| Liz Phair – Easy Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
from liz phair's own words: I used to pretend that my grandfather, who died when I was eight or so, was hanging around, watching out for me. When I got older, I would imagine that if you blew off a friend or a boyfriend, that their presence would continue to haunt you, as if you had killed them and they wanted revenge. ‘American Werewolf in London’ was helpful in solidifying this paranoia. |

| Liz Phair – Canary Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| it's a creepy song. i always thought it was a murder ballad but further analysis and research says that the line actually goes "deaf before dumb", like it's not about female docility but actually about breaking through some ground. the verses are of this person being all docile and being caged like a canary and the chorus is saying "send it up on fire, deaf before dumb" like do it, just stop being a fucking canary, fly you freak, go crazy!! | |
| Liz Phair – California Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
“California” seven, seven, seven out of money and eight, eight, eight I can’t believe I dated you and nine, nine, I forget what nine is but then ten, ten, ten I’m a loser at everything everything everything! just then, that's liz's own words and i have no idea what that's about but i think the song is kind of just a jokey metaphorical song about betrayal. like her boyfriend cheated on her and she can't believe how much of an animal he's behaved so he compares his behavior to the mechanical, robotic, thoughtlessness of bulls. |

| Liz Phair – Batmobile Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
from liz's own words: “Batmobile” My family nickname is Bats, Batty, etc... don’t ask. A combination of an old Dentyne commercial (“Hellooooo Betty!”) and the obvious. Anyway, most of this Girlysound music was written while I was still in high school or early college, and getting out from under the influence of my parents seemed like a do or damned proposition. |

| Liz Phair – Animal Girl Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
from liz phair's own words: “Animal Girl” is about growing out of puberty and needing gratification. It’s also about a situational romance that never seemed to happen on the days when I was free. This song is for Lotje Ijzermans, VPRO personality, who is an inspiration of a dame. I wanted to be her and live in Amsterdam. |

| Liz Phair – Alice Springs Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
it's about liz phair's situation after exile in guyville, being carried by hype and anticipating backlash (i'm driving over that way, some pot of gold, it's just a carpeting store..). but i always thought it's a song about a funeral seen from the eyes of a corpse. |

| Liz Phair – 6' 1" Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| she's 5'2". the song is not really about that. in exile in guyville, she writes a lot of songs about fucked up men and fucked up relationships. this song is about a situation where in she has this guy who thinks he's all that, so tall and wonderful but she knows more than that. so she reduces him, dissects him for who he is. | |
| Liz Phair – Chopsticks Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| it's about not having sex. she meets a guy at a party, shares inane conversation with the intention of having sex but she ends up just driving him home. she's secretly timid, as much as she'd like to think she's brave and brazen by doing the driving and having all these thoughts of sex and leading the conversation into sexual territory, she's very shy. | |
