A Sorta Fairytale

on my way up north
up on the ventura
i pulled back the hood
and i was talking to you
and i knew then it would be
a life long thing
but i didn't know that we
we could break a silver lining

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

things you said that day
up on the 101
the girl had come undone
i tried to downplay it
with a bet about us
you said that-
you'd take it
as long as i could
i could not erase it

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

and i ride along side
and i rode along side
you then
and i rode along side
till you lost me there
in the open road
and i rode along side
till the honey spread
itself so thin
for me to break your bread
for me to take your word
i had to steal it

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

i could pick back up
whenever i feel

down new mexico way
something about
the open road
i knew that he was
looking for some indian blood and
find a little in you find a little
in me we may be
on this road but
we're just
impostors
in this country you know
so we go along and we said
we'd fake it
feel better with
oliver stone
till i
almost smacked him -
seemed right that night and
i don't know what
takes hold
out there in the
desert cold
these guys think they must
try and just get over on us

and i'm so sad
like a good book
i can't put this
day back
a sorta fairytale
with you
a sorta fairytale
with you

and i was ridin' by
ridin' along side
for a while till you lost me
and i was ridin' by
ridin' along till you lost me
till you lost
me in
the rear
view
you lost me
i said

way up north i took my day
all in all was a pretty nice
day and i put the hood
right back where
you could taste heaven
perfectly
feel out the summer breeze
didn't know when we'd be back
and i, i don't
didn't think
we'd end up like
like this


Crucify


Every finger in the room is pointing at me
I wanna spit in their faces
Then I get affraid what that could bring
I got a bowling ball in my stomach
I 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
Every day I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day I crucify myself
And my HEART is sick of being in chains

Got a kick for a dog beggin' for LOVE
I gotta have my suffering
So that I can have my cross
I know a cat named Easter
He says will you ever learn
You're just an empty cage girl if you kill the brid

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
Every day I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day I crucify myself
And my HEART is sick of being in chains

Please be
Save me
I CRY

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
Where are those angels
When you need them

Why do we crucify ourselves
Every day I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day I crucify myself
And my HEART is sick of being in chains

Why do we change (chains?)
Crucify ourselves
Everyday

Never going back again
Crucify myself again
You know
Never going back again to
Crucify myself
Everyday

Me And A Gun

5am friday morning thursday night far from sleep
I'm still up and driving can't go home obviously
So I'll just change direction 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
Its kind of funny
Things you think
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 hink you'll be back in 3 days time so you choose well"
Tell me whats right
Is it my right to be on my stomach of Fred's 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 your head when there's a man on your back
And you're pushed flat on your stomach it's not a classic caddilac

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
I haven't seen BARBADOS so I must get out of this

~Sleeps With Butterflies~



Airplanes took you away
Are you flying
Above where we live
Then I look up a glare in my eyes
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 on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly then boy

Balloons
Look good from on the ground
I fear with pins and needles around
We may fall then stumble
Upon a carousel
It could take us anywhere

I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly boy



~Can't See New York~

from here
no lines are drawned
from here
no lands
are owned
13,000 and holding
swallowed
in the purring
of her engines
tracking the beacon
here
"is there a signal
there
on the other side"
on the other side?
what do you mean
side of what things?
and you said
and you did
and you said
you could find me here
and you said
you would find me
even in death
and you said
and you said
you'd find me
but i can't see new york
as i'm, circling down
through white cloud
falling out
and i know
his lips are warm
but i can't seem
to find my way out
my way out i can't see.
of this hunting ground
from here crystal meth
in metres of millions
in the end all we have,
soul blueprint.
did we get lost in it
do we conduct a search
for this "from the other side"
from the other side?
what do they mean
side of what things...
and you said.
you again
it's you again
i can't see
i can't see new york
from the other side
from the other side
i hum from the other side

~ The Beekeeper~

Flaxen hair blowing in the breeze
It is time for the geese to head south
I have come with my mustard seed
I cannot accept that she will be taken from me

"Do you know who I am" she said
"I'm the one who taps you on the shoulder when it's your time
Don't be afraid I promise that she will awake
Tomorrow somewhere
Tomorrow somewhere"

Wrap yourself around
The tree of life and the dance of the infinity
Of the hive
Take this message to Michael

I will comb myself into chains
In between the tap dance clan
And your ballerina gang
I have come for the beekeeper
I know you want my
You want my queen
Anything but this
Can you use me instead?

