going under
He′s got the studs lined up in their stalls
Put a couple of bills in, you see six minutes of balls

Justine has got a plastic baggie on her dick
Cherry′s got a couple Prince Alberts through her prick
And nobody′s in number four and number six
Put a couple bills in, man, you really shouldn′t miss it

I don′t care how much time it takes
I don′t care what kind of money he makes
I just want my honey back
I′ll be on my way
You′re gonna gimme my boyfriend back

You thought you were smart
Thought I wouldn′t leave home
You rented a car, and now you′re halfway to Idaho
You thought you were smart
Thought I′d leave you alone
But you have no idea what kind of hell is coming down on you

I don′t care how much time it takes
I don′t care what kind of money he makes
I just want my honey back
I′ll be on my way
You′re gonna gimme my boyfriend back
You′re gonna gimme my boyfriend back

The six dick pimp is just doing his job
Making sure that business isn′t going under
He′s got the studs lined up in their stalls

Liz Phair - Baby Got Going

Baby got goin′ on a southern train, you know
Fired up the pistons driving below
And the whole vibration, seat upholstery
Silky underwear, oh conductor, let′s roll, roll, roll, roll
Let′s roll, roll, roll, roll, roll...!

Baby got goin′ but I can′t complain, you know
It knocks me out when she acts so strange, it′s like a
Big Mac truck cut across three lanes in my soul, conductor
Let′s throw some metal down, roll, roll, roll, roll

Squeeze her knees underneath a book, you know
A real good shakin′ is all it took
′Cause my baby′s hooked on me, and as you can see
I′m wild about her!

She got goin′ but I can′t complain, you know
It knocks me out when she acts so strange, it′s like a
Big Mac truck cut across three lanes in my soul, conductor, let′s roll...
Let′s roll, roll, roll, roll, roll...!
Let′s roll

She gets mad when it goes too slow, so I′m beggin′ you man
Keep a shovelin′ that coal and let′s roll!
Let′s roll, roll, roll, roll, roll...

Liz Phair - Love Is Nothing

You thought I was something from afar
You thought I′d totally excite you
I guess it′s just another thing to stand up close and ignite you

Love is nothing, nothing, nothing
Like they say...
You gotta pick up the little pieces every day

You were telling me the friends we have in common...
By the time I figured it out you were yawning

Love is nothing, nothing, nothing
Like they say
You gotta get up and work the people everyday

And I thought, "Who am I?
Who′s this guy?
Would I lie

Liz Phair - Batmobile

Fire up the batmobile, ′cause I gotta get outta here
I don′t speak the language
And you gave me no real choice
You gave me no real choice
You made me see that my behavior was an opinion

So fire up the batmobile, ′cause I gotta get outta here
It′s the mouth of the gift horse, I know
But I gave it my best shot
I gave it my best shot
I gave you the performance of a lifetime

So I hope you all will see
There just isn′t a place here for me
I look around and feel like somebody must be fucking with me
I just can′t take any of you seriously
And I can′t keep keeping myself company

Fire up the batmobile, ′cause I gotta get outta here
Big shoulders block the view
You can′t get your money back
You can′t get your money back
You can′t pretend that isolation is the same as privilege

So I hope you all will see
There just isn′t a place here for me
I look around and feel like somebody must be fucking with me
I just can′t take any of you seriously

Liz Phair - Flower

[high part:]
Everytime I see your face I get all wet between my legs
Everytime you pass me by, I heave a sigh of pain

[low part:]
Everytime I see your face I think of things unpure, unchaste
I want to fuck you like a dog
I′ll take you home and make you like it
Everything you ever wanted
Everything you ever thought of
Is everything I′ll do to you
I′ll fuck you and your minions, too
Your face reminds me of a flower
Kind of like you′re underwater
Hair′s too long and in your eyes
Your lips a perfect "suck me" size
You act like you′re fourteen years old
Everything you say is so obnoxious, funny, true and mean
I want to be your blowjob queen
You′re probably shy and introspective
That′s not part of my objective
I just want your fresh, young jimmy
Turning, slamming, ramming in me
Everytime I see your face I think of things unpure, unchaste
I want to fuck you like a dog
I′ll take you home and make you like it
Everything you ever wanted
Everything you ever thought of
Is everything I′ll do to you
I′ll fuck you till your dick is blue

