Liz Phair - Blood Keeper - lyrics

Do it right
Save time
Make love
Feel fine about everything
Im obsessed, Im a wreck, Im insane.
Isnt that what you want me to say?
Dont you need to feel my blood on the tracks today?
Look right
Shield my eyes
Cough it up
Apologize to everyone
Im obsessed, Im a wreck, Im insane
Isnt that what you want me to say?
Dont you need to feel my blood on the tracks today?
Lovely body parts for everyone
Come and take them off right now
What do you need them for, its just the two of us
No ones asking you why
Im obsessed, Im a wreck, Im insane
Isnt that what you want me to say?
Dont you need to feel my blood on the tracks today?
Do it right
Save time
Close the nest
Wash your hands of everyone
Im obsessed, Im a wreck, Im insane
Isnt that what you want me to say?
Dont you need to feel my blood on the tracks today?
Im obsessed, Im a wreck, Im insane
Isnt that what you want me to say?
Dont you need to feel my blood on the tracks today?

Liz Phair - California - lyrics

Okay, this guy walks into a bar
No, i'm just, i'm just *****ing with you, i'm kidding
No, there's this, this young bull and this old bull
And they're standing on top of a hill
And i tried to tell you before
That that's why i left california
So they're standing on top of this hill, right?
And they're looking out over a pasture full of cows
Whole *****ing pasture
And the young bull turns to the old bull, and he goes,
"i got this really good idea."
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.
Let's run down that hill and ***** one of those cows."
And the old bull just looks at him, you know he's just looking at him
He's like, "look, i got a better idea."
And the young bull's like, "oh yeah, what's your *****ing brilliant idea?"
And the old bull goes...
And i tried to tell you before
That that's why i left california
And the old bull goes, "let's walk down that hill and ***** all of those cows, dig?"
You know, like he ain't been in town long or something, i dunno
And i tried to tell you before
That that's why i left california

Liz Phair - 6' 1 - lyrics

I bet you fall in bed too easily
With the beautiful girls who are shyly brave
And you sell yourself as a man to save
But all the money in the world is not enough
I bet youve long since passed understanding
What it takes to be satisfied
Youre like a vine that keeps climbing higher
But all the money in the world is not enough
And all the bridges blown away keep floating up
Its cold
And rough
And I kept standing six-feet-one
Instead of five-feet-two
And I loved my life
And I hated you
(yeah)
Its cold out there
And rough
And I kept standing six-feet-one
Instead of five-feet-two
And I loved my life
And I hated you

Liz Phair - Alice Springs - lyrics

See the sun rise so loud
This whole town gets drowned out
Sky writing with the sweep of a flashlight
Im driving over that way
Some pot of gold
Its just a carpeting store on opening day
See the moon rise so slow and shallow
It burns halos in my eyes
Its harder to swallow, harder to breathe
So many opals, nobody here knows what to believe
Theyve got me underground

Liz Phair - Beginning To See The Light - lyrics

You want me home, but Im gone all night
And weve probably been in some kind of fight
But if thats not real, and thats not right...
And Im beginning to see the light
Yes, Im 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 Im gone all night
And weve probably been in some kind of fight
But if thats not real, and thats not right...
And Im beginning to see the light
Yes, Im beginning to see the light

Liz Phair - Big Tall Man - lyrics

Im 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, Im 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, Im winning, spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache
Yes, Im 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
Im walking the shoreline
A beer and a cigarette
A bug with twitching antennae
A button-up short sleeved shirt
Yes, Im winning, spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache
Im a big, tall man
I cut the grass
My left eye hurts
I can be a complicated communicator
Yes, Im winning, spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache
Yes, Im winning, spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache
Yes, Im careening down / yes, Im winning, spinning
I feel energy being pulled off from all sides
And it feels good
Like relieving a headache

Liz Phair - Black Market White Baby Dealer - lyrics

My black market white baby dealer
Is hunting around overseas
My black market white baby dealer
Brings back clean, fresh white babies to me
Clean, fresh white babies to me
My black market white baby dealer
Is rooting around overseas
My black market white baby dealer
Kidnaps clean, fresh white babies for me
Clean, fresh white babies for me
My smile is dime a dozen
My lips are cherry red
My eyes are blue like the sky is blue
I got good shoulders under my head
I look like your mother
I look like your great-aunt
So sit me down in the family photo
And everyone tells me that i, I look just like you
My black market white baby dealer
Is hunting around overseas
My black market white baby dealer
Brings back clean, fresh white babies to me
He brings back
Oh my god, he brings back
He brings back clean, fresh, white expensive babies
He brings back
Oh charlie, he brings back
He brings back clean, fresh, white expensive babies
I come post-production
I dont need natal care
Im already fully assembled
Down to the very last part, its all there
So take me to your family
So take me to your home
Buddy, take me in as your next generation
And Ill take you out of the lost one and into mine
My black market white baby dealer
Is hunting around overseas
My black market white baby dealer
Brings back clean, fresh white babies to me
Clean, fresh white babies to me
Clean, fresh white babies to me

Liz Phair - Baby Got Going - lyrics

Baby got goin on a southern train, you know
Fired up pistons drivin below
And the whole vibration, seat upholstery
Silky underwear, oh conductor lets roll
Lets roll!
Baby got goin but I cant complain, you know
It knocks me out when she acts so strange,
Its like a big mac truck cut across two lanes in my soul
Conductor, lets throw some metal down, roll!
Lets roll!
Baby got goin when the train kept a rollin
Baby got goin when the train kept a rollin
Baby got goin when the train kept a rollin
Baby got goin when the train kept a rollin
Squeeze her knees underneath a book, you know
A real good shakin is all it took
Cause my babys hooked on me
And as you can see Im wild about her!
She got goin but I cant complain, you know
It knocks me out when she acts so strange
Its like a big mac truck cut across two lanes in my soul
Conductor lets throw some metal down, roll! lets roll!
She gets mad when it goes too slow,
So Im beggin you man keep a-shovelin that coal and lets roll!
Lets roll
Roll
Roll
Roll
Roll
Roll

Liz Phair - Batmobile - lyrics

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 *****ing 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 *****ing with me
I just can't take any of you seriously
And i can't keep keeping myself company

Liz Phair - Animal Girl - lyrics

Its an animal girl, and its lying on the beach
Its ass can surf in the sand while its heads asleep
Its fingers roll a reefer cigarette
Its 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 dont 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
Its an animal girl, and its knees are turning black
The spitomatic flips it on its back
Theres a gathering crowd of heavy-breasted men
The burn patrol is freaking out again
I know all I need to know
I know how much girl to go
