Tori Amos - Agent Orange - lyrics

Gotta tell you what I heard from agent orange
Mr. suntan
Mr. happy man
Mr. I know the girls on all the world tours
Mr. agent, yes
Hes my favourite
And they dont understand
Hes got palm oil for hands
Yes hes down there and everywhere
Hes getting in too deep in this
Underwater city where she swims and swims

Tori Amos - 1000 Oceans - lyrics

These tears Ive cried
Ive cried 1000 oceans
And if it seems Im floating
In the darkness
Well I cant believe that I would kep
Keep you from flying
And I would cry 1000 more if thats
What it takes to sail you home
Sail you home sail you home
Im 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 wil follow you
And if I find you will you still remember
Playing at trains
Or does this little blue ball
Just fade away
Over silbury hill through the solar field
You know that I will follow you
Im aware what the rules are
But you know that I will run
You know that I will follow you
These tears Ive cried
Ive cried 1000 oceans
And if Im floating
In the darkness
Well I cant believe that I would kep
Keep you from flying
And I will cry 1000 more if thats
What it takes to sail you home
Sail you home sail you home

Tori Amos - 16 Shades Of Blue - lyrics

Are you telling me it's over disintegrating lost and there's nothing I can do
Before you drop another verbal bomb, can I arm myself
With Cezanne's 16 shades of blue
As my heart is slowly ripping into pieces
Disconnecting from the circuits of my mind
"You'll get over it" you say "in time"
In time?
If the clocks are black absorbing everything but
A remembering how we made it that
Clocks are black
You say "get over it if 50 is the new black, hooray this could be your lucky day"
But my cables they are surging almost over loading as you disengage
Could your heart be slowly ripping into pieces
Disconnecting from the circuits of your mind
"We'll get over it" you say "in time"
In time?
If the clocks are black absorbing everything but
A remembering how we made it that
Clocks are black
"That's it you're done.
You've screwed up your life"
Before you've begun
There are those who say
I am now too old to play
See over there at 33 she fears she'll lose her job
Because they hear the ticking of her clock
At only 15 I said 15, they say her future's bleak
She should have started this at 3
As her heart is slowly ripping into pieces
Disconnecting from the circuits of her mind
"She'll get over it" you say "in time"
In time? stop Father Time
If the clocks are black absorbing everything but
A remembering how we made it that
How our clocks are black
Before you drop another verbal bomb
Can I arm myself
With Cezanne's 16 shades of blue

Tori Amos - A Case Of You - lyrics

Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant as the northern star
And I said, constantly in the darkness
Wheres that at?
If you want me Ill be in the bar
On the back of a cotton coaster
In the blue t.v. screen light
I drew a map of canada
Oh canada
With your face sketched on it twice
In my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Well, I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
Im frightened by the devil
And Im drawn to those ones that aint afraid
I remember that time you told me
Love is touching souls
Surely you touched mine
cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
My blood
My holy wine
Tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, go to him, stay with him
But be prepared to bleed
My blood
My holy wine
Tastes so bitter and so sweet
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

Tori Amos - Ain't No Sunshine - lyrics

ain't no sunshine when he's gone
it's not warm when he's away
ain't no sunshine when he's gone
and he's always gone too long
anytime he goes away
wonder this time where he's gone
wonder if he's gone to stay
ain't no sunshine when he's gone
and he's always gone too long
anytime he goes away
and i know, i know, i know, i know
i know, i know, i know, i know
i know, i know, i know
i know, i oughta leave this all alone, hey
ain't no sunshine when he's gone
hey....lalalalala...
oh and i remember
hey, and and and i remember
that tune, so, yea yea yea yea
i oughta leave it all alone
hey, i know, i oughta leave this alone
wonder this time where he's gone
wonder if he's gone to stay
ain't no sunshine when he's gone
and he's always gone too long
anytime he....yea
he goes away...

Tori Amos - Abbey Road - lyrics

Running down abbey road
Dont stop the ocean
I need to feel a tidal wave
So close
So close to a family way
To a family way
Dont stop bringing her around
See how tough I can be
When youre making me smile sweetly
Dont keep bringing her around
I need to see
See the changing of the leaves
Of the guard
Of your guitar
As its leaving
Running down abbey road
No shoes
Its colder than bermuda
Colder than my days in the sugar cane
And johnny man, be as quick as you can
I said johnny man, we know you like haley mills
Like those boys are singing still
Catch me if you can
Oh, catch me if you can
Be my sugar cane
My
Running down abbey road
I know I thought wed almost be
In the family way
I guess not today
I guess not today

Tori Amos - Alamo - lyrics

Alamo
heard all about your fandango
begged on my knees on your back door
only to wake you to blues on the way
blues on the way
blues on the way
embarcadero, figures you'll see me as older
twenty-three hours til the border
Don't think I'll be going as fast as I came.
fast as I came
fast as I came
the tears on my pillow, of course they're not mine
alter that altar
make it a play
somebody invent the telephone line
I'll take my chances
Alamo
wish I could do what God does
heard that the stars were in order
got yourself dealt a hand
with two queen of spades
and blues on the way
blues on the way
tears on my pillow
of course they're not mine
alter that altar
make it a play
somebody just
somebody invent the telephone line
I'll take my chances

Tori Amos - 'til The Chicken - lyrics

So some say she got green enough field
And some say she got too many strings
With petticoats out and goin hall gown
The sweetest nylon no not where shes gone
Gonna raise his tail and wrangle his wings
Some say she got plenty of stark
Some say she got some divas and kramer
Why all this spare then shaking her tail
The sweetest nylon no not where shes gone
Gonna raise his tail and wrangle his wings
Until the little chicken come home

Tori Amos - A Happy Day - lyrics

Its a happy day
For the water bugs have melt away
Not a bird is sitting in its tree
Not a he, she, it or me
Its a happy day
Letter gate has sprung away
Taking all the floods to sea
Leaving uncle sam and he
He was an air force man
Flyin in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothing really left to lose
Yes, he was an air force man
Flyin in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothing really left to lose
Its a happy day
For the world has come to stay
Not a creature sleeps today
The world will not go away
Its a happy day
Let us dream and sleep tonight
Of the world in its plight
cause I need top top find
Yes, he was an air force man
Flyin in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothin really left to lose
She was his only girl
She called him pop crackle
He was her only pearl
Flying out of tanger sound
Its a happy day
We are here to gather to stay
Not a person will keep us away
Our life is the greatest today
Its a happy day
This could go on all night
Let us bed by bright moonlight,
And have a good, good, good night

Tori Amos - After All - lyrics

please trip them gently, they don't like to fall, oh by jingo
there's no room for anger, we're all very small, oh by jingo
we're painting our faces and dressing in thoughts from the skies, from paradise
but they think that we're holding a secretive ball
won't someone invite them, they're just taller children
that's all, after all
man is an obstacle, sad as the clown, oh by jingo
so hold on to nothing, and he won't let you down, oh by jingo
some people are marching together and some on their own
quite alone
others are running, the smaller ones crawl
but some sit in silence, they're just older children
that's all, after all
i sing with impertinence, shading impermanent chords,
with my words
i've borrowed your time and i'm sorry i called
but the thought just occurred that we're nobody's children at all, after all
live your rebirth and do what you will, oh by jingo
forget all i've said, please bear me no ill, oh by jingo
after all, after all