Liz Phair - Johnny Feelgood

Johnny feel good, Johnny right on
Johnny miss you, Johnny light on
Johnny makes me feel strangely good about myself

Moderation is a memory
Dive right in and let him send me
I could take this in doses large enough to kill

I never met a man who was so pretty inside
He′s got diamonds on the bed of his thumbnails and I
Never realized I was so dirty and dry
′Til he knocked me down, started dragging me around in the
Back of his convertible car...

And I liked it
I liked it more and more
Crimson and Clover, soon he′s taken over all my senses

He′s got petals on the bed of his sweat sock drawer
And who the fuck am I to criticize him
′Cause I really need him now, in fact
I′m kinda freaking out
And I′m wondering where the hell you all are...

I′ve never met a man I was so crazy about
It kinda has become an obsession to me
I hate him all the time, but I still get up
When he knocks me down and he orders me around
′Cause it loosens me up
And I can′t get enough
And I′d pay to spend the night with him
Some more!

′Cause I liked it...

Liz Phair - One Less Thing

I took my dog to the vet today
He gave her a shot and put her away
And when I got home and got ready for bed, I realized what I′d done
And that′s one less thing on my mind

I left the man I′m in love with behind
I moved to Chicago and told him I′d write
But now when I wake and I see the wrong face I realize what I′ve done
And that′s one less thing on my mind

Did you think that I knew what I was doing
When I said that I had to grow up on my own for a while?
Now I′m dog-less and loveless and cold in a midwestern winter
If I′d known what I was doing I sure as fuck wouldn′t be here

Now I like to think that I like to learn from mistakes
But I′ve made that error in judgment one too many times
And I′m not the wiser and sure not the wealthier
I wish to God that I had′ve been healthier mentally
When I decided to make up my own mind
But that′s one less thing that takes up my time

Well, I′m lining up six or seven good jobs
My hair′s looking great and my friends are all snobs
But I don′t have my man and I don′t have my dog
And I don′t have very much fun

Liz Phair - Shitloads Of Money

Louis is probably thirty years old but he looks like a solid 45
Louis says he′s got a headache
I look in his eyes, and I believe him
The big L.K.′s and the gangster disciples
Louis can′t think of who else could take over, but he just can′t
Get up in the morning
A genuine face, braced for survival

It′s nice to be liked
But it′s better by far to get paid
I know that most of the friends that I have don′t really see it
That way
But if you could give ′em each one wish
How much do you wanna bet
They′d wish success for themselves and their friends and
That would include lots of money

Don′t know how many times you were stuck in the morning
You just couldn′t move, though your mother was calling
You know, what you need
Is a Lotto revival
A train flashes by and you′re lost in a spiral

It′s nice to be liked
But it′s better by far to get paid
I know that most of the friends that I have don′t really see it
That way
But if you could give ′em each one wish
How much do you wanna bet
They′d wish success for themselves and their friends and
That would include lots of money

Take the train on up to the zoo, don′t look back
On what you′ve been through
Cause everyone′s got a Monday
It looks like shit and it must be America
It burns so quick, then it must be America

It′s nice to be liked
But it′s better by far to get paid
I know that most of the friends that I have don′t really see it
That way
But if you could give ′em each one wish
How much do you wanna bet
They′d wish success for themselves and their friends and
That would include lots of money

Liz Phair - Uncle Alvarez

There′s a portrait of Uncle Alvarez
Hangin′ in the hall
Nobody wants to look at it
But Uncle Alvarez sees us all

Oh, oh, oh, imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of Presidents
Better send a postcard and keep the family quiet

He′s not really a part Cherokee Indian
He didn′t fight in the Civil War
He′s just Eugene Isaac Alvarez
We feel sorry for the wall

Oh, oh, oh, imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of Presidents
You′re gonna make ′em sorry when you die

