playlist

playlist of the month. or of the moment. whatever i decide.

september’s playlist: “and i eat men like air”

if you don’t know where i got that title, you are not a woman. or, you just don’t like suicidal poets the way i do. in honor of my twenty-first birthday this month, and the fact that i haven’t updated the playlist in months, and the fact that school is back in session and that means parties are as well, i thought i’d share the mix of songs that i like listening to while i’m showering, doing my hair, and actually doing my makeup, which happens very rarely. then go out and go clubbing or something, geez. just make sure you feel like a badass bitch who doesn’t need a man, even though secretly, we do all of this because we want a man really, really bad.

first, by lyrics:

1. “everybody look at me, me/i walk in the door you start screaming”

2. “say hello 2 the room where the party’s jumpin’/where the boys all freak ’cause boots are bumpin’/where the girls are naughty and always sayin’/'yes u can, yes u can, yes u can’”

3. “better wake up, you sleepyhead/the big old world will pass us by/so many things we can do instead/get what you want with your lucky eyes”

4. “no, i don’t even know your name/it doesn’t matter/you’re my experimental game”

5. “wash the stain/off his bed”

6. “tell me, am i your baby?/you misunderstood me/just want a piece of your ass”

7. “you found me on my knees/next thing you’re saying tease/i’m trying to find my phone and my keys not your sleaze/you always think the worst/i just wanna flirt”

8. “are you infatuated with me/i could end your curiosity”

9. “my lips are waiting/take me to love”

10. “she lands on both feet/won’t take the backseat/there’s a brave new girl/and she’s coming out tonight”

11. “i’m only having fun/i’m gonna live my life/(not the way you want me to)”

12. “hey, how long till the music drowns you out?/don’t put words up in my mouth/i didn’t steal your boyfriend”

13. “boy i told you twice/i was only trying to be nice/only trying to be nice oh/i didn’t mean to turn you on”

14. “it’s 12am, drop off my crew/1am i’m calling you/it’s 2am, what you wanna do tonight”

15. “i’m too hood for you/i’m not trying to act too good for you/i’m just trying to tell you what’s really true”

16. “i don’t think you’re ready for this jelly”

17. “and it looks like daylight’s gonna get me up again/(damn right, and i’m loving every minute)/most people like getting up when i’m just getting in”