In your gown with your breathing mask
Plugged into a heart machien
As if you ever needed one
I must see the beekeeper I must see if she'll keep her alive
Call Engine 49 I have come with my mustard seed

Maybe I'm passing you by
Just passing you by girl
I'm passing you by
On my way
On my way
I'm just passing you by
But don't be confused
One day I'll be coming for you...
I must see the beekeeper
I must see the beekeeper




~1000 Oceans~

These tears I've cried, I've cried a thousand oceans.
And if it seems I'm flo...o...ating in the darkness, well,
I can't believe that I would keep, keep you from flying.
And I would cry a thousand more if that's what it takes to sail you home.
Sail you home. Sail you home.

I'm aware what the rules are, but you know that I will run.
You know that I will... follow you.
Over Silbury hill through the solar field.
You know that I will... follow you.


And if I find you, will you still remember m-playing at trains,
Or does this li-little blue ball just fade away?
Over Silbury hill through the solar field.
You know that I will... follow you.
I'm aware what the rules are, but you know that I will run.
You know that I will... follow you.


These tears I've cried, I've cried a thousand oceans.
And if it seems I'm flo...o...ating in the darkness, well,
I can't believe that I wouldn't keep, keep you from flying.
So I would cry a thousand more if that's what it takes to sail you home.
Sail you home. Sail you home. Sail... Sail you home...

~ Another Girl's Paradise~

You caught me lingering in another girl's paradise,
The way she paints the world- I want that in my life.
Emeralds, you should know, are renting in her meadow.
With a stroke beauty lives,
How could I resist, you are Desire.

When it all is said, said and done,
Who can love you and still be standing.
There's Mary calling up a storm.
Can I take from you and not keep taking?
Naked as day Gemma follows him.
Does it all come down to,
The thing one girl fears in the night,
Is another girl's paradise?


Through twists and turns, Jasmine foxed me in her grove.
Arms filled with honey-bells, St. Michael's Sanford Bloods.
"You have come to discover what you want,"
What I want is not to want what isn't mine.
"But I am Desire."


When it all is said, said and done,
Who can love you and still be standing.
There's Mary calling up a storm.
Can I take from you and not keep taking?
Naked as day Gemma follows him.
Does it all come down to,
The thing one girl fears in the night,
Is another girl's paradise?


Ah-ha-ho. Ah-ha ah-ha and I know you keep telling me.
Ah-ha-ha. Ah-ha ah-ha does it all come down to,
The thing one girl fears in the night...
Is another girl, a-is another girl,
A-is another girl's paradise.


~Black Dove[January]~

She was a January girl, she never let on how insane it was,
In that tiny kind of scary house,
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods...
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods...

Black-dove... Black-dove...
You're not a helicopter, you're not a cop-out either, honey.
Black-dove... Black-dove...
You don't need a space ship. They don't know you've already lived...
On the other side of the galaxy.
The other side of the galaxy. The other side of the galaxy.


She had a January world. So many storms not right somehow.
How a lion becomes a mouse...
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods...
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods...
But I have to get to Texas, said I have to get to Texas.
And I'll give away my blue, blue dress... blue, blue dress.


Black-dove... Black-dove...
You're not a helicopter, you're not a cop-out either, honey.
Black-dove... Black-dove...
You don't need a space ship. They don't know you've already lived...
On the other side of the galaxy.
The other side of... The other side of the galaxy, heh.


But I have to get to Texas (sometime), Said I have to get to Texas (sometime).
And I'll give away my blue dress, because cowboy,
The snakes- they are my kin, are my kin. Ahay...
She has a January girl, she never let on how insane it was....
In that tiny kind of scary house.
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods...
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods...

~Bliss~


Father, I killed my monkey I let it out to taste the sweet of Spring.
Wonder if I will wonder out, test my tether to see if I'm still free from you.


Steady as it comes right down to you. I said it all...
So maybe we're a bliss of another kind. I said a bliss of another kind, I said.


Lately I'm into circuitry, what it means to be made of you but not enough for you.
And I wonder if you can bilocate, is that what I taste, your supernova juice?
You know it's true- I'm part of you.


Steady as it comes right down to you. I said it all...
So maybe we're a bliss of another kind.
I said steady as it comes right down to you. I said it all...
So maybe you're a four-horse engine with a power drive.
I said, a hot kachina who wants into mine.
I said, take it, take it with your ter-a-terracide.
And I said, steady as it comes right down to you. I said it all...
So maybe we're a bliss of another kind,
I said a bliss of another kind, I said a bliss of another kind.
I said a bliss of, a bliss of, a bliss of another kind.





~Cornflake Girl~

Never was a cornflake girl.
Thought that was a good solution hangin' with the raisin girls.
She's gone to the other side givin' us a yo-heave-ho.
Things are getting king of gross and I go at sleepy time.

