Tori Amos (born Myra Ellen Amos) was one of several female singer/songwriters who combined the stark lyrical attack of alternative rock with a distinctly '70s musical approach. Her music falls between the orchestrated meditations of Kate Bush and the stripped-down poetics of Joni Mitchell. In addition to reviving the singer/songwriter traditions of the '70s, Amos revived the piano as a rock & roll instrument. With her 1992 album, Little Earthquakes, Amos built a dedicated following that continued to expand with her second album, Under the Pink. Born in North Carolina but raised in Maryland, Amos was the daughter of a Methodist preacher. By the age of four, she was singing and playing piano in the church choir; she began writing her own songs shortly afterward. Amos won a scholarship to Baltimore's Peabody Conservatory based on her instrumental prowess. While she was studying at Peabody, she became infatuated with rock & roll, particularly the music of Led Zeppelin. She began writing pop ballads and performing in local bars. Amos moved to Los Angeles in her late teens to become a pop singer. Atlantic Records signed her in 1987, recording an uninspired pop-metal album called Y Kant Tori Read the following year. The record was a complete failure, attracting no attention from radio or press and selling very few copies; nevertheless, she didn't lose her record contract. By 1990, Amos had adopted a new approach, singing spare, haunting, semiconfessional piano ballads that were arranged like Kate Bush but had the melodies and lyrical approach of Joni Mitchell. Atlantic sponsored a trip to England in 1991, where she played a series of concerts in support of an EP, Me and a Gun. The harrowing "Me and a Gun" was an autobiographical song, telling the tale of Amos' own experience with rape. It gained positive reviews throughout the media, and both the EP and the concerts sold well. Little Earthquakes, Amos' first album as a singer/songwriter, was released in late 1991 and sold well in both the U.S. and the U.K. In 1992, she released the Crucify EP, which featured three covers, including Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Led Zeppelin's "Thank You." Delivered in early 1994, Under the Pink, the full-length follow-up to Little Earthquakes, was a bigger hit, selling over a million copies and launching the minor hit singles "God" and "Cornflake Girl." Two years later, Amos delivered her third album, Boys for Pele, her most ambitious and difficult record to date. The album debuted at number two and quickly went platinum. Amos spent much of 1997 dealing with personal matters, including a miscarriage and a marriage, and working on her fourth album, From the Choirgirl Hotel, which was released in the spring of 1998. The two-disc To Venus and Back followed in 1999 to coincide with a tour with Alanis Morissette. In 2001, Amos returned with the covers album Strange Little Girls, which also marked her last release for Atlantic. The next year, she found a new label home with Epic and followed with Scarlet's Walk in October. Her eighth studio album, an autobiographical record titled The Beekeeper, was released in 2005.

A matter of complication When you become a twist For their latest drink As they're transitioning Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist This little pill in my hand that keeps the pain laughin' Can somebody tell me now a way out of this - That sacred pipe of red stone could blow me out of this kiss Am I alone in this... Shame shame time to leave me now Shame shame you've had your fun Shame shame for letting me think that I would be the one Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist This little pill in my hand or this secret kiss Am I alone in this kiss Am I alone in this kiss

The captain grimaced, "Those are cliffs of rock ahead If I'm not mistaken."

Witness
Thought I had a witness to this crime Thought I had a witness Thought we were on the same side of becoming Then the judges called in a witness C'mon... So then when did you then begin your cravin for white powder Exotic matter that cells divide arresting time So in your furnace then You drank my tenderness Feldspar and Mica then You thought that you would own my temple of gold Gotta rise in the night Pick myself off the floor I know now that it's over Had a life before You left me burnin' in Your petrol emotion Your petrol emotion Wanting more Thought I had a witness C'mon... Thought we had a friendship C'mon... Thought I heard you whispering murder Thought this witches brew was more than bullet-proof But words are like guns when you shoot the moon 'Cause everybody whispers C'mon... Is there anyone? Is it any wonder...I'm out the door Is there any way? Is there any way forward? Thought I had a witness Thought you were you Thought I was a witness You could turn to, not in Thought I had a witness to this crime Thought I had a witness C'mon...

