You make pretty daisies...

    The first time I heard this song by Tori Amos (1994) I felt uncomfortable listening to it. Now I have a whole new perspective on it, and life.

    *~* God *~*

    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

    You make pretty daisies pretty daisies love
    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

    give not thy strength unto women
    nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings

    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

    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

    Kristen,
    Tori Amos
    That song made me feel weird when I listened for the first time too. But I have heard it about 100 times since then and can really hear what she is saying when she sings. Thanks for bringing this up

    Wendy,
    Wow, you're quick! Took me a few edits to get that post right. :)

    I just got the "Under the Pink" CD in the mail yesterday. It took me what, seven years to finally have some insight into that song. The thoughts are very timely for my life right now.

    Are you a Tori Amos fan? I'm just now getting into her stuff. Still trying to figure out what a "Cornflake Girl" is. :)
