liz phair cover band?

he's got a million dollar car 
he's got a thirty-seven year old guitar 
he's got a family who deals heroin 
you're on the edge of your chair 
and you feel it 
he's looking at you, he's laughing at you 
it's happening 

i can't, i can't believe it 
but it's here on the pages i'm reading 
it's all i can do to conceal my feelings of jealousy 
jealousy 

i know it's just a drawer of photographs 
they're ex-girlfriends, i try to remember that 
i don't wanna look, but i'm already hooked on jealousy 
jealousy 

i can't believe you had a life before me 
i can't believe they let you run around free 
just putting your body wherever it seemed like a good idea 
what a good idea 

standing on the corner watching the ladies pass by 
imagining me behind your eyes 
and what did i see? 
i saw hips, i saw thighs 
i saw secret positions that we never try 
i saw jealousy 
i saw jealousy 

i can't, i can't believe it 
but it's here in this place and i see it 
it's all i can do to conceal my feelings of jealousy 
jealousy 

standing on the mudflats watching the salmon fly 
wonder if i'll ever bury the hatchet inside 
imagining me behind your eyes 
and what did i see? 
i saw hips, i saw thighs 
i saw secret positions that we never try 
i saw jealousy 
i saw jealousy 

i can't believe you had a life before me 
 can't believe they let you run around free 
just putting your body wherever it seemed like a good idea 
what a good idea
