Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Every time I see your face I get all wet between my legs
Every time you pass me by, I heave a sigh of pain
Every time 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 blow job queen
You're probably shy and introspective
That's not part of my objective
I just want your fresh, young jimmy
Jamming, slamming, ramming in me
Every time 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
Every time
Every time you pass me by, I heave a sigh of pain
Every time 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 blow job queen
You're probably shy and introspective
That's not part of my objective
I just want your fresh, young jimmy
Jamming, slamming, ramming in me
Every time 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
Every time

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
sex.
I disagree with the person who said girls don't think this graphically. We may not be thinking the things described in this song ALL the time and we may not think them very often, but we DO. See, the thing is, when we're excited by someone, we don't THINK about those emotions and feelings, we only FEEL them. We've all felt them. Liz just has the remarkable ability of putting what we're all thinking into words.
Great song. Very human and simple.
I think it's a joke. Not a "ha ha" joke; I think it's supposed to be ironic. It's what every virile young man would love to hear a woman say to him. What immature and obnoxious man doesn't want a blowjob queen, regardless of whether he deserves it? The irony is that he doesn't deserve it.
I also think an ironic take on the song fits much better in context with the rest of "Exile in Guyville."
I think I agree. It's not that I believe only men think this way (that's definitely not true, and Liz Phair is definitely not shy) it's just that the completely deadpan tone and even more monotone delivery than usual makes it seem like she's reciting what a man wants to hear, rather than something she's actually sincere about.
I don't think wanting a blowjob queen makes you immature and obnoxious. All men enjoy a blow job from a woman who likes to give them. I also don't think it is a joke. Liz is singing about having her own sexual energy unlike most women when the album was released. It is a faux pas for a woman to talk like this, but ok for men to be sexually suggestive. I think she is being bold and honest and confronting the issue of women hiding their sexuality. From my experience when are just as sexual as men but are not allowed to be proud of it, demonstrated by the fact that when they write a song about it someone says "she must be joking"
wait, what are you guys - i thought it was about flowers
I am quite fond of this song. Most of it is self-explanatory - and I mean REALLY self-explanatory. But I think these are very good lyrics; in fact they are so good, and so painfully honest and relatable that they hold up the integrity of the song. In another artist's hands, this song probably would have come out sounding terribly raunchy, but with Liz Phair, that doesn't happen at all. I especially like the lines "You act like you're fourteen years old/Everything you say is so/Obnoxious, funny, true and mean"...well, I guess that's all I've to say. Where are all the other Liz fans?!?!
whoa, dude this stuff is awwsome. i love how she can talk about getting wet between her legs and wanting to be a blow job queen so freely. rock on liz
this is exactly how I feel about Ian Hecox sighs He gets me so fucking hot
i think this is about the sexual attraction of a woman to a man who probably doesnt notice her cos he has a girlfriend or something. and she wants to fuck him badddd :)
I love it. It's so so fucking good and honest and explicit.
Also, why does it have to be ironic? Not only men think this way. I certainly do.
i know, right?
