Liz Phair - Perfect World

What a pretty life you have
Oh boy, it′s a pretty life
And I would need a map
Just so I could navigate the back yard

Home is very ordinary
I know I was born to lead a double life
Of murder, strife, and misery
And when I find it, I know I′ll make sense of me

I want to be cool, tall, vulnerable, and luscious
I would have it all if I′d only had this much
No need for Lucifer to fall if he′d learn to keep his mouth shut
I would be involved with you

I know the girls
That live inside your world
Just sitting next to a mortal makes their skin crawl

I want to be cool, tall, vulnerable, and luscious
I would have it all if I only had this much
No need for Lucifer to fall if he′s learn to keep his mouth shut
I would be involved with you...

Liz Phair - Fuck And Run

I woke up alarmed
I didn′t know where I was at first
Just that I woke up in your arms
And almost immediately I felt sorry
′Cause I didn′t think this would happen again
No matter what I could do or say
Just that I didn′t think this would happen again
With or without my best intentions

And whatever happened to a boyfriend
The kind of guy who tries to win you over?
And whatever happened to a boyfriend
The kind of guy who makes love ′cause he′s in it?

And I want a boyfriend
I want a boyfriend
I want all that stupid old shit
Like letters and sodas
Letters and sodas

You got up out of bed
You said you had a lot of work to do
But I heard the rest in your head
And almost immediately I felt sorry
′Cause I didn′t think this would happen again
No matter what I could do or say
Just that I didn′t think this would happen again
With or without my best intentions

And I want a boyfriend
I want a boyfriend
I want all that stupid old shit
Like letters and sodas
Letters and sodas

I can feel it in my bones
I′m gonna spend another year alone
It′s fuck and run, fuck and run
Even when I was seventeen
Fuck and run, fuck and run
Even when I was twelve

You almost felt bad
You said that I should call you up
But I knew much better than that
And almost immediately I felt sorry
′Cause I didn′t think this would happen again
No matter what I could do or say
Just that I didn′t think this would happen again
With or without my best intentions

And I can feel it in my bones
I′m gonna spend my whole life alone
It′s fuck and run, fuck and run
Even when I was seventeen
Fuck and run, fuck and run

Liz Phair - May Queen

Don′t be fooled by him, he′s fine
Rock-and-roll Ken doll, he′s a national end-all
He′s an off and on friend of mine

Where have I been?
Got any what?
Who have I seen?
I spy a May queen
You were miles above me
Girls in your arms
The changing of her majesty′s guard is truly amazing

Got any what?
Disease, hashish, a mind?
Do I have any what?

Where have I been?
Got any what?
Who have I seen?
I spy a May queen
You were miles above me
Girls in your arms

Liz Phair - White Chocolate Space Egg

Orange and blue, green and pink
I see you in everything...

Don′t need money, don′t need wine
I′ve got better ways to spend my time

I′ll see you around
Every hollow has its favorite sound
And my heart is holding on...

Purple, yellow, reddish brown
Once I felt you, I couldn′t lay you down

Don′t be shy, baby, don′t be careful with me
Let it go, let it soak me down

Every rock and tree and leaf abound with your face
Your face, your face...
Trace...
Don′t tell me I′ve been wrong...
Don′t tell me all the magic′s gone

Every corner has its favorite clown

Liz Phair - Big Tall Man

I′m a big, tall man
I cut the grass
My left eye hurts
I am waiting and reading parts
I can be a complicated communicator

Yes, I′m winning, spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Zeus and Athens
Florida driveway
Asphalt and tires
Sand and the beach
Rocker panel
Headlights in the dark
I am drag racing
Drag

Yes, I′m winning, spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Yes, I′m winning, spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Fog and the distance beyond it
Boats and the quiet morning noises
I′m walking the shoreline
A beer and a cigarette
A bug with twitching antennae
A button-up short sleeved shirt

Yes, I′m winning, spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

I′m a big, tall man
I cut the grass
My left eye hurts
I can be a complicated communicator

Yes, I′m winning, spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Yes, I′m winning, spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Yes, I′m careening down / Yes, I′m winning, spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good

Liz Phair - Chopsticks

I met him at a party and he told me how to drive him home
He said he liked to do it backwards
I said, "That′s just fine with me,
That way we can fuck and watch TV."

It was four a.m. and the light was gray, like it always is in paperbacks
He asked if I liked playing jacks
I told him that I was good to sixes
But all hell broke loose after that

I told him that I knew Julia Roberts when I was twelve at summer camp
We didn′t say anything after that
I dropped him off and I drove on home

Liz Phair - Go, Speed Racer

Don′t give me that sucker fish shit
Your love life ain′t that hurting
And you always seemed to get what you wanted without flirting
You′re not the only one who′s used to playing dirty
And all I ever wanted from you is to leave me alone

So don′t give me that sucker fish shit
′Cause I′m not that strong a swimmer
But I′m not afraid to be moving in a slower river
You′re not the only one who used to watch Speed Racer

The very first car in a race around the world
Is somewhere in the middle of a race around the circle
And the very first car in a race around the world
Has got to wipe out somewhere
Well, that somewhere isn′t me