And it′s a long way down
You′re hoping for a heart attack
Runnin′ around
Investing in this and that
And your beautiful wife keeps your life on a shelf for you
Safe in the bedroom
Where there′s no dust or mildew
And it′s hard to believe you were once a beautiful dancer

Better just to shake it off
As you write your resume
Don′t think of Uncle Alvarez
And the price he had to pay

Oh, oh, oh, imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of Presidents
You′re gonna make ′em sorry when you die

Oh, oh, oh, imaginary accomplishments
Hey, hey, hey, you visionary guy
You might even shake the hands of Presidents

Liz Phair - Support System

I don′t need a support system
Lifting me into prop position
What I need is a man of action
I need my attraction to you
Driving me down all those dangerous avenues
Lions and tigers tearing at their food

I know the gossip flies around at breakfast
One of them reins is in your hand
Where do you get the fuck off thinking I was there at the party
′Cause all my friends feed me the evil reasons
Why you and I should not be friends?
Let′s think this whole thing through
Tell me, just what the hell is a lover supposed to do?
I got the wrong reaction, a slap in the face from you

This is such a stupid picture
Wrap me in a steak
Why don′t you throw me in the panther cage
And maybe then I′ll like you better
(No way!)

I don′t need a support system
Lifting me into prop position
What they make is a separation of beauty from attitude
What satisfaction is left when all you do
Tells everyone you′re acting untrue?

This is such a stupid picture
Light a cigarette
Why don′t you stub it in the carborateur
And maybe then you′ll sell me something
(No way!)

I don′t need a support system
Put your hand on my heart and listen
What I need is a dedication to last me all the way through
Pointing the finger, I′m counting on loving you
Over and above the passion

Liz Phair - X-Ray Man

(What I sense...)

As far as I know, baby, you can see
As far as I go, funky baby, digging deep inside of me
(Uh uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh...)

As far as I know, sister, I′m alright
As far as I know, funky lady, I′m coming home tonight
(You can see through the smoke...)

You′re an x-ray man
You got x-ray eyes
This is no reflection on you, it′s just what I see inside of me
(Why don′t you put on your two-way sombrero and leave?)

(Uh uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh...)

You′re an x-ray man
And you got white-wall tires
Iodine tan
Cheap, unpleasant desires

You′re an x-ray man
You′ve got an X-rated mind
You′re not satisfied looking at me
You′re always checking out the girl behind

You′re an x-ray man

Liz Phair - Leap Of Innocence

I saw John, he looked so sad
I want you to know that I feel bad for not making our dreams come true.
We had so many dreams, me and you
I want you to know I love you.
You′re my favorite thing from the past,
And all of those nights we spent together,
I never had such a blast.

Anyone could tell you were my instrument, he said I understand you
You wanna play me
Everything about us had an innocence, but everything around us was changing

It′s hard to believe so much happened so fast
Remember the way we′d always laugh
While thinking of the things you do
We were kings of the world, me and you
I wish it has stayed like that forever
But everyone was dropping off like flies
I had so many friends in rehab,
A couple who practically died

Anyone could tell you were my instrument, he said I understand you
You wanna play me
Everything about us had an innocence, but everything around us was changing

And my mistake was being already married
I wanna make a leap of innocence to you

I guess when you were living the high life
It′s one of those things that just can′t last
Kind of like love in California
But I never had such a blast

Anyone could tell you were my instrument, he said I understand you
You wanna play me
Everything about us had an innocence, but everything around us was changing

And my mistake is thinking I′d already made it
I wanna make a leap of innocence
My mistake is thinking that you would change it

Liz Phair - Table For One

I′m walking down in the basement
I′m leaning on the washing machine
I′m reaching back through a hole in the wall′s insulation
I′m pulling out a bottle of vodka
Replacing that with a pint of Jim Bean
I′m lying down on the floor until I feel better

It′s morning and I pour myself coffee
I drink it til the kitchen stops shaking
I′m backing out of the driveway
And into creation

And the loving spirit that follows me
Watching helplessly, will always forgive me

Oh, I want to die alone
With my sympathy beside me
I want to bring down all those demons who drank with me
Feasting bleed through me
On my desperation

