Liz Phair (born Elizabeth Clark Phair on April 17, 1967 in New Haven, Connecticut) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. Phair's entry into the music industry began when she met guitarist Chris Brokaw, a member of the band Come. Brokaw was visiting her San Francisco loft-mate Nora Maccoby when he heard Phair's songs, and encouraged her to record them. After moving back to Chicago, Phair began writing songs and recording homemade tapes under the name Girly Sound, and supported herself by selling her drawings on the streets of Chicago. She soon became apart of the alternative music scene in Chicago and became friends with Material Issue and Urge Overkill, two of Chicago's upstart bands to go national in the early 1990s, as well as Brad Wood and John Henderson, head of Feel Good All Over, an independent label in Chicago.

Cinco do mayo, blowout denial
It wasnt fun this time letting you go
What if I never, a bullet forever
Held out my hand to you
We wouldnt have known
Absolute measure, I aint no pleasure hound
Buss out of control
Plowing the road out on a bender, just alice falling down a deepening hole
Ive never been to rome until you smiled
Youre about as old and piled
Now I just wonder what spell I was under
Thinking you though of me as something to hold
Ive never been to rome until you smiled
Youre about as old and piled
Cinco de mayo, burnout ohio
It wasnt me this time letting you go