So don′t give me that sucker fish shit
′Cause I′m not getting younger
And I′m not a floatable to keep you from going under
And you′re not the only one who used to watch Speed Racer

The very first car in a race around the world
Is somewhere in the middle of a race around the circle
And the very first car in a race around the world
Has got to wipe out somewhere

Liz Phair - Nashville

They don′t know what they like so much about it
They just go for any shiny old bauble, and nobody sparkles like you
But I can′t imagine it in better terms
Then naked, half-awake, about to shave and go to work

And I′m starting to think it could happen to me like it did to you
And I′m starting to actually feel it seep through the slick divide now
I don′t crack the door too far for anyone who′s pushing too hard on me

They don′t know what they like so much about it
Maybe it goes on the other side of the hallway
The writing′s so small from here
But I can′t imagine it in better terms
Then naked, half-awake, about to shave and go to work

Liz Phair - Shatter

I know that I don′t always realize
How sleazy it is messing with these guys
But something about just being with you
Slapped me right in the face, nearly broke me in two
It′s a mark I′ve taken heart
And I know I will carry it with me for a long, long time

I don′t know if I could drive a car
Fast enough to get to where you are
Or wild enough not to miss the boat completely
Honey, I′m thinking maybe
You know, just maybe

I don′t know if I could fly a plane
Well enough to tail spin out your name
Or high enough to lose control completely
Honey, I′m thinking maybe
You know, just maybe

Liz Phair - Whip-Smart

I′m gonna tell my son to grow up pretty as the grass is green
And whip-smart as the English Channel′s wide
And I′m gonna tell my son to keep his money in his mattress
And his watch on any hand between his thighs
And I′m gonna lock my son up in a tower
Till I write my whole life story on the back of his big brown eyes

When they do the double dutch, that′s them dancing
When they do the double dutch, that′s them dancing
When they do the double dutch, that′s them dancing
When they do the double dutch, that′s them dancing

I′m gonna tell my son to join a circus so that death is cheap
And games are just another way of life
And I′m gonna tell my son to be a prophet of mistakes
Because for every truth there are half a million lies
And I′m gonna lock my son up in a tower
Till he learns to let his hair down far enough to climb outside

When they do the double dutch, that′s them dancing
When they do the double dutch, that′s them dancing
When they do the double dutch, that′s them dancing

Liz Phair - Divorce Song

And when I asked for a separate room
It was late at night, and we′d been driving since noon
But if I′d known how that would sound to you
I would have stayed in your bed for the rest of my life
Just to prove I was right
That it′s harder to be friends than lovers
And you shouldn′t try to mix the two
′Cause if you do it and you′re still unhappy
Then you know that the problem is you
And it′s true that I stole your lighter
And it′s also true that I lost the map
But when you said that I wasn′t worth talking to
I had to take your word on that
But if you′d known how that would sound to me
You would have taken it back
And boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Burned it up and thrown it away
You put in my hands a loaded gun
And then told me not to fire it
When you did the things you said were up to me
And then accused me of trying to fuck it up
But you′ve never been a waste of my time
It′s never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you′ll be alright
And the license said you had to stick around until I was dead
But if you′re tired of looking at my face, I guess I already am
But you′ve never been a waste of my time
It′s never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten

Liz Phair - Bionic Eyes

I love my bionic eyes
I love my crystal vision
If there′s anybody out there
Baby I′m not gonna miss ′em

I watch the years go by
These are the same old guys I never had any use for
Beyond the feeling of pleasure
Or the thrill of the fight

I scored again last night
I said thanks for the drinks, nice party
Then I turned out the light

I′ve got timing and attitude
That can get to the baddest dude
That′s when I hypnotize them
With my bionic eyes

As I got older I had to step out of the lines
And make up my own mind
As I got light as a feather they got stiff as a board
I can′t feel any more, but I can fake it forever

It′s easy in the beginning
When I can dazzle them
All night
Make ′em do what you wan′ ′em to
Get ′em running after you
It′s just the same old guys
Wearing the same old ties

As I got older I had to step out of the lines
And make up my own mind
As I got light as a feather they got stiff as a board
I can′t feel any more, but I can fake it forever

I love my bionic eyes
I love my bionic eyes
I love my bionic eyes

If there′s a parallel nation
And I′m a secret weapon
Show me a man you cannot break
And I will show you heaven

As I got older I had to step out of the lines
And make up my own mind
As I got light as a feather they got stiff as a board

Liz Phair - In Love With Yourself

He came over to my house
Didn′t even knock, he just walked inside
And when I didn′t want to talk
He said, "Oh God, what a lot of bullshit."

Don′t be so in love with yourself
Don′t be so in love with yourself
Don′t be so in love with yourself ′cause I′m not
Don′t you know I′m not?

And I said, "You′ve got a lot of nerve
Coming here after all of the times
That you′ve tried to pull the wool
Over my eyes and my ears and nose and mouth and..."

Don′t be so in love with yourself
Don′t be so in love with yourself
Don′t be so in love with yourself ′cause I′m not
Don′t you know I′m not?

And he said, "You′ve got a lot of nerve
Painting me like I′m the villain.
What about all of those words, like ′he′s just a friend′?
Oh God, what a lot of bullshit..."