I hide all the bottles in places
They find and confront me with pain in their eyes
And I promise that I′ll make some changes

But reaching back it occurs to me
There will always be some kind of crisis for me

Oh, I want to die alone
With my sympathy beside me
I want to bring back all those moments they stole from me
In my reverie
Darkening days end

Oh, I want to die alone
With my memories inside me
I want to live that life
When I could say people had faith in me
I still see that guy in my memory

Oh, I want to die alone
With my sympathy beside me
I want to bring down all those people who drank with me
Watching happily

Liz Phair - Friend Of Mine

Not a lot of patience
You′re not a patient man
Don′t have a heart to stay with
You get it while you can
Just because you can
Get out of it

And I wasted your time, didn′t I and
That that′s the reason we fight all the time
It′s been so long since you′ve been a friend of mine

Gonna take a vacation
Stop chasing what I lack
Am I gonna get blown off
As soon as I get back
On another track
Without you

′Cause I don′t have the heart to try
One more false start in life
It′s been so hard to get it right
Seems like the moment I catch up
The farther you fly

And I wasted your time, didn′t I and
That that′s the reason we fight all the time
It′s been so long since you′ve been a friend of mine

And I wasted your time, didn′t I
And that′s the reason we fight all the time
It′s been so long since you′ve been a friend to me
It seems like I dreamed and now I′m waking up to daylight
What happened, when did you let go of me
I miss you so badly

Liz Phair - Go West

Safe on the interstate
New York is three thousand miles away
And I′m not looking forward to following through
But it′s better than always running back into you
I′ve closed my eyes and my bank account
And gone west, young man

Take off the parking brake
Go coasting into a different state
And I′m not looking forward to missing you
But I must have something better to do
I′ve got to tear my life apart
And go west, young man

And it feels like I′ve got something to prove
But in some ways it′s just something to do
My friends turn me around and say,
"You go west, young man."

Stepping down off my platform shoes
Sixty-nine in the afternoon
And I′m waiting for someone in the know
Like Pirner tells me on the radio
Says "Take it from someone who′s been there before,
You go west, young man."

And I′m looking for somebody to do my thinking for me
Till I come through
The state-line highway sign says,
"You have gone west, young man."

And it feels like I′ve got something to prove
But in some ways it′s just something to do
The state-line highway sign says,

Liz Phair - Carnivore

(from the Carnivore 7" single)

You′ve told me maybe a thousand times
A smart girl would′ve recognized
There isn′t any business in the street

But some nights, Daddy
I catch you wrapped up tight like a sleeping bag
You′re softly twisting a pinata suspended out of reach

But I know with one good slap
I could take care of that
But who wants to loose the beast of spring?

I guess it started off slow
But it′s picking up speed
And it′s gaining on me
Like a carnivore

Daylight catches me by surprise
Almost every night
And kicks my way another hole to sleep

I guess it started off slow
But it′s picking up speed
And it′s gaining on me

Liz Phair - Dance Of The Seven Veils

Johnny, my love, get out of the business
It makes me wanna rough you up so badly
Makes me wanna roll you up in plastic
Toss you up and pump you full of lead

Johnny, my love, get out of the business
The odds are getting fatter by the minute
That I have got a bright and shiny platter
And I am gonna get your heavy head

I only ask because I′m a real cunt in spring
You can rent me by the hour
I know all about the ugly pilgrim thing
Entertainers bring May flowers

So Johnny, my love, we got us a witness
Now all we gotta do is get a preacher
He can probably skip the "until death" part
′Cause Johnny, my love, you′re already dead

I only ask because I′m a real cunt in spring
You can rent me by the hour
I know all about the ugly pilgrim thing
Entertainers bring May flowers

He′s got a really big tongue
It rolls way out
Snaking around in the club
It slicks you down
Scratching his face like a bum

Circa nineteen-eighty-one

You are, you are shining some glory
You are, you are shining some glory
On me, on me
You are, you are shining some glory

Liz Phair - Jealousy

He′s got a million dollar car
He′s got a thirty-seven year old guitar
He′s got a family who deals heroin
You′re on the edge of your chair
And you feel it
He′s looking at you, he′s laughing at you
It′s happening