This is not really, this-a-this-a-this is not really happening.
You bet your life it is, you bet your life it is.
Oh, honey, you bet your life it's a-
Peel out the watchword, just peel out the watchword.


She knows what's goin' on.
Seems we got a cheaper feel now all the sweeteaze are gone.
Gone to the other side with my encyclopedia.
They must'a paid her a nice price- she's puttin' on her string bean love.


This is not really, this-a-this-a-this is not really happening.
You bet your life it is, you bet your life it is.
Oh honey, you bet your life it's a-
Peel out the watchword, just peel out the watchword.
Never was cornflake girl- thought that was a good solution.


Rabbit... where'd you put the keys girl?
Rabbit... where'd you put the keys girl, oho.
Rabbit... where'd you put the keys, a yes.
Rabbit... where'd you put the keys, where'd you put the keys girl?
Oh huh huh huh, oh huh huh huh huh.
Oh huh huh huh, oh huh huh huh huh.


And the man with the golden gun thinks he knows so much (nobody knows),
Thinks he knows so much, yeah (nobody knows).
And the man with the golden gun thinks he knows so much (nobody knows),
Thinks he knows so much, yeah (nobody knows).

Tori Amos (Tori Ejmos) je americka rok pianistKinja i tekstopisac brojnih hitova,rodjena 2.Avgusta 1963.
Sa pet godina pochela je da komponuje muziku za klavir,a sa devet ubacivala tekstove u svoje kompozicije.
1968.god u Rokvilu ,dobila je skolarinu na Peabody Conservatory of Music.Sa pet godina bila je najmladja
osoba koja je zapocela skolovanje ikad.
Njeno shkolovanje je prekinuto sa 11 godina kada je izbacena. Bila je ubjedjena da je izgubila skolovanje zbog
njenog interesovanja za pop i rok i odbojnosti prema notnim sveskama.

Dvije godine kasnije ,zapochinje studije na Montgomery College ,kao i sviranje po piano barovima,uz pratnju
svog oca ,koji je producentskim kucama slao snimke pjesama koje je komponovala.

Prvi put je primjecena pobjedom na takmicenju mladih talenata 1977.godine,sa pjesmom "More Than Just a Friend".
Na zavrsnoj godini Richard Montgomery High School ,sa bratom Mike Amos-om ,napisala je "Baltimore".
Pjesma je postala njen prvi singl.

U 21.godini zivota ,seli se u Los Angeles jureci muzicku karijeru.Kratko se bavila glumom u reklamama.
1985.nakon svirke u baru,ponudila je prevoz redovnom posjetiocu bara,koji je silovao.
Kasnije ce to iskustvo prenijeti i na pjesmu "Me and a Gun".
Te iste godine,Tori formira grupu pod nazivom- Y Kant Tori Read ,koji se odnosio na njene dane u Peabody konzervaroriju , kada je mogla svirati pjesme ,nakon shto ih je samo jednom chula,ali nikad nije uspjela
chitati note i preko njih svirati.
Pored Tori ,grupu su sachinjavali Steve Canton( koji je kasnije svirao gitaruna njenim albumima),bubnjar Matt Sorum,basistaBradCobb i klavijaturista Jim Tauber.
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s9398.jpg

Nazhalost, njen prvi album "Y Tori Kant Read" nije dobro prihvacen,jer 90-tih na muzickom trzistu dens muzike,grunge-a,rocka,nije prolazila "djevojka i klavir".
Zapocinje solo karijeru.U ranim 90-im,svirala je u malim klubovima i spremala lansiranje svog novog albuma pod naslovom "Little Earthquakes" ( moj favorit)

Ideju za treci solo album "Boys for Pele" ,je bio inspiracija nakon raskida sa Eric Rosse-om kako na ljubavnom ,tako i na profesionalnom planu ,nakon sedmogodishnje veze.
Album je sniman u irskoj crkvi u okrugu Wiklow,tako da je Amos iskoristila prednost crkve ,dopunivshi album baroknim elementima,dajuci mu dublji zvuk i stil.

There's a shark in the pool
And a witch in the tree
A crazy old neighbor and he's been watching me
And there's footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall
Something's under the bed
Now it's out in the hedge
There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge
And I hear something scratching through the wall

Ubrzo nakon shto je pochela sa radom na albumu "The Choirgirl Hotel" ,Tori je pretrpjela podbachaj. U toku snimanja albuma,udala se za dugogodishnjeg momka.Ocekivano ,oba dogadjaja su ostavila traga na
albumu,na kojem su josh intimnije pjesme ,nego na "Little Earthquakes".Tori je uvela novi zvuk ,radeci uzivo sa kompletnom postavom benda,pruzhajuci neposrednost zvuku ,koji se do tada nije chuo.