Don′t be so in love with yourself
Don′t be so in love with yourself
Don′t be so in love with yourself ′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
Don′t be so in love with yourself
Don′t be so in love with yourself ′cause I′m not
Don′t you know I′m not?

And we took off all of our clothes
Had a lot of sex and then fell asleep
And when I finally awoke
I held him close and I whispered in his ear and said,
"Don′t be so in love with yourself
Don′t be so in love with yourself
Don′t be so in love with yourself ′cause I′m not
Don′t you know I′m not?"

Liz Phair - Supernova

I have looked all over the place
But you have got my favorite face
Your eyelashes sparkle like gilded grass
And your lips are sweet and slippery like a cherub′s bare wet ass

′Cause you′re a human supernova
A solar superman
You′re an angel with wings afire
A flying, giant friction blast

You walk in clouds of glitter and the sun reflects your eyes
And everytime the wind blows, I can smell you in the sky
Your kisses are as wicked as an F-16
And you fuck like a volcano, and you′re everything to me

′Cause you′re a human supernova
A solar superman
You′re an angel with wings afire
A flying, giant friction blast
You′re a giant, flying friction blast

′Cause you′re a human supernova
A solar superman
You′re an angel with wings afire

Liz Phair - Favorite

Don′t look sexy but it just feels right
Not too dirty and it′s not too tight
Why I never threw it out, I′ll never know exactly why

Keep it in the drawer beside my bed
It′s faded pink now, but it used to be red
Starting to fray at the seams, but I know that you′ll still love me
Like you did, like you did
Like before, like before
Like we will, like we will
Be doin′ it once more

Oh baby know what your like?
You′re like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it
Oh baby know how you feel?
You feel like my favorite underwear
And I′m slipping you on again tonight

Leave you lyin′ on the bedroom floor
I leave you hangin′ on the bathroom door
Take you for granted, but I′ll always know exactly where you are

Lost you once you were hard to find
Got you back you didn′t live like mine
Thought we were falling apart but you make me feel so pretty
Like you did, like you did
Like before, like before
Like we will, like we will
Be doin′ it once more

Oh baby know what your like?
You′re like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it
Oh baby know how you feel?
You feel like my favorite underwear
And I′m slipping you on again tonight
Slipping you on again tonight
Wrap me and roll me, hold me tight
Tear me apart and make me new
Like you always do

Oh baby know what your like?
You′re like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it

You feel you′re like this is what I want
You feel, you feel

Oh baby know what your like?
You′re like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it

You feel you′re like this is what I want
You feel, you feel

Liz Phair - Fuck Or Die

I keep a close watch on this twat of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
And the condom on your dick′s the tie that binds
Because you′re mine

You′re gonna sleep with me even if it kills you
You′re gonna sleep with me even if we die
You′re gonna sleep with me, better get used to it
There′s no use in fighting because it′s do it or die

Fuck or die
Fuck or die
Fuck or die
Fuck or die

You′re going down on me even if it kills you
You′re going down on me even if you die
You′re going down on me, better get used to it
There′s no use in fighting because it′s do it or die

Fuck or die
Fuck or die
Fuck or die
Fuck or die

All that′s left is to take off your clothes
And do it, do it, do it till you′re bone dry
Do it till you′re all worn out
Just do it, do it, do it till you′re bone dry
Do it, there is no doubt
Do it, there is no doubt

I′m gonna give you head even if it kills you
I′m gonna give you head even if you die
I′m gonna give you head, better get used to it
There′s no use in fighting because it′s do it or die

Fuck or die
Fuck or die
Fuck or die
Fuck or die
Fuck or die...

I keep a close watch on this twat of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
And the condom on your dick′s the tie that binds

Liz Phair - Rock Me

Oh baby you′re young but that′s okay
What′s give or take nine years anyway
I′ll bet you that cigarette
You won′t regret my time

I want to be with a guy like you
So uncomplicated, so in tune
Just take off my dress
Let′s mess with everybody′s mind

I gotta tell you

Baby, baby, baby, if it′s all right
Want you to rock me all night
Baby, baby, if it′s all right
Want you to rock me all night
All night
Yeah rock me all night

Hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah

I want to play Xbox on your floor
Say hi to your roommate who′s next door
You don′t have a dime, but I don′t mind
Who gives a damn

Your record collection don′t exist
You don′t even know who Liz Phair is
Your potential with no credentials
Your mother taught you how to be a sensitive man1
I gotta tell you

Baby, baby, baby, if it′s all right
Want you to rock me all night
Baby, baby, if it′s all right
Want you to rock me all night
All night
Yeah rock me all night

Hey yeah yeah
I′ve been waitin′
All my life for
Hey yeah yeah
For this feelin′
Who′d ′ve guessed it could rock me all night
Rock me all night

You think I′m a genius
Think I′m cool
I′m starting to think that young guys rule
Oh God, let me save you
′ll I might change you, and I might change my mind

Baby, baby, baby, if it′s all right
Want you to rock me all night
Baby, baby, if it′s all right
Want you to rock me all night
All night

Liz Phair - Turning Japanese

I′ve got your picture
Of me and you
You wrote, "I love you."
I love you, too
I sit there staring when there′s nothing else to do

