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.

Don’t Have Time Lyrics

Liz Phair

Take a look around
This is what its now
Its a little bridge now, baby
Its a little bridge now
Just a photograph
Kinda makes me laugh
Its a little kid now, baby
Some little kid
If I could solve your problems
What do you think I would be
One stupid seagull picking styrofoam up out of the sea?
Dont have time
Dont have time
Dont have time for all your problems
Why dont you solve them?
Take a look around
This is what its now
Its a little bridge now, baby
Its a little bridge now
Just a photograph
Kinda makes me laugh
Its a little kid now
Pudgy, dumb little kid
If I could solve your problems
What do you think I would see?
All of my beautiful banquet receipts have been laid out for me
Its been played out for me
Dont have time for your fear, and your tea, and your queer little feats
And your joy, and your sweet little boy
And youre trapped in your sphere
Im sorry but no ones home
I couldnt hear you, and now I think Ive lost you
I couldve made it easier and you would think thats good
Dont remember feeling older any worse than feeling wooden and alone
Wooden and alone
