Tori Amos love thread
eddies grrl
Posts: 509
Yes, I've shown Tori much love in various threads before, but I think she deserves her own thread. She is just so talented and cool, imo. Who's with me?!?
Eh, even if I'm alone, I don't care! Tori, you rock, girl.
every finger in the room
is pointing at me
i wanna spit in their faces
but i think about what that could bring
got a bowling ball in my stomach
got a desert in my mouth
figures that my courage would choose to sell out now
i've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
i've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in
just what god needs
one more victim
why do we crucify ourselves?
everyday
i crucify myself
nothing i do is good enough for you
i crucify myself
everyday
i crucify myself
my heart is sick of bein'
said my heart is sick of being in chains
got a kick for a dog
begging for love
gotta have my suffering so that
i can have my crosses
well a cat named easter, he says
will you never learn?
you're just an empty cage, girl
if you kill the bird
i've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
i've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in
got enough guilt to start
my own religion
why do we crucify ourselves?
everyday
i crucify myself
nothing i do is good enough for you
i crucify myself
everyday
i crucify myself
my heart is sick of bein'
said my heart is sick of being in chains
i have crawled my way back
and i am never going back again
to crucify myself

she can sing very very well
what she ´s doin on the piano is fantastic faboulos amazing
every young lead singer should look on her(not on madonna etc.)
she doesn´t need any scandal etc.
she is great !!!
I was just standing there in awe over how she filled the air with just her and her piano. Still, I prefer her with some backing. Like on the "Welcome To Sunny Florida" dvd. I'm not the biggest fan of hers, but I think she's put out some great work out there. I only have that dvd and a couple of her albums, and I gotta say I prefer From The Choirlgirl Hotel.
And unlike a lot of others I think the Smells Of Teen Spirit cover she did was amazing. She really makes it her own. Black on the other hand..
She's also such a cool lady, saw an interview with her not so long back where she was talking about her daughter ordering champagne to their hotel room at an age of three! That seriously made me laugh out laud, just the way she was telling the story. She seems so dedicated to everything she does; her music, her daughter, everything. She's a great lady.
i hope she tours with them again soon,
have you guys heard her cover of black??

don't make me pull you out of his bed
i am vigilant
that it will not be you on the menu
he's serving up for his friends
don't make me come to vegas
don't make me pull him out of your head
athena will attest
that it could be done
and it has been done
and i think that i am up to it
and the jacaranda tree she's telling me
all the trouble you're in
just by the way she bends
i remember you dancing
wondering as you were swaying
what kind of woman you'll be
"what will be, will be"
over my dead body
don't make me come to vegas
don't make me come to vegas

takes you away again
are you flying
above where i live?
when i look up
a glare in my eye
are you having regrets
about last night?
i'm not, but i like rivers that
rush in
so then i dove in
is there trouble ahead
for you, the acrobat?
i won't push you
unless you have a net
you say the word
you know i will find you
or if you need some time
i don't mind
i don't hold onto the tail of your kite
i'm not like the girls that you've known
but i believe i'm worth coming home to
(i'll) kiss away the night
this girl only sleeps with butterflies
so go on and fly, then, boy
balloons look good from on the ground
but i fear with pins & needles around
we may fall and stumble
upon a carousel
it could take us
anywhere
you say the word
you know i will find you
or if you need some time

that type of girl drives me so F*CKING CRAZY
Don't you want more then my sex
I can scream as loud as your last one
But I can't claim innocence
Oh God
Could it be the weather
Oh God
Why am I here
If love Isn't forever
And it's not the weather
Hand me my leather
I could just pretend that you love me
Then I would lose all sense of fear
But why do I need you to love me
When you can't hold what I hold dear
Oh God
Could it be the weather
Oh God
Why am I here
If love Isn't forever
And it's not the weather
Hand me my leather
I almost ran over an angel
He had a nice big fat cigar
"In a sense" he said "You're alone here,
So if you jump, you'd best jump far"
Oh God
Could it be the weather
Oh God
Why am I here
If love Isn't forever
And it's not the weather
Hand me my leather

Snow can wait
I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose
Get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart
When I think of winter
I put my hand in my father's glove
I run off
Where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice,
"Your must learn to stand up for yourself
Cause I can't always be around"
He says,
"When you gonna make up your mind?
When you gonna love you as much as I do?
When you gonna make up your mind?
Cause things are gonna change so fast"
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change, my dear
Boys get discovered as winter melts
Flowers competing for the sun
Years go by and I'm here still waiting
Withering where some snowman was
Mirror mirror where's the crystal palace?
But I only can see the myself
Skating around the truth who I am
But I know, dad, the ice is getting thin
"When you gonna make up your mind?
When you gonna love you as much as I do?
When you gonna make up your mind?
Cause things are gonna change so fast"
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change, my dear
Hair is grey
And the fires are burning
So many dreams
On the shelf
You say, "I wanted you to be proud of me"
Well I always wanted that myself
He says,
"When you gonna make up your mind?
When you gonna love you as much as I do?
When you gonna make up your mind?
Cause things are gonna change so fast"
All the white horses have gone ahead
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change,
My dear
Never change...