Ireland
Drivin' in my Saab On my way to Ireland It's been a long time It's been a long time Drivin' with my friends On my way to Ireland It's been a long time It's been a long time So when I was out In the desert And a cowboy Tried to lasso me He said your red And made of clay A virgin portrait I let him wake me But decided not to stay Next in New York I fell out with a dragon Of the white collar kind But just as ferocious I remembered Macha Running faster than the horses Then an encounter with A voice that caressed me Wasn't it you who Held off a surrender To one spoiled nun Who taught you the names Of the mountains On the moon And then a Jesuit Proceded to arrange your soul While I prayed On my knees

Martha's Foolish Ginger
Take a walk down memory lane with me Past a watermelon stand on the way Thinking I had everything we'd need On Martha's Foolish Ginger You were late How could I forget what you said- The part about that "Love taking over your life" Was not your plan If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland Who knows what I would have done If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland Who knows what I would have done Through the cliffs out of the Bay I went From the starboard side I could black my visions and my passions- They keep me awake If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland Who knows what I would have done If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland Who knows what I would have done A familiar voice "Hi. Surprise. I've been searching trying to find you" I couldn't speak My hands reached for Martha's Foolish Ginger We talked until the moon came up About how life without love isn't worth very much Then I played this song If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland who knows what I would have done If those harbour lights had just been a half a mile inland Who knows what I would have done What I would have done What I would have done "Memories that we have yet" you said "To make like our Burning Bed..." Love, don't mistake that it wasn't safe On Martha's Foolish Ginger.

Night of Hunters
Shattering Sea That is not my blood on the bedroom floor That is not the glass that I threw before He gets his power from tide and wave The grains of sand are my domain His tempest surged and angry flesh And through my arms formed a sea of glass Shattering sea Closing my eyes Shattering sea Closing my eyes Shattering sea Closing my eyes Every line Every curve Every twist Every turn Of every brutal word Every turn (every line) Every line (every curve) Every twist (every turn) Every curve Of every brutal word That is not my blood on the bedroom floor That is not the glass that I threw before Snowblind Some get snowblind with the daylight But then with the night for once see clearly Through fox's eyes, I've been watching you How do you free your mind so that you're not confined By our concept of what we call Time Follow me, Call me Anabelle Some get snowblind with the daylight But then with the Night for once see clearly I will follow you, Anabelle Just imagine Him up there upon that hill Over 3,000 years from now til then A key fragment of you and him And one I must now bring back I'm wondering... Were you giants or friends Even the Morrigan Lovers or Enemies One or all of these Battle Of Trees Our language of love The Battle of Trees We fought side by side No one had more Sharper consonants than you, love And my vowels, well, were trusted First comes the Birch Rowan followed by the Ash Then through the Alder she forms And merges with Willow The Hawthorne blossoms As the Oak guards the door She is the hinge on which the year swings He courts the lightning flash and her Summoning the spirits Through incantations You said the Thunder God seems to have And our enemies are the Reed But we knew the Furies held the Holly sacred We were insulated In a circle of words we'd drawn With wisdom sent from nine Hazels A Rowan fire and a Willow rod At ten comes the vine That generates bramble wine The constant change of the night sun A song in the blood of the white bull Our language of love The Battle of Trees We fought side by side No one had more Sharper consonants than you, love And my vowels, well, were trusted From Ivy leaves is an ale that can unveil The hidden meanings and serpents Only revealed through visions Yes vowels could insert "A" was for the Silver Fir The Firs of course Then came next With Heather at her most Passionate The White Poplar's gift to the souls of the dead A promise that it was not the end But for the vine the "U", it's coffer Vowels and consonants The power of trees The power they hold The power of prose So when the church Began to twist the old myths They built their own Tower of Babel From Ulster to Munster The Reed gave way then To the Elder The Earth turns her will So that night follows day From dawn to dawn From Winter to Winter At day the Ash had power over the Alder Our language of love The Battle of Trees We fought side by side Then he said to me "I've dodged bullets and even poisoned arrows Only to be foiled by the blade of a vowel" Fearlessness Fearlessness blew in with the wind Waking up to greet the sun We sailed on like the ancient ones Into the night underworld We knew dangers would come I had faith in both of us Listen to your heart (You can hear me) Listen to your heart (You can hear me) Day turned night when he questioned Why can't you balance the sky Soulless storms have sent watchers With bladeless weapons to fight Teams of horses of the brine Followed his cries through the fire Demons of the wild hissed with the wind Did you listen Listen to your heart (Can you hear me) Listen to your heart (Can you hear me) Fearlessness soon reminded me You must be stronger then they Cautioning there those who live To be cruel for the fun of it He let in a dark companion That orbited between us His siren friends convinced him that love Was no match against storms to come Their songs inflamed by doubt Fearlessness drowned them out Teams of horses of the brine Followed his cries through the fire Demons of the wild hissed with the wind Did you listen Listen to your heart Can you hear me Listen to your heart Can you hear me Did we begin without knowing it To find fault in every gift Then that was when the blame began What were once two forces joined In fearlessness Cactus Practice Tori: Maybe

possessed To drink of the spices From the east by his liquid mistress Which then pushed me into the lair Of uranium, she divides time between Greed and his twin, tyranny Day after day Cities all betrayed And the earth, his songs lay their blade She is boundless But by then she has been frayed As the night gives way To nautical dawn I can see I must activate the force of which I'm made Your