Oh, it′s in color
Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel
And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there′s no one else around

I′ve got your picture, got your picture
I′d like a million of ′em over myself
I want a doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You′ve got me turning up, I′m turning down, I′m turning in, and I′m turning ′round

I′m turning Japanese, I think I′m turning Japanese, I really think so
Turning Japanese, I think I′m turning Japanese, I really think so
Turning Japanese, I think I′m turning Japanese, I really think so
Turning Japanese, I think I′m turning Japanese, I really think so

I′ve got your picture, I′ve got your picture
I′d like a million of them over myself
I want a doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You′ve got me turning up, I′m turning down, I′m turning in, and I′m turning ′round

I′m turning Japanese, I think I′m turning Japanese, I really think so
Turning Japanese, I think I′m turning Japanese, I really think so
Turning Japanese, I think I′m turning Japanese, I really think so
Turning Japanese, I think I′m turning Japanese, I really think so

No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it′s dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger
Everyone

That′s why I′m turning Japanese, I think I′m turning Japanese, I really think so
Turning Japanese, I think I′m turning Japanese, I really think so
Turning Japanese, I think I′m turning Japanese, I really think so
Turning Japanese, I think I′m turning Japanese, I really think so

Turning Japanese, I think I′m turning Japanese, I really think so
Turning Japanese, I think I′m turning Japanese, I really think so
(Think so, think so, think so)
Turning Japanese, I think I′m turning Japanese, I really think so
Turning Japanese, I think I′m turning Japanese, I really think so

Liz Phair - Wasted

All the people we all know
Are wasted away on a holiday
Everywhere these people go
They′re wasted away
There′s nothing to borrow
Wasted today, they′re wasted tomorrow
And I wouldn′t want it from you
And I wouldn′t take it anyhow
I just want to borrow time and to give my body peace of mind

All the people we all know
Are wasted away on a holiday
Everywhere my buddies go
They′re wasted away
Their eyes are like pinholes

Liz Phair - Only Son

All these babies are born
To the wrong kind of people
And I wish I had known
I was not good enough
I′m the worst kind of son
Bringing shame to my family
And I know I have worn
My mother′s heart out, believe me
I saw it
I saw it coming

All these things I have done
To my little little sister
When I try to support her
She don′t believe
Why should she?
I mean, I hurt her

So goodbye, so long, I′m gone already
I′m running out of time
I′m losing my mind
Won′t you come take me home?
Won′t somebody hold me?

All these babies are born
Like a field full of poppies
Who′s gonna know which are torn?
I believe I′ll soon leave the meadow
I see my shadow

Liz Phair - Lazy Dreamer

You fall hard, you fall deep
Even when you′re awake, you look half asleep
Do you even know what you did last summer?
Wandering around that dumb and blind
With the girls all hanging around you

Is that a no or yes?
We′ll have to guess
Mysterious eyes let you see what you want
Half the time you didn′t know any better, but half the time you did
Hanging around like tomorrow doesn′t apply to you

Lazy dreamer
You never want to rise
Seven in between us you′re almost paralyzed
Makes no difference to you the sun shining in your eyes

Liz Phair - Lost Tonight

Yeah, got a pretty young face
And a pretty old soul, got a pretty old soul
And yeah, you know you′ve got what it takes
But you′re never too cold, you′re never too cold

And I want to get lost tonight with you
Let me know if it′s alright that I do
Cause I want to get lost tonight with you
What you′ve got is what i′m running to

Yeah, you′ve heard it all before
But this time it′s true, this time it′s true
Yeah, I′m not that kind of girl
But I could be for you, I could be for you

And I want to get lost tonight with you
Let me know if it′s alright that I do
Cause I want to get lost tonight with you
What you′ve got is what I′m running to

Wouldn′t you know there′s a blackout tonight
We′re stuck here with nothing to do
But lean out the window and find paradise
We′ve both got nothing to lose

And I want to get lost tonight with you
Let me know if it′s alright if I do
Cause I want to get lost tonight with you

Liz Phair - Animal Girl

It′s an animal girl, and it′s lying on the beach
It′s ass can surf in the sand while it′s head′s asleep
It′s fingers roll a reefer cigarette
It′s skin can decompose beneath the sweat
I know all I need to know
I know how much girl to go

Drinking iced scotch and soda
I proclaim the ocean like a Coppertone baby
Wait and see
You don′t know who I am
Fig or tree
Lex or Superman

The owners may dim the lights
The sailors may start to fight back the dinner
They wolfed at the taco joint
But maybe a blue moon will shine in the heart of the hood

It′s an animal girl, and it′s knees are turning black
The spitomatic flips it on it′s back
There′s a gathering crowd of heavy-breasted men
The burn patrol is freaking out again
I know all I need to know

Liz Phair - Little Digger

Dig little digger, don′t be shy
You saw your mother with another guy
You think you′ll tell her that she′s one of a kind, you say
My Mother is mine

You put your trucks up on the bed next to him
So he can get a better look at them, you say
This ones my favorite one, this one you can′t have
I got it from my Dad, you say
I got it from my Dad

Now you′re thinking little thoughts about it
Taking every inch of him in
What does it mean when something changes how its always been
And in your head you keep repeating the line
My Mother is mine

