lyrics-o-rama!

well the lovely redhotmamma is right, the current incarnation of liz phair is certainly not the most desireable. however her older stuff is GREAT!

from Flower:
"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"

from Fuck and Run:
"I didn't think this would happen again
With or without my best intentions"

from Divorce Song:
"But when you said that I wasn't worth talking to
I had to take your word on that"

from Perfect World:
"I want to be cool, tall, vulnerable and luscious
I would have it all if I'd only had this much"

from Johnny Feelgood:
"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
Till he knocked me down, started dragging me around in the
Back of his convertible car...And I liked it"

from Go On Ahead:
"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"

from What Makes You Happy:
"I'm sending you this photograph, I swear
This one is going to last and all those other bastards
Were only practice"

from Supernova:
"Your kisses are as wicked as an F-16
And you fuck like a volcano
and you're everything to me..."

from 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. "

now, i'm not a HUGE fan of her new stuff, but there are still some nuggets of lyrical fun, such as...

from Friend of Mine:
"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"

------ and the next installment of LYRICS I REALLY LIKE will feature PJ Harvey. look at these, my childbearing hips...

Good choices all around. I also dig Liz Phair and PJ Harvey.
