"Tori Amos - Precious Things So I ran faster But it caught me here Yes my loyalties turned Like my ankle In the seventh grade Running after Billy Running after the rain These precious things Let them bleed Let them wash away These precious things Let them break their hold over me He said you're really an ugly girl Buy I like the way you play And I died But I thanked him Can you believe that?

"Tori Amos - Crucify Every finger in the room is pointing at me I want to spit in their faces then I get afraid 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?

Listening Log for 2012 (438 music items)

"Three tracks in and I found myself increasingly annoyed by Amos's pseudo feminist ramblings and pedestrain piano-driven melodies, but by the fourth track, when Amos actually uttered the words "just because you can make me cum doesn't mean your Jesus" in all seriousness, I shut it off and turned "From Mars to Sirius" all the way up.

The CD contains some of her least cryptic lyrics, and is therefore a good introduction to her music, although the recordings which followed were always intriguing and well worth owning.” read more