I′ve done the damage, the damage is done
I pray to God that I′m the damaged one
In all these grown-up complications that you don′t understand
I hope you can, someday
I hope you can

And now you′re thinking little thoughts about it
Taking every inch of him in
What does it mean when something changes how its always been
And in your head you keep repeating the line
My Mother is mine

And now you′re thinking little thoughts about it
Taking every inch of him in
What does it mean when something changes how its always been
And in your head you keep repeating the line

Liz Phair - Count On My Love

Don′t know where we′ll be tomorrow
But we′ll beg and borrow everything we need
You are standing next to me, Where I want to be
Is anywhere you are

Some day if we never said it
We might live to regret it
Come on, don′t let us slip away in a daze

You can count on my love
And I′m bright out when it′s raining
When you feel your hope is fading
You can count on my love

Blue eyes, bluer than the blue sky
Smiling down like sunshine
Everywhere you are
For you, I only want the best
You only have to ask
And I′ll be there for you

Some day if we never said it
We might live to regret it
Come on, don′t let us fade away in a haze

You can count on my love
And I′m bright out when it′s raining
When you feel your hope is fading
You can count on my love
With me you′ll feel protected
And you′ll never be rejected
You can count on my love

You go through your whole life waiting
But you don′t know what you′re waiting for
One day you′ll meet somebody
And your whole world now is an open door

You can count on my love
You can count on my love
And I′m bright out when it′s raining
When you feel your hope is fading
You can count on my love
With me you′ll feel protected
And you′ll never be rejected
When you need a friend to lean on
You know you never need a reason
To count on my love
Count on my love

Liz Phair - Stars And Planet

Oh my look at you
The wide-eyed ingenue
See me coming
Whisper something
Who are you
Looking through the glass at me
Like your gonna make it happen
Let me tell you something true
You know its just the same old story

Stars rise and
Stars fall
But the ones that the shine the brightest aren′t stars at all
There the planets just like us
And from big to small
We all shine shine shine
We all shine

Raise the red flag
You say you′re hot young available
Spend their money
Chase their honey
Who are you
boogaloo
We′ve seen ten of you
Just this morning
At least as pretty too
You know it just the same old story

Stars rise and
Stars fall
But the ones that the shine the brightest aren′t stars at all
There the planets just like us
And from big to small
We all shine shine shine
We all shine shine shine
We all shine

Everybody wants to go far
Don′t be such a hog in the spotlight
Try to see how precious you are
And if you catch that wave it can be death defying

What if i′m a flasher into fashion entertainment
Affiliated
Listener-rated
Ample on the race
To see who makes it the grammy′s
Well you better start running
The bulls are coming
You know its just the same old story

Stars rise and
Stars fall
But the ones that the shine the brightest aren′t stars at all
There the planets just like us
And from big to small
We all shine shine shine

Stars rise and
Stars fall
But the ones that the shine the brightest aren′t stars at all
There the planets just like us
And from big to small

We all shine shine shine
We all shine shine shine
We all shine
Shine shine shine
We all shine shine shine
We all shine shine shine
We all shine
shine shine shine
We all shine shine shine
We all shine shine shine
We all shine
Shine shine shine
We all shine shine shine

Liz Phair - Explain It To Me

Head underwater
Keeps getting harder
Give ′em your medicine
Fame injection

Tell him to jump higher
Tell him to run farther
Make him measure up
Decades longer than you

Piece it together
It′s like weather
Watch him travel
Kiss the gravel

Tell him to jump higher
Tell him to run farther
Make him measure up
Ten times longer than you ever should
You never could explain them to me

Tra-la-la, la-la-la-la
Tra-la-la, la-la-la-la
Tra-la-la, la-la-la-la
Tra-la-la, la-la-la-la

Won′t you come along and see
How much like banana splits
Everyone can be

Makin′ up a mess of fun
Lots of fun for everyone

Tra-la-la, la-la-la-la
Tra-la-la, la-la-la-la
Tra-la-la, la-la-la-la

Liz Phair - Alice Springs

See the sun rise so loud
This whole town gets drowned out
Sky-writing with the sweep of a flashlight
I′m driving over that way
Some pot of gold, it′s just a carpeting store on opening day

See the moon rise so slow and shallow
It burns halos in my eyes
It′s harder to swallow
It′s harder to breathe
So many opals, nobody here knows what to believe

Liz Phair - Headache

I can see the Russian Army rolling through my head
On one side of me lies the enemy, the other half is dead
I′ve got diamonds and I′ve got pearls...
And I said, "Hey mister, won′t you come for me?"
You can take me home, but I will never be your girl
I won′t let your mystery unfurl

That′s the whole thing about it...
I′m so in love today
I′ve been waiting at the bus stop
Come my way?

