Jill Sobule (born January 16, 1965 in Denver, Colorado) is an American singer-songwriter best known for the 1995 single "I Kissed a Girl", and "Supermodel" from the soundtrack of the 1995 film Clueless. Her folk-inflected compositions alternate between ironic, story-driven character studies and emotive ballads, a duality reminiscent of such 1970s American songwriters as Warren Zevon, Harry Nilsson, Loudon Wainwright III, Harry Chapin, and Randy Newman. Autobiographical elements, including Sobule's Jewish heritage and her adolescent battles with anorexia and depression, frequently occur in Sobule's writing.

I lost my keys, I lost my heart
I lost my car in the parking lot
Lost my voice, but can her sing
From the Island of Lost Things
Island of Lost Things

I lost my phone, I lost my way
Lost the hours of the day
Grandma's ring swirled down the drain.
To the island of lost things
Island of Lost Things

I lost my shirt, I lost my aim
I lost the person I could blame.
I wish I could recall his name
The Island of Lost Things

My mom was not a hoarder
She threw everything away
My 45s, my favorite toys
The shoebox full of  Polaroids.
Plastic on the good couch
Everything was always clean
A vacuum bag of treasures
In the island of lost things

I lost my wallet , my ID
Is someone else becoming me
My girlfriend's somewhere on the seas
To the Island of Lost Things
Island of Lost Things

I'd like to book a trip there
Maybe I could find
Traipsing through the ruins
The dream I left behind
I'd put it in my pocket
And I'd clip its wings
So it could never fly again
To the Island of Lost Things

I Lost my pop, I lost my fizz
Oh the wonder that I miss
I miss the taste of your sweet kiss
The Island of Lost Things
The Island of Lost Things

And if you ever go there
Call me if you find
What happened to my true love
The one I left behind
Is she underneath a palm tree
Staring out to sea
Spinning my old records
On the Island of Lost Things

lost my keys, I lost my heart
I lost my car in the parking lot
Lost my voice, but can her sing
From the Island of Lost Things
Island of Lost Things
