Yeah, yeah,
everyone over thirty thinks Liz Phair sold out, or barring that thinks
she always sucked (preface, preface…). I still like her
shit. You get old. You change. Maybe it seems fluffy
to other people. Maybe it is fluffy but life doesn’t have to be
deep-sea diving alla the damn time. My life’s not Fuck and Run
anymore anyway and sometimes it’s nice to lie back in your hammock with
a lemonade.LIZ PHAIR LYRICS
“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
An umbrella 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
An umbrella 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
An umbrella 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
You can count of my love.*******************************************************************

today… it seems that wherever we went together people thought we were
a couple. It never bothered me; I don’t think it bothered
her. We went to visit my rellies in a nearby resort town and
while we’re both pretty sure that was what they thought… meh, who
cares? Still I get excellent service at the Russian-Greek
restaurant now when I show up with Brooke. They’re so very
attentive that I have to do the “look, a deer!” thing and bolt. I
think they’re happy to see me moving on. *snerk*

Yes…if we are lucky we do grow up…just not old.
ryc: That made me laugh. You really think you could? Lol. That reminded me of the slut thing, that was fun.
yeah, I changed the password and now I can’t remember it. sounds like me, doesn’t it?
i liked her first album more. but shes still great i listen to imogene heap sometimes too who reminds me of Liz in an off-hand way.
I don’t quite know what my deal is? People assume that any girl I hang out with and I are a couple. ANY GIRL.
You. Kim. Rachael. I don’t care. It’s just kind of odd. Alone, few people assume I’m a lesbian. They sometimes beat around the bush (ha ha, i’m so funny) and try to kind of ask if I may be lesbian. I’ll reply very vaguely so they won’t know.
So yeah, obviously I don’t care what people think my sexuality is because the fact remains I’m not straight. Or gay or bisexual. I’m NONsexual.
My best friend got me into Liz Phair, and I’ve liked just about everything I’ve heard from her. If anything at all she’s unique, which counts the most in my book.
is it Asexual where you reproduce on your own? just wondering.
Liz Phair grated on me at first because I thought she was stealing my act, but since I can’t sing I got over it and learned to love the Divorce Song too. Yay you!
I’ve been debating about buying her new album…I love her, always have and I was surpised by how good the self-titled album was, even though it supposedly was her “sell-out” pop album. Hello? “H.W.C.”? Not exactly teen girl friendly…
yeeeeeah, I love that song but I hit skip when I’m playing it in the car with my little girls. that’s all gramma needs to hear. “Gramma, wanna hear a song?”
