Five For Fighting - 100 Years

I'm fifteen for a moment.
Caught in between ten and twenty
and I'm just dreaming,
counting the ways to where you are.

I'm twenty-two for a moment
and she feels better than ever
and we're on fire,
making our way back from Mars.

Fifteen, there's still time for you.
Time to buy and time to lose.
Fifteen.
There's never a wish better than this,
When you only got a hundred years to live.

I'm thirty-three for a moment.
I'm still the man,
but you see I'm a they.
A kid on the way, babe.
A family on my mind.

I'm forty-five for a moment.
The sea is high
and I'm heading into a crisis,
chasing the years of my life.

Fifteen, there's still time for you.
Time to buy and time to lose yourself within a morning star.
Fifteen, I'm alright with you.
Fifteen.
There's never a wish better than this,
When you only got a hundred years to live.

How the time goes by.
Suddenly, you're wise.
Another blink of an eye, sixty-seven is gone.
The sun is getting high.
We're moving on...

I'm ninety-nine for a moment.
Dying for just another moment
and I'm just dreaming,
counting the ways to where you are.

Fifteen, there's still time for you.
Twenty-Two, I feel her, too.
Thirty-Three, you're on your way.
Every day's a new day...

Fifteen, there's still time for you.
Time to buy and time to choose.
Hey, fifteen.
There's never a wish better than this,
when you only got a hundred years to live.

I didn't like 'Superman' when it came out, but this song is growing on me. If only John Ondrasik would stop with the falsetto!

So Unsexy - I'm 13 again and I'm 13 for good
Thank You - How about no longer being masochistic, How about remembering your divinity, How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out
That Particular Time - I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt and in the meantime I lost myself
Uninvited - Like any hot-blooded woman, I have simply wanted an object to crave ... Like any uncharted territory, I must seem greatly intriguing
Unsent - the truth is whenever I think of the early 90's, your face comes up with a vengeance like it was yesterday ... you were the best platform from which to jump beyond myself
You Oughta Know - Does she know how you told me, You'd hold me until you died, Till you died, but you're still alive
You Owe Me Nothing In Return - This is the only kind of love As I understand it that there really is. You can express your deepest of truths Even if it means I'll lose you and I'll hear it.
Your House - So forgive me love, If I cry in your shower

The Wisdom of Liz Phair

This one has been a long time coming:

Bionic Eyes As I got light as a feather they got stiff as a board ... Show me a man you cannot break, And I will show you heaven
Divorce Song But you've never been a waste of my time, It's never been a drag
Fck and Run I can feel it in my bones, I'm gonna spend another year alone ... And I can feel it in my bones, I'm gonna spend my whole life alone
Firewalker Become something strange and beautiful, Like joy
Flower You're probably shy and introspective, That's not part of my objective
Friend of Mine Cause I don't have the heart to try, One more false start in life
Go On Ahead And I fear for the year in his eyes
HWC Everything is fresher when the day is sweet ... Without you I'm just another Dorian Gray
Johnny Feelgood I never met a man who was so pretty inside, He's got diamonds on the bed of his thumbnails
Love/Hate It's a war, With the whole wide world, It's a war, With the boys and girls
Polyester Bride You're lucky to be drinking here for free cause I'm a Sucker for your lucky, pretty eyes.
Rock Me You're potential with no credentials
Shitloads of Money It looks like shit and it must be America, It burns so quick, then it must be America
Sometimes a Dream Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
Supernova You're an angel with wings of fire
Turning Japanese I often kiss you when there's no one else around
What Makes You Happy I'm sending you this photograph, I swear this time it's going to last and all those other bastards were only practice!
Whipsmart For every truth, there are half a million lies
Why Can't I We're already wet, and we're gonna go swimming

Liz Phair - What Makes you Happy

This song has been going through my head for two days now:

What Makes You Happy
But don't worry, mom.
I met him in a restaurant
And all this time I've been getting to know him
He's got an ex-wife in Pasadena,
and sometimes she's a mess to deal with,
but mostly we've been living here uninjured...
There's a silence, and she says,
"Listen here young lady,
All that matters is what makes you happy,
but you leave this house knowing my opinion won't
Make you love me if you don't care to."
But mom, I'm sending you this photograph,
I swear, This one is going to last
and all those other bastards
Were only practice!
I feel the sun on my back...
I smell the earth in my skin...
I see the sky above me like a full recovery...

She said, "Listen here young lady,
All that matters is what makes you happy,
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
It won't make a difference if you're not ready."