I can′t, I can′t believe it
But it′s here on the pages I′m reading
It′s all I can do to conceal my feelings of jealousy
Jealousy

I know it′s just a drawer of photographs
They′re ex-girlfriends, I try to remember that
I don′t wanna look, but I′m already hooked on jealousy
Jealousy

I can′t believe you had a life before me
I can′t believe they let you run around free
Just putting your body wherever it seemed like a good idea
What a good idea

Standing on the corner watching the ladies pass by
Imagining me behind your eyes
And what did I see?
I saw hips, I saw thighs
I saw secret positions that we never try
I saw jealousy
I saw jealousy

I can′t, I can′t believe it
But it′s here in this place and I see it
It′s all I can do to conceal my feelings of jealousy
Jealousy

Standing on the mudflats watching the salmon fly
Wonder if I′ll ever bury the hatchet inside
Imagining me behind your eyes
And what did I see?
I saw hips, I saw thighs
I saw secret positions that we never try
I saw jealousy
I saw jealousy

I can′t believe you had a life before me
I can′t believe they let you run around free
Just putting your body wherever it seemed like a good idea

Liz Phair - Wild Thing

Wild thing
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it, wild thing

There′s hardly a man left around that you haven′t sought out
There′s hardly a dress shop in town that you haven′t bought out
In case you′re wondering why the hair salon wouldn′t take you
There′s hardly a woman left in any state that doesn′t hate you

Wild thing
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it, wild thing
It′s truly awesome

When she was younger she thought her mother had missed her calling
And she, in turn, thought that her daughter′s conduct was appalling
After each date she had the boys, went home and dreamed of spiders
She never fell for any man who wasn′t rich as Midas

Wild thing
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it, wild thing
It′s truly awesome

If there′s a lesson to be learned then I′m sure I don′t know it
We′ve all been waiting twenty years to see her finally blow it
But as far as I can tell she′s happy, rich, and worry-free
And that′s a hell of a lot more than I can say for me

Wild thing
You made the boys spring
You made everything expensive
Spend it, spend it wild thing

Wild thing
You made your heart sing
You bought everything you wanted
Spend it, spend it, wild thing
It was truly awesome

Liz Phair - If I Ever Pay You Back

I don′t have what it takes to stay with you
And I′m leaving in under ten days, it′s not what I′d planned
But anyway, you know, by and large anywhere I go
I won′t find anyone who loves me enough to make you look bad

All the cars on the road are driving away from here
But I′m still looking under my nose to see who I am
But anywhere I go, standing at any kind of show
I won′t find anyone who′ll tell me what I need to know
That′s not how it′s done

But anyway, you know, by and large anywhere I go
I won′t find anyone who loves me enough

If I ever pay you back
If my money and wallet′s intact
I′ll probably be in a box lying down
Loosely suited in black

You think that I go home at night
Take off my clothes, turn out the lights
But I burn letters that I write
To you, to make you love me

Yeah, I drive naked through the park
And run the stop sign in the dark
Stand in the street, yell out my heart
To make, to make you love me

I am extraordinary, if you′d ever get to know me
I am extraordinary, I am just your ordinary
Average every day sane psycho
Supergoddess

You may not believe in me
But I believe in you
So I still take the trash out
Does that make me too normal for you?

So dig a little deeper, cause
You still don′t get it yet
See me lickin′ my lips, need a primitive fix
And I′ll make, I′ll make you love me

I am extraordinary, if you′d ever get to know me
I am extraordinary, I am just your ordinary
Average every day sane psycho

See me jump through hoops for you
You stand there watching me performing

Have you ever thought it′s you that′s boring?
Who the hell are you?

To a certain bartender I′m lucky to know
I asked Henry my bartending friend
If I should go on dating unfamous men

And Henry said
You′re lucky to even know me

You′re lucky to be drinking here for free
Cause I′m a sucker for your lucky pretty eyes

And then he said
Do ya wanna be a polyester bride

Do ya wanna find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale
Do ya wanna flap your wings and fly
Away from here

Keep on pushing harder
I keep on pushing farther away
He keeps telling me maybe

Okay, this guy walks into a bar

So they′re standing on top of this hill, right?

