    Bjork all the way. and she has been around since the 80's. Tori is too goody goody for me and Cher is just too bizarre and trashy now...she didn't used to be. Not sure when it started, maybe after her Allman days?

    Tori and her music mean so much to me-wish I could thank her in person.

    The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) is the nation's largest anti-sexual assault organization. RAINN operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1.800.656.HOPE and carries out programs to prevent sexual assault, help victims and ensure that rapists are brought to justice.

    Founded in 1994 with grants from Atlantic Records and Warner Music Group, RAINN operates a toll-free hotline (1-800-656-HOPE) in affiliation with a network of 628 rape crisis centers across America. Atlantic Records artist Tori Amos chairs RAINN's Advisory Board.

    "Tori was so moved by the fans who had come to her with stories of their own personal struggles with abuse that she wanted to do something that would make a real difference. For these fans, Tori's music had a direct impact. It spoke to them and their pains unlike anything else," said Vicky Germaise, Senior Vice President of Atlantic Records. "What Atlantic is doing is raising awareness about RAINN and doing what it takes to keep the 800 line up and running. Our goal is to help Tori continue this vital work."

    "The Warner Music Group and Time Warner enthusiastically support causes which reflect the strong volunteerism of our artists and employees," added Linda Moran, Senior Vice President of Warner Music Group. "We are proud to mirror and support Tori's personal commitment to RAINN."

    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 think 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

    maybe after her Allman days?

    naah, I think it happened as soon as she opened her mouth to sing...:)

    Seven, I have her singing that song on video. Very good, I do respect her a lot. 1000 oceans and cornflake girl are what got me onto listening to her.

    Björk fan checking in! :D

    I enjoy Tori Amos too, and while I'm not a big fan of Cher's music, I have nothing against her. But I really LOVE Björk!! :D I have 3 of her CD's.

    Oh Bjork! Anyone seen "Dancer in the Dark"? Fabulous film. I love Bjork ALMOST as much as Kate Bush.

    Cher and Tori Amos..? Pah!