I′m a
Psychosomatic sister
Running around without a leash
Snow is falling, January′s all across the land
I′ve got seven other men in the ditches behind me, and

Liz Phair - Cinco De Mayo

Cinco de mayo, blowout, denial
It wasn′t fun this time, letting you go
What if I never, a bullet forever,
Held out my hand to you?
We wouldn′t have known beautiful flow

Absolute measure, I ain′t no pleasure hound
Bus out of control, ploughing the road
Out on a bender
Just Alice falling down a deepening hole

I′d never been to Rome until you smiled
You′re about as old and piled

Used to pray for snow
Now I just wonder
What spell I was under
Thinking you thought of me as something to hold

I′d never been to Rome until you smiled
You′re about as old and piled

Cinco de mayo, burn-out Ohio

Liz Phair - Help Me Mary

Help me, Mary, please
I′ve lost my home to thieves
They bully the stereo and drink
They leave suspicious stains in the sink

They make rude remarks about me
They wonder just how wild I would be
As they egg me on and keep me mad
They play me like a pit bull in a basement, and for that...

I lock my door at night
I keep my mouth shut tight
I practice all my moves
I memorize their stupid rules

I make myself their friend
I′ll show them just how far I can bend
As they egg me on and keep me mad
They play me like a pit bull in a basement, and for that...

I′m asking you, Mary, please
Temper my hatred with peace
Weave my disgust into fame

Liz Phair - Shane

I know that it was the night the war broke out
Because you and I were driving around
And you were doing a story
About if people understood what had happened to their world
Tonight in bed sleeping
The world tonight in bed asleep

You said that you were in touch with the draft resistors
In case the big boys called you up
You′re gonna have to let ′em dick you around
But don′t let ′em make you do what you can′t live with
Tonight in bed with me sleeping
You looked like you were just a little kid
"Shane," I said, "You′ve gotta watch your ass."

You′ve gotta have fear in your heart (x 8)

Liz Phair - What Makes You Happy

But don′t worry, mom, I met him in a restaurant
And all this time I′ve been getting to know him
He′s got an ex-wife in Pasadena, and sometimes she′s a mess
To deal with, but mostly we′ve been living here
Uninjured

There′s a silence, and she says, "Listen here, young lady, all that matters is
What makes you happy, but you leave this house knowing my opinion won′t
Make you love me if you don′t care to."

I′m sending you this photograph, I swear
This one is going to last and all those other bastards
Were only practice
I feel the sun on my back...
I smell the earth in my skin...
I see the sky above me like a full recovery...

She said, "Listen here, young lady, all that matters is what makes you happy,
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
It won′t make a difference if you′re not ready.

Liz Phair - Take A Look

I don′t know what you′re after
Wannna know all the details of my disaster
Like an accident on the side of the road
When you′re driving past slow but there′s nothing to see here

Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look

I′m some kind of freak now and
You′ll never see me the same
What′s all the fuss about?
Are you sure you wanna find out?
Cause once you know the truth
You might wish you′d walked away

Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look

What if I′m not able
To put my cards on the table?
And would it liberate you
If you knew what I knew?

It′s been over a year now and
I never saw him again
The facts and the fiction
Collide as the bodies untangle
And the traffic moves on like it did

Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look

Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look
Wanna take a look, take a look

Liz Phair - Beg Me

Take one more step and it′s over
Back up slowly inside
Breathe too loud and I′ll kill you
Get down on your knees and beg me
Beg me, beg
Beg me, beg me, beg

Take off all of your clothes
Lie face down on the bed
Move one inch and I′ll shoot you
Make like a woman and beg me
Beg me, beg
I said, beg me, beg me, beg

Every night on TV
I see things that should make me blush
Looks like it′s going to be another open season
Open season on us
Open season, open season on us

It′s the first hot day of the summer
Looks like there′s gonna be thunder
I′ve been sitting here all afternoon
Watching the clouds

You can see the sky from my window
Can feel the wind and smell the rain
And I don′t see what difference it makes

Liz Phair - Strange Loop

The fire you like so much in me
Is the mark of someone adamantly free
But you can′t stop yourself from wanting worse
′Cause nothing feeds a hunger like a thirst

Baby, I′m tired of fighting
I always wanted you
I broke up at the roadhouse
I wouldn′t know you were alive
You haven′t seen me for weeks now
It wouldn′t shock you if I drove right out the back of your eyes
I can′t be trusted
They′re saying I can′t be true
But I only wanted more than I knew

Baby, I′m tired of fighting
I always wanted you

Liz Phair - Crater Lake

Once you′ve left a lonely rage on its own, it grows
And dynamite stuffed in a mailbox doesn′t smoke until it blows
And, oh, all the tears in four tiny years
Well, look at me, I′m frightening my friends
You better roll me...

I bought a map of the moon
There was a crater with my name on it and a really good view
There I was, getting drunk in your room
Because I wanted to throw my weight around

And, oh, all the tears in four tiny years
Well, look at me, I′m frightening my friends
You better roll me home
You better roll me home

Liz Phair - Go On Ahead

You go on ahead, honey
You have a good time there
You make me feel funny
I′m no ordinary lover or friend

I believe we have things to do
I believe in myself and I believe in you
I believe when I sleep you are near to me
I believe when you sleep I am near to you

You walk out of the room with your hands so deep in your pockets, I don′t
Recognize you
You say you′re a ghost in our house and I realize I do think I see through you

It′s a death in our love that has brought us here
It′s a birth that has changed our lives
It′s a place that I hope we′ll be leaving soon
And I fear for the year in his eyes

