| Just throwing this completely aside but patriotic observation into the mix -- MG is Canadian, therefore speaks/sings/writes Canadian English, so the lyrics would properly read "I've a favour" not favor ;) | |
| Liz Phair – Table for One Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Um. Actually, I would say she is pretty clearly talking about herself. Beyond the fact that I see nothing about that line which would disprove it being about her (why can't an addict want change, to be someone different, reliable, etc.?), but moreover she is VERY open about her past with drugs and alcohol. Here, for an example check out this interview from a couple years ago: http://www.nashvillescene.com/nashville/liz-phair-talks-sex-drugs-rock-n-roll-and-learning-how-to-deal/Content?oid=2191673 And if you don't want to bother clicking, here's a relevant excerpt: "For years when people asked me, 'Why can't you do Guyville again?' I would say, because I can't go back into that miserable existence. Why do you want me to be a liar and unhappy? Acting out and deceiving people and doing really hurtful things, and being hurt in return? I don't ask that you like what I'm making, but why can't you let me go?" Phair says she needed to distance herself from the hard-partying lifestyle in order to restore her sense of well-being, throwing out old ideas about creativity, pain and fitting into the rock 'n' roll mentality. "If you don't live sober enough to be in enough pain, you can just mask everything, and you'll never actually achieve happiness," she says. "You never learn how to deal." Yeah, not every song ever written by anyone is autobiographical, but I think it is safe to say that all the folks who assume that Table for One is Liz Phair describing her own personal experiences as an addict are undeniably CORRECT. |

Mistake above, should be: Feasting *gleefully* On my desperation Not "feasting bleed through me" (which doesn't really make any sense at all, grammatically or logically) |

Lots of typos in the lyrics. Should be: Don't worry, Mother, it'll be alright And don't worry, Sister, say your prayers and sleep tight And it'll be fine, Lover of Mine, It'll be just fine And lend your voices only to sounds of freedom No longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from Fill your lives with love and bravery And you shall lead a life uncommon I've heard your anguish I've heard your hearts cry out We are tired, we are weary, but we aren't worn out Set down your chains 'til only faith remains Set down you chains And lend your voices only to sounds of freedom No longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from Fill your lives with love and bravery And we shall lead a life uncommon There are plenty of people who pray for peace But if praying were enough it would have come to be Let your words enslave no one and the heavens will hush themselves to hear Our voices ring out clear with sounds of freedom Sounds of freedom Come on you unbelievers, move out of the way There is a new army coming and we are armed with faith To live, we must give... to live And lend our voices only to sounds of freedom No longer lend our strength to that which we wish to be free from Fill your lives with love and bravery And we shall lead... And lend our voices only to sounds of freedom! No longer lend our strength to that which we wish to be free from Fill you lives with love and bravery And we shall lead a life uncommon |
