Slipping you on again tonight...

"I think good art happens on that edge between comfortable and in a lot of pain, you know what I mean?"
~ Liz Phair


I was looking through my old CDs and stumbled across Liz Phair's 2003 self-titled album. I've been listening to it like crazy. I forgot how amazing that CD is (yes, I know its the CD she sold out on, I don't care, I love pop music especially sexually explicit/borderline angry/power pop/rock 'n' roll/female rocker chicks). 

One song, in its hilarity, quirky, awesomeness just really hit home. I don't know. I just relate to it. I have a pair of favorite underwear... who doesn't?

Last time I posted lyrics I felt really ashamed, but I've come to realize, sometimes the best way to get to know a person is by checking out the lyrics they relate most to... it tells a story.

"Favorite" by Liz Phair



Don't look sexy but it just feels right
Not too dirty and it's not too tight
Why I never threw it out, I'll never know exactly why


Keep it in the drawer beside my bed
It's faded pink now, but it used to be red
Starting to fray at the seams, but I know that you'll still love me
Like you did, like you did
Like before, like before
Like we will, like we will
Be doin' it once more

Oh baby know what your like?
You're like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it
Oh baby know how you feel?
You feel like my favorite underwear
And I'm slipping you on again tonight

Leave you lyin' on the bedroom floor
I leave you hangin' on the bathroom door
Take you for granted, but I'll always know exactly where you are

Lost you once you were hard to find
Got you back you didn't live like mine
Thought we were falling apart but you make me feel so pretty
Like you did, like you did
Like before, like before
Like we will, like we will
Be doin' it once more

Oh baby know what your like?
You're like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it
Oh baby know how you feel?
You feel like my favorite underwear
And I'm slipping you on again tonight
Slipping you on again tonight

Wrap me and roll me, hold me tight
Tear me apart and make me new
Like you always do


Oh baby know what your like?
You're like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it

You feel you're like this is what I want
You feel, you feel

Oh baby know what your like?
You're like my favorite underwear
It just feels right, you know it

You feel you're like this is what I want
You feel, you feel

Slipping you on again tonight
