description:
A wise comedian once said, "In order to drink gin, you must be 45, a woman..... and on the stairs."
He then went on about women who cry on the stairs after drinking too much gin.

These are songs I feel I would listen to in that situation. Or maybe songs I would play in the backround of a movie in that situation. There aren't that many, but this idea was a demanding one.
It got a lot sadder than I initially planned, but I think it's still pretty bitchin'.

Year: 1974
Track Description:
Two drinks in, and everyone's feelin' a little loose. Someone puts Bonnie on the stereo, and the ladies have a sing-a-long, just like in all those empowering chick-flicks. This stuff seriously happens, you guys. I've seen it with my own eyes.

Year: 1971
Track Description:
Well, not all good times last forever. Our protagonist gets a little too drunk, starts to puke everywhere and mourn her life. Why did her husband leave her? Why is her daughter so mean to her? Why doesn't she ever stick to her diets?
I think it's time we get you home, honey.

Track 7 from Grow Up and Blow Away
Length: 00:03:38
Year: 2001
Track Description:
Poor lady. She forgot her keys at Jeana's house, but was too embarrassed to tell her DD. So, she sneaks through her bedroom window that she luckily left ajar this cool summer night, and crawls into her bathroom to make the proper sacrifices to her porcelain god.
Don't worry, Jeana called her house to let her daughter know, so she'd take care of her. After all, her daughter was a party girl and could understand. Good thing soccer moms have short hair, otherwise she'd have to hold something AND rub her mom's back.

Well, looks like it's time for bed. Mom's feeling better, so she crawls into bed. That faithful offspring of hers leaves two tylenol and a glass of water on the bedstand. Good girl.

"My little girl's lookin' back at me tryin' to believe in me. Charlie, tell me if you still see somebody who looks like me."
She writes a letter to her ex-husband, she wants to get back together. She says it's for the kids, but it's not just them. She misses him more.

Maybe one day she'll actually send it.

Hello,
Lizzie Dickerson here. You have decided to add my song, "Charlie", to your mix. Which is nice. But I have to tell you- the lyrics are: "My little girl's eyes looking back at me". This is a problem of digital distribution...
The idea is that I was looking at my friend, Charlie, and what I was seeing in his eyes was the same fear I felt: it is very difficult to be an independent thinker sometimes, and sometimes when we need to be trailblazers, inside we all feel like scared little kids trying to believe in ourselves.
I hope that you find more use out of the lines "I'm tired of this great white American lie." I hope that instead of crying in your gin, you look your own little girl in the eyes and get out there and do something to shake up this world.
Thank you for listening to my music.
Lizzie Dickerson