Whole fucking pasture
And the young bull turns to the old bull, and he goes,

And they old bull′s like, "Yeah?"

And I tried to tell you before
That that′s why I left California

"Yeah," he′s like, "yeah, yeah, I got this really good idea.

He′s like, "Look, I got a better idea."

Watching me work so hard to reach you
You never gave a damn
About all of those things I did to please you

All that you wanted, you found somewhere else
And nothing could drag you away from yourself

Do you really know me at all?
Would you take the time to catch me if I fall?
Are you ever gonna be that real to me?
Everything to me

Lucky I′ve been through hell
Backroads and shortcuts I know them well
Baby just stick with me
We′ll make it together, just wait and see

Do you really know me at all?
Would you take the time to catch me if I fall?
Are you ever gonna be that real to me?
Everything to me

The walls they close in
The air it goes out
We′re left with nothing but a shadow of doubt
Nobody talks, no one is here
It′s just you and me

Do you really know me at all?
Would you take the time to catch me if I fall?
Are you ever gonna be that real to me?
Everything to me

Liz Phair - Red Light Fever

I′m wide awake in the dark
Tryin′ to figure out where you are
Always goin′ nowhere
′Fraid of goin′ somewhere
Somewhere′s a place in your heart

Sometimes when I think about you
Why you′re always running away
Sitting in your car
Changing who you are
Drowning the thoughts of you like in the music

Scared the lights will turn green
You′ll have to be seen
You′ll be like anybody else
Scared the lights will turn red
You′re stuck in your head
You can′t run it to even her
How you gonna get through the year
You can′t

Playin′ on the sides of the night
Too many people want too many things
And you ?? to forget

Scared the lights will turn green
You′ll have to be seen
You′ll be like anybody else
Scared the lights will turn red
You′re stuck in your head
Too scared to commit to even her
How you gonna make it through

You′re always listenin′
You′re always listenin′
You′re always listenin′
To yourself

You′re always thinkin′
You′re always thinkin′
You knew what everybody else
Should do with their lives

I′m wide awake in the dark
Tryin′ to figure out where you are
Always goin′ nowhere
′Fraid of goin′ somewhere
And somewhere′s a place in your heart
Somewhere′s a place in your heart

Scared the lights will turn green
You′ll have to be seen

I think you′re trying to scare me
So that I will stop thinking about you
I think you′re trying to scare me
So that I will stop trying to be you
It′s not that easy
It′s not that easy

I laughed when I heard you died
′Cause I didn′t know what else I was gonna do
Now I laugh when I see you alive
′Cause I think you′re just pulling my leg
It′s not that easy
It′s not that easy

Well, it must have taken a whole lot of anger
And it must have taken a whole lot of time
And I can′t believe that you found me after all these years
I guess you must have something heavy on your mind

And I can′t believe that you thought I′d be happy
To see you up and around, like it′s any warning
You look like shit, and the smell is even better
And I feel like shit, and I wanna go back to bed

You can walk through walls
You can make the head on a doll spin around
And you can haunt the halls
But you can′t ask me to make you feel at home
It′s not that easy

Liz Phair - Firewalker

My hopes are like embers lying around inside a firebed and
Your mind is a firewalker, it steps on them like they are dead but

I can grow
In spite of all you know
You might not recognize me tomorrow
Yes I can change
In spite of all they say
Become something strange and beautiful
Like joy, like joy

Me, I′m like a wild flame that catches on whatever′s near but
Your mind is a firewalker, it sets its course and never veers but

I can grow
In spite of all you know
You might not recognize me tomorrow
Yes I can change
In spite of all they say
Become something strange and beautiful
Like joy, like joy

Take offers from every side and give my attentions about anywhere well
Do I recognize my actions, I look like I′m so unaware like
I don′t care

But I can grow
In spite of all you know
You might not recognize me tomorrow
Yes I can change
In spite of all they say
Become something strange and beautiful