And it goes around in circles: one night is lovely, the next is brutal
And you and I are in way over our heads with this one, it′s hard
To admit it, but you hold me and I can′t feel you
We hurt but we smile

Liz Phair - Never Said

yeah

I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing

I don′t know where you heard it
Don′t know who′s spreadin′ it ′round
All I know is I′m clean as a whistle, baby
I didn′t utter a sound

I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing

I don′t know what they told you
Don′t even care what about
All I know is I′m clean as a whistle, baby
I didn′t let the cat out

So don′t look at me sideways
Don′t even look me straight on
And don′t look at my hands in my pockets, baby
I ain′t done anything wrong

I never said nothing
No, baby, I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
No, not to anyone
I never said nothing

Liz Phair - Dead Shark

Don′t be so rude
I was only trying to make conversation
Hey, don′t go down, this is not going anywhere
Got a dead shark on our hands
Got a dead shark on our hands
Got a dead shark on our hands

I′m just trying to get a handle on this
I′m just trying to figure out where to stand
I′m just trying
So sue me for trying

Do I just have a problem, or did you also think that this was hot?

I really hate talking to you on the telephone
Can′t we just work it out
That you come on over?
Can′t we just work it out
That you stay here tonight?
I′m not looking over my shoulder
I′m not gazing up at the stars
I′m not thinking of five years in the future
I′m just wondering where you′ll sleep tonight

Do I just have a problem, or did you also think that this was hot?

I′m not looking over my shoulder
I′m not gazing up at the stars
I′m not thinking of five years in the future

Liz Phair - Canary

I learn my name
I write with a number two pencil
I work up to my potential
I earn my name
I come when called
I jump when you circle the cherry
I sing like a good canary
I come when called
I come, that′s all

Send it up on fire
Death before dawn
Send it up on fire
Death before dawn

I clean the house
I put all your books in an order
I make up a colorful border
I clean my mouth
′Cause froth comes out

Send it up on fire
Death before dawn
Send it up on fire

Liz Phair - Mesmerizing

You said things I wouldn′t say
Straight to my face, boy
You tossed the egg up
And I found my hands in place, boy
After backing up as far as you could get
Don′t you know nobody parts two rivers met?
Don′t you know I′m very happy?
You know me well
I′m even happier
I like it
I like it

With all of the time in the world to spend it
Wild and unwise, I wanna be mesmerizing too
Mesmerizing too
Mesmerizing to you

With all of the time in the world to spend it
Wild and unwise, I wanna be mesmerizing too
Mesmerizing too

Liz Phair - Beginning To See The Light

You want me home, but I′m gone all night
And we′ve probably been in some kind of fight
But if that′s not real, and that′s not right...
And I′m beginning to see the light
Yes, I′m beginning to see the light

When all the stars up in Heaven were rushed by an angel
To see the light in your face better
And if God would only listen
He would surely create us
A hope of his everlasting grace

And I may be young, but I still know
The things you put down can rise from below
And I can hardly believe you would lay this at my door
′Cause I have heard that song before
Yes, I have heard that song before

When all the stars up in Heaven were rushed by an angel
To see the light in your face better
And if God would only listen
He would surely create us
A hope of his everlasting grace

You want me home, but I′m gone all night
And we′ve probably been in some kind of fight
But if that′s not real, and that′s not right...
And I′m beginning to see the light

Liz Phair - You Have No Idea

You have no idea how much I love you
What I would do for your natural touch
And you have no idea just how I′d hold you
When I am woken from a dream, something bad had happened to us

But I would talk my mouth off
If I thought, oh yes, baby
It would glue you forever to me

And I′ve worn out my pride
And I′ve torn at the sky
And I′ve beaten at the devil
With one heathenist sigh

And I′d never let anyone harm you while I′m alive
I′d never let anyone harm you while I′m alive

You have no idea how much it moves me
Just staring deeply into your green eyes
And you have no idea just how completely I adore you
You would be so surprised

But I would talk my mouth off
If I thought, oh yes, baby
It would glue you forever to me

And I′ve worn out my pride
And I′ve torn at the sky
And I′ve beaten at the devil
With one heathenist sigh

And I′d never let anyone harm you while I′m alive
I′d never let anyone harm you while I′m alive

Liz Phair - Fantasize

He′s a friend of mine
Kind of special guy
He′s a run-around

Hey, you′ve got to hide your love away!
I hear people are talking about us
And I just have to say
I lie awake every night
Thinking about you. I fantasize...
All around me people are changing

He′s a special guy
Kind of sentimental inside

I hear people are talking about us
That′s ok with me

KReeD - Любовь или игра? (ft. KeeN и Полина Булаткина)