I am not you senorita
I am not from your tribe
In the garden I did no crime
If you want inside her
Well, boy you better make her raspberry swirl
Things are getting desperate
When all the boys can't be men
Everybody knows
I'm her friend
Everybody knows
I'm her man
I am not your senorita
I don't aim so high
In my heart I did no crime
If you want inside her
Well, boy you better make her raspberry swirl
Things are getting desperate
When all the boys can't be men
Everybody knows
I'm her friend
Everybody knows
I'm her man

he liked my shoes, I kept them on.
Sometimes I can hold my tongue, sometimes not,
when you just skip-to-loo, my darlin',
and you know what you're doin' so don't even...
You're just too used to my honey, now.
You're just too used to my honey.
And I think I could leave your world,
if she was the better girl.
So when we died I tried to bribe the undertaker.
'Cause I'm not sure what you're doin' or the reasons.
You're just too used to my honey, now.
You're just too used to my honey.
Don't bother coming down,
i made a friend of the western sky.
oh, Don't bother coming down,
you always liked your babies tight.
Turn back one last time, love to watch those cowboys ride.
But cowboys know cowgirls ride on the Indian side.
And you know what you're doin' so don't even...
You're just too used to my honey, now.
You're just too used to my honey.
I said, you're just too used to my honey, now.

I saw her again on the next tour and It was amazing but not as good as the last time, I have to say her first 3 albums (especially "Pele") are untouchable classics but I haven't been blown away by her last couple of albums, I still love her though, there were a couple of great covers on "Strange little girl", "Time" almost makes me burst into tears everytime I hear it!
www.myspace.com/freeview
I saw her during her very first US tour, for Little Earthquakes. It was in a small, old-fashioned theater that seats less than 1000 and she was phenomenal. I was pregnant with my son at the time, so I tell him that he was at the Tori show, too. He just rolls his eyes at me, of course.
I really NEED to see another show of hers. She's just great, live. Have you seen the Welcome to Sunny Florida DVD? I really love it. Wonderful selection of tunes on it.

I’m still up and driving, can’t go home obviously
So I’ll just change direcition
'cause they’ll soon know where I live
And I wanna live
Got a full tank and some chips
It was me and a gun and a man on my back
And I sang “holy holy” as he buttoned down his pants
You can laugh, it’s kind of funny, the things you think at times like these
Like, I haven’t seen barbados, so I must get out of this
Yes I wore a slinky red thing, does that mean I should spread
For you, your friends, your father, Mr. Ed?
It was me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven’t seen barbados, so I must get out of this
And I know what this means, me and Jesus a few years back
Used to hang and he said “it’s your choice babe, just remember
I don’t think that you’ll be back in 3 days time so you choose well”
Tell me what’s right, is it my right to be on my stomach of a red Seville?
It was me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven’t seen barbados, so I must get out of this
And do you know carolina where the biscuits are soft and sweet?
These things go through you head when there’s a man on your back
And you’re pushed flat on your stomach, it’s not a classic cadillac
Me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven’t seen barbados, so I must get out of this
I haven’t seen barbados, so I must get out of this

God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you?
God sometimes you just don't come through
You make pretty daisies pretty daisies
I gotta find what you're doing about things
Here a few witches burning
Gets a little toasty here
I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows
Tell me you're crazy maybe then I'll understand
You got your 9 iron in the back seat
Just in case
Heard you've gone south well
Babe you love your new 4 wheel
I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows
Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall
Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall?
God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you?
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you?

pull me back down
another year
i was here
i was here
whipping past
the reflecting pool
me and you
skipping school
and we make it up
as we go along
we make it up we
go along
you said - do i have-
of course i have,
beneath my raincoat,
i have your photographs
and the sun on your face,
i'm freezing that frame
how did it go so fast
you'll say
as we are looking
back
and then we'll
understand
we held gold dust
in our
hands
sights and sounds
pull me back down
another year
i was here
i was here
gaslights
glow in the street
(flickering past)
twilight held us
in her palm
as we walked along
and we make it up
as we go along
we make it up as we go along
how did it go so
fast
you'll say as we are looking back
and then we'll understand...
we held gold dust
in our
hands
in our
hands...

equals the loneliness you get
" makes much more sense to live in the present tense "
PLEASE get scarlet's walk. if you don't you're missing out on a LOT of good, good tunes.
i have a really hard time with boys for pele, only a few songs do i really love from that one. but additional listens tends to cure that, especially when it comes to complex artists like tori.
