Liz Phair - Flower Live in London 10/07/03

[@theegirlnexdoor]

This song is such a turn on and a great a song to dance and sing to

[@SLASHERamc]

I could sing this without stopping >.

[@skye96]

I'm surprised at how rare this is - but honestly, even though this song probably isn't to be taken literally, this is how I feel, as a woman. Sometimes you just feel pure lust for somebody and I think this song is pretty great for summing that up. Also, I prefer the Girlysounds version, I guess just because that's the one I heard first.

[@kencoleman5007]

I saw her in Syracuse in February of '03. It was Valentine's Day, and that was her segue to this song. Still has left an impression 12 years later.

[@rockabillydj]

This is KILLER! Unbelievable, and fantastic! GENIUS

[@annersbananers]

She didn't "sell out". She grew up. You can't expect her to be the exact same that she was when she was 22. She's almost 40 now. Her lyrics are more brutally honest now than they ever were. I know she had help writing them, but it was only in the editing because they couldn't be played on the radio.

[@coastalcapybara]

She's 52 now! Hi, how was 2008?

[@Pinebrookjohn75]

Her pop album was a sellout

[@a.b3748]

To me it sounds dark and melancholic (in a good way) more than sexy, party song. The chords or melody whatever it's called!!! Incredible.

[@potshot11]

Read the lyric sheet. It's completely sexually unhinged. In a good way I think. Not unhinged like the US government.

[@tdsims1963]

One of the most wonderful songs ever written about female lust! Liz forever!

[@Ranksta07]

So well said! thumbs up!

[@handfull13]

Din't know this live version. Like it a lot

[@jeff.s.7160]

Thank you dream woman.

[@LaDaviDaDuda]

I love this

[@shep903]

Love how this version is so much more emotional than the album version. She's not as stoic as on the album and its so much more real, all these years later.

[@cherrulez1]

It's "girlfriend" on the Girlysounds tape, but "minions" on the album rendition, Exile in Guyville

[@lexusdevotee]

I like the lyrics she sings in "Flower".

[@AdrianColley]

Woo! An extra verse!

[@joannacieslak1993]

English is not my first language and I can't understand those extra verses. Can you write them down for me? Pretty pretty please *^^* when I'll see them written in english I could understand them more.

[@SupaSaulito]

@@joannacieslak1993 3 yrs later but ill try: Your face is like, an English rose I like the crook of your big bong(?) nose It makes me think of other things Like what you got inside your jeans Maybe im up here on stage Maybe you're acting the uhh... Maybe im gonna get to you No matter what you think I'll do Because im just a white girl here, I cant rap much, but i can stare(??not sure) And there's alot of things i know

[@SINthia23]

oh. cool. thanx.

[@Draue3]

Amen to you binnyman, amen!

[@janotosinnumeros]

Totally agree.

[@AJandWrmyinitials]

2:33 “let’s keep going though, I like it Your face is like an English rose I like the crook of your ????? nose It makes me think of other things Like what you’ve got inside your jeans Maybe I’m up here on stage And maybe you’re out in the (????) And baby I’ma get to you No matter what you need I’ll do Because I’m just (????), a (????), and I can’t (????) And there’s a lot of things I know” Anybody that can fill in their se blanks gets a cookie

[@handfull13]

Liked the original version allready. But now she made a real song of it. Like it a lot

[@memostillthebomb]

pansy division did a cover of this song and it seems like she covered their cover of her own song. genius.

[@rebecca8525]

Just a nice, clean song. Oh, wait......

[@QuestionableLifeChoices]

huh. its better live. awesome!

[@SapphireDreamssss]

The end sounds like Turn It On by FlamingLips

[@Philip8510]

i like girlfriends version but i like the way mininos sounds in the song

[@TheUsualSuspekt]

My 2nd favorite song from this album.

[@TheMarkoPolo2011]

What's your first?

[@danilinn3206]

suspekt29 isn't fuck & run every girl-woman's favorite?

[@SINthia23]

is it minions or girlfriend in the correct lyrics? cuz i've heard both...

[@dontweallneedhelp.1772]

Cyn NotCindy I thought it was union suit. (From what I heard in the original)

[@EmpressOrchid]

its both, depending on the lyric, it changes in the song

[@binnyman]

Why can't a female express herself? And it's not like a gangsta rapper degrading women;In fact, it's a retort to such attacks. I believe her songs are a rather intelligent comment on social mores and parameters. I like this live version even better than the unrelased studio cut. Peace:-)

[@JoeysGotaSecret]

the first three albums were amazing - especially whitechocolatespaceegg, so eclectic, shows so much talent, fucking amazing ... so yeah youre wrong lol. but after that she def sold out.

[@Scrap5000]

@snesjenn Not even close

[@leela8327]

'OMG shes a bimbo!' said by a close friend

[@lifeisagifthorse]

She sold-out after Whip Smart... The first album was great, the second album good, the third sucked & then she was rubbing herself on cars she was trying to sell... to songs she'd written for the purpose. (Sad, sad, sad.)

[@Scrap5000]

Oooohhhh the dirty, dirty things I would do with Liz...if only she would ask me to, lol

[@rothsuede]

Worst song she ever made - it sounds childish.

[@kosterix123]

really? Did you hear the lyrics?

[@rothsuede]

Not really.

[@brendanjarvis8554]

It’s supposed to. It’s a juxtaposition of a childlike melody with lust. Brilliant song.