Liz Phair - Stratford-On-Guy

I was flying into Chicago at night
Watching the lake turn the sky into blue-green smoke
The sun was setting to the left of the plane
And the cabin was filled with an unearthly glow
In 27-D, I was behind the wing
Watching landscape roll out like credits on a screen

The earth looked like it was lit from within
Like a poorly assembled electrical ball
As we moved out of the farmlands into the grid
The plan of a city was all that you saw
And all of these people sitting totally still
As the ground raced beneath them, thirty-thousand feet down

It took an hour, maybe a day
But once I really listened the noise just fell away

And I was pretending that I was in a Galaxie 500 video
The stewardess came back and checked on my drink
In the last strings of sunlight, a Brigitte Bardot
As I had on my headphones
Along with those eyes that you get
When your circumstance is movie-size

It took an hour, maybe a day
But once I really listened the noise just fell away

It took an hour, maybe a day
But once I really listened the noise just fell away

Liz Phair - Dogs Of L.A.

The canyon air is like a breath of fresh L.A.
I was a Star Trek crew member, with my Beatle boots and my Super-8
And I raced you to the top, the camera gets a stuttered shot
Of me approaching a painted shrine
I kissed the Buddah and made him cry
I kissed the Buddah and made him cry
Georgie, I′m your friend
And the shit-brown reservoir is a testament to the dogs of L.A.
They hold the place like the mafia, and say, "Run me around again."

The sawed-off tree trunks stand among the living palms
You were beaming as I focused in, and I panned along
And I raced you to the top, kicking snakes up from dusty rocks
Young Abe Vigoda plays Frankenstein
I kissed the Buddah and made him cry
I kissed the Buddah and made him cry
Georgie, I′m your friend
And the shit-brown reservoir is a testament to the dogs of L.A.
They hold the place like the mafia, and say, "Run me around again,
I wanna go again."

The shit-brown reservoir is a testament to the dogs of L.A.

Liz Phair - Giving It All To You

They can say what they want
But I don′t hear thing cause
They can′t read my thoughts
Or the secrets between
All of this time you where apart of me
Shining like a star in my galaxy

And I reach out trusting you there
Its like walking on a high wire into thin air
And I′m waking up to the dream
Its like bouncing so high on a trampoline
And I know that there′s one thing
Between me and nothing
Baby, you are that something that pulls me through
So I′m giving it all to you
Giving it all to you

Could it be you and me
Can′t stop thinking about
All of the crazy possibilities
I don′t want to keep my feelings locked inside
Everytime I see you you just blow my mind

And I reach out trusting you there
Its like walking on a high wire into thin air
And I′m waking up to the dream
Its like bouncing so high on a trampoline
And I know that there′s one thing
Between me and nothing
Baby, you are that something that pulls me through
So I′m giving it all to you
I′m giving it

Others have tried to get to me
But I see through them eventually
Cause you′re the only one that I wanna be with
Giving it all to you
Giving it all

Everytime I see you all my systems align
You explode on my just like a meteorite

And I reach out trusting you there
Its like walking on a high wire into thin air
And I′m waking up to the dream
Its like bouncing so high on a trampoline
And I know that there′s one thing
Between me and nothing
Baby, you are that something that pulls me through
So I′m giving it all to you

I know that there′s one thing
I know that there′s one thing
Baby you are that something that pulls me through
So I′m giving it all to you
Giving it all to you

Could it be you and me
Can′t stop thinking about

Liz Phair - Ride

As I stumble into bed, I curse the devil in my head
And if I die before I wake, I hope the Lord won′t hesitate
To pluck my coffin from the ground
He need not heed the neighbors now
And throw me up for all to see the flies of
August swarming me...

I get a ride
Right by your side
Under your skin
I′m digging in

Well, I don′t know, but I′ve been told
The road to heaven is paved with gold
And if I die before I wake, I need a ride
From you

I get a ride
Right by your side
Under your skin
I′m digging in

Well, sticks and stones can break my bones
And boys can make me kick and moan
But when I want it, I don′t drive, I get a ride
I get a ride
From you

I get a ride 98.5 Positive T-cell Regeneration