вся грусть накопилась на сердце как никотину виви
и что б забиться мне уже не хватит 3х литров
что это любовь игра или же злая шутка
осозновать все это для меня мука
ты знаешь
будь ближе!
хватит играть с моими чувствами
тебе грустно,но в твоем сердце не пусто я в курсе
пока плывем с тобой прямо по курсу
пол года назад пересеклись наши судьбы так надо
искры в твоих глазах и на момент забыл про все на свете но с временем ты потеряла то что было дано
но амур вонзает в меня каждый день стрелою
и то что я люблю тебя прости больше не скрою
ты играешь со мною ну и что мне остается делать
умереть от слова нет или же верить
ответь мне на один вопрос: это любовь или игра
и я знаю что ты выберешь 2ой вариант
я снова пьян виной всему игра в любовь
и вновь и вновь
словно из носу кровь
я так хочу что б ты была ближе
блять по ходу это моя кара ты играешь в игру плюс в игру без правил
припев:
что это игра или любовь
один поцелуй и не надо слов
что это прошу ответь мне на вопрос
это игра или любовь
что это игра или любовь
один поцелуй и не надо слов
что это прошу ответь мне на вопрос
это игра или любовь
мне не дано быть ангелом любить и согревать душу,но загляни в мое сердце и вой его послушай я болен лишь тобой мне не нужна вакцина
ты зеркало моей души и ты нужна мне очень сильно
бессловно как у большой мозайки и мы с тобой целое и я тебя люблю как поэт свои шедевры
я дорожу тобой как тело дорожит душой
ты моя вершина неба яркий лучик солнца мой
ты как исток музыки что так пронзает истину и так прекрасна как песня и окрыляет как крылья
твой яркий образ буду помнить до смерти
моя любовь со мной
моя любовь в моем сердце
что это игра или любовь
один поцелуй и не надо слов
что это прошу ответь мне на вопрос
это игра или любовь

KReeD - Вернись, прости (ft. Тимупр Спб)

Снова бессонная ночь,я пью литрами боль,докуривая последний вдох,тонкость души и твою любовь сквозь время..
Безумно скучаю по клеткам твоего тела,
Её глаза цвета утреннего моря..

Понимаешь,я хочу стать первым,хватит!
НЕ буду любить из себя твоего идеала..
Мне в мыслях нравится,всем попало,разрывая тишину на тысячи мелких кусочков..
Пропитаны слезой острые осколки..
Мы не видели трамвая,равнодушно увозивший всё дальше и дальше друг от друга..
В непонимании,ожесточая сердце и отупляя чувства..
Серым шёпотом взгляды скованы.
Здесь тишины бездыханной аллеи,где только ветер веет,холод и Север..
Ждали на разных станциях,наплевав на гордость и уезжая домой в полупустых вагонах…

С содроганием вернулась в мой вязанный мир..
Небрежно бросила на стол ключи и,нервно кусая губы у порога,я так тебя ждал,наконец-то ты домма….

С содроганием вернулась в мой вязанный мир..
Небрежно бросила на стол ключи и,нервно кусая губы у порога,я так тебя ждал,наконец-то ты домма….

Ну давай,давай вспоминать всё,что было,если твоё сердце в груди ещё не остыло..
Всё было мило,нет,всё было,как ты любила,а я терпел,послав гордость,собрав в кулак все силы…
Закрывая глаза,ведь мне так проще с тобой..
Сам не свой,либо спутался с чьей-то судьбой..
Просто походу я попал в твои сети,но к ним меня привёл попутный ветер..
Сквер-наше любимое место,наша любовная тропинка от парка до подъезда..
И сколько пережили вместе,даже не знаю,но без тебя я замерзаю зая,мир будто замер..
Наша жизнь-экзамен — осталось сдать его,но это не кино,и всё предрешено создателем…
Но любовь живёт,живёт внутри.Забудь плохое,я жду тебя,вернись,прости….

С содроганием вернулась в мой вязанный мир..
Небрежно бросила на стол ключи и,нервно кусая губы у порога,я так тебя ждал,наконец-то ты домма….

С содроганием вернулась в мой вязанный мир..
Небрежно бросила на стол ключи и,нервно кусая губы у порога,я так тебя ждал,наконец-то ты домма….

С содроганием вернулась в мой вязанный мир..
Небрежно бросила на стол ключи и,нервно кусая губы у порога,я так тебя ждал,наконец-то ты домма….

С содроганием вернулась в мой вязанный мир..
Небрежно бросила на стол ключи и,нервно кусая губы у порога,я так тебя ждал,наконец-то ты домма….

KReeD - Важно

Мы с высоты с тобой, смотрим на этот город.
Если сейчас со мной, это нам будет повод.
Не уснём пока вдвоём, остановим время.
Дай мне несколько минут и взлетим мы в небо.

Мне быть с тобой важно, важно.
Где бы ни была ты.
Мне быть с тобой важно, важно.
Просто со мной лети.

Мне быть с тобой важно, важно.
Где бы ни была ты.
Мне быть с тобой важно, важно.
Просто со мной лети.
Со мной лети...

Мне обо всём сейчас, расскажет твоё дыхание.
И пускай эта ночь, останется нашей тайной.
В далеке горит рассвет, мы летим навстречу.
Где-то выше облаков, тихо мне прошепчешь.

Мне быть с тобой важно, важно.
Где бы ни была ты.
Мне быть с тобой важно, важно.
Просто со мной лети.

Мне быть с тобой важно, важно.
Где бы ни была ты.
Мне быть с тобой важно, важно.
Просто со мной лети.
Со мной лети...

Ты со мной лети...

Мне быть с тобой важно, важно.
Где бы ни была ты.
Мне быть с тобой важно, важно.
Просто со мной лети.(х2)
