Build your own television receiver
Staying home can't be that bad for me
'Cause I'm not scared
But I'd like some extra spare time
Easily earn me big money
I'm a modern girl but I fold in half so easily (besttt)
When I put myself in the picture of success
I could learn world trade or try to map the ocean
When you're dead
In hospitals and freeways
When you're dead
In resting homes and clinics
When you're dead
It must be nice to finish
When you're dead
I've had it with you
And Mexico can fucking wait (scream that shit there's so much passion in this line..)
And all of those French films about trains
'Cause I'm not scared
But I'd like some extra spare time
I'm not scared
But the bills keep changing colors
When you're dead
In hospitals and freeways
When you're dead
In dress shirts and neckties
When you're dead
In apartments and on beaches
When you're dead
They say California is a recipe for a black hole
And I say I've got my best shoes on
I'm ready to go (Ready to go)
Ready to go
These are times that can't be weathered
And we have never been back there since then

Another one of Maddie's fav songs of all time post: I do not listen to Jane's Addiction (--dope--ass band name) but this song is a fam staple. I heard this song all the time growing up. I get together with my family often, more specifically my parents/aunt + uncle and we play games and listen to music all night. My mom, dad, and uncle play this song everytime which I admit has become old butttt we are obsessed and scream the lyrics everytime. Its a family staple songggg but also the lyrics are beautiful and it tells a good story. Its quite literally about jane's addiction ...
Jane says, "I'm done with Sergio
He treat me like a ragdoll"
She hides the television
Said, "I don't owe him nothin'
But if, oh, he come back again, tell him, wait right here for me
Or try again tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow (knowing addiction too well that's what they all say)
Jane says, "Have you seen my wig around
I feel naked without it"
She knows they all want her to go
But that's okay, man, she don't like them anyway
Jane says, "I'm goin' away to Spain when I get my money saved (this song is based off a real jane and apparently she got sober and ended up visiting spain :))
Gonna start tomorrow
Well, she get mad, then she start to cry
She take a swing that she can't hit! (she cant hit line so amazing to scream out loud)
She don't mean no harm, she just don't know
(Don't know, don't know)
What else to do about it
Then Jane goes to the store at 8
She walks up on St. Andrews
She waits and a-gets her dinner there
She pulls her dinner from her pocket
Jane says, "I ain't never been in love, I don't know what it is" (heartbreakingggg)
She only knows if someone wants her
anyways awesome song!

Broke into the screened in porch
Now I'm crawling through the dog door
I may let you see me on my knees
But you'll never see me on all fours
Drooling on the tile
I'm a starfish on the kitchen floor
Catch my breath to breathe your name
I am just the fool you took me for, uh-huh
...
You gave me your hands
'Cause you didn't know what to do with them
And I showed you the way, even though I'd never been
Where did we go right? I think about it all the time
If I had paid closer attention
Maybe I could take us back to there and then
But you can't feel it for the first time, a second time
You can't feel it for the first time, a second time
I can't go back to who I was before I met you
I can't undo what I've done, I wouldn't want to
I wouldn't want to, I wouldn't want to
Sneaking out of the house
I must be out of my mind
I'm running out of excuses
We're running out of time
You say the love will come and go
We'll learn to ride the ebb and flow
You'll always leave before the light
Come back same time and place the next night
And how will I know
If history repeats itself?
How will I know
When it's gonna come back around?
How will I know?
Has my faced changed, baby?
How will I know?
I'll stay ready for you to take me, take me, take me
Take me
yes i quoted almost the whole song. its so fucking good

this time last year i would listen to this song every day on the subway to my mind-numbingly boring barista job. i worked eight hour shifts alone, serving the occasional customer but mostly just sitting around eating expired baked goods and staring down at my ten-year-old docs spattered with matcha and espresso, the soles crusted with sidewalk salt. i listened to Phair singing about closing her eyes and her bank account and needing someone to do her thinking for her, and i fantasized about walking away from the shapeless, sleepy postgraduate life i’d sunk into.
taking off my apron, abandoning the city and everyone who knew me there, getting on a train or a plane or just walking until i was swallowed by the sunset…it all sounds so trite now, but at the time i carried that idea around like a lucky charm. something to hold onto, to help me feel real. i thought it was the most romantic thing a girl could do. go west, young woman.
