4 Liz Phair Songs About McShep (And One About Ianto Jones)
1. Polyester Bride
I was talking, not two days ago
To a certain bartender I'm lucky to know
And I asked Henry, my bartending friend
If I should bother dating unfamous men
And Henry said,
"You're lucky to even know me,
You're lucky to be alive.
You're lucky to be drinking here for free,
'cause I'm a sucker for your lucky, pretty eyes."
This song is so ridiculous! And I can totally imagine John doing this when he is seventeen and really really gay and fighting with his dad over going into the air force, and having fantastic teenage angst over ever finding a hot boyfriend to fuck him. Hee!
2. What Makes You Happy
But don't worry, mom, I met him in a restaurant
And all this time I've been getting to know him
He's got an ex-wife in Pasadena
And sometimes she's a mess to deal with
But mostly we've been living here uninjured
There's a silence, and she says:
"Listen here young lady
All that matter is what makes you happy
But you leave this house knowing my opinion
won't make you love me if you don't care to."
Rodney has pretty much exactly this conversation with his sister when he tells her about John. She is skeptical, at best - hey, she's met John, she knows what a mess he is! Not to mention knowing how badly Rodney screws up most of his relationships. Rodney's tentative 'I really think this could work' is so endearing though.
3. Fuck and Run
I woke up alarmed
I didn't know where I was at first
Just that I woke up in your arms
And almost immediately I felt sorry
'Cause I didn't think this would happen again
No matter what I could do or say
Just that I didn't think this would happen again
With or without my best intentions
And whatever happened to a boyfriend
The kind of guy who tries to win you over?
And whatever happened to a boyfriend
The kind of guy who makes love 'cause he's in it?
OH JOHN, YOU HAVE SO MANY ISSUES. Because none of his hook-ups have ever loved him! And he just wants a boyfriend! Who will love him and squeeze him and call himGeorge baby sweetie John. Luckily, Rodney wants that too, so cuddling and schmoopiness and complex equations for all are in the future.
4. Supernova
You walk in clouds of glitter and the sun reflects your eyes
And everytime the wind blows, I can smell you in the sky
Your kisses are as wicked as an F-16
And you fuck like a volcano, and you're everything to me
'Cause you're a human supernova
A solar superman
You're an angel with wings afire
A flying, giant friction blast
You're a giant, flying friction blast
John about Rodney, obviously. Because only John Sheppard would compare his boyfriend to a jet plane; he's just that much of a dork. Also, he is maybe just a little hardcore in his romantic feelings? Just a little. But it's still sweet. (Also: giant friction blast? Kinky.)
5. Extraordinary
You think that I go home at night
Take off my clothes, turn out the lights
But I burn letters that I write
To you, to make you love me
Yeah, I drive naked through the park
And run the stop sign in the dark
Stand in the street, yell out my heart
To make, to make you love me
Just because Ianto is the Tea Boy does not mean you should underestimate him (Owen, take note!). Nor does it mean he is boring and not important enough to be shagging the boss or have the boss madly in love with him.
