Tori Amos Lyrics

Smells Like Teen Spirit lyrics - Tori Amos

(originally by Nirvana)

Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello

I'm worse at what, what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will be until the end

Hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello

With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

Hello, hello

With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
Yes

A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, yes
A denial

Darkest Hour lyrics - Tori Amos

[from "The Light Princess" soundtrack]

I feel light, even in my darkest hour,
The weight of this truth, it calms me.
To be light, grounded by a heavy heart,
And by the deeds they have done.

Then let the night show me the way,
Will darkness complete me?
Even invite shadow to stay,
As I gift the Lake each silent ache
That burns endlessly.

Lovely Lake, well-spring of all living things,
This paradise on earth, she calms me.
Water of life, give me my eternal sleep;
Oasis of blue, my grave.

So let the night show me the way,
Let darkness complete me;
I now invite shadow to stay
As I gift the stars my silent scars
That burn endlessly.

I feel light, even in my darkest hour.
I feel light.

Flicker lyrics - Tori Amos

[from "Audrie & Daisy" soundtrack]

Flicker, yes flicker
There it is, a little less faint
A little more of your flame
Feel it warm your skin
Part of you trapped within

Shed a little light on this
Help me see
Shed a little light on this
Underneath the scarring from his defiling
Underneath the pain

Heroines
They are not born, they are made
A phoenix forms, her ashes rise
Expose their hell
Break Satan's spell
Fire purifies
It's redemption time

Flicker, yes, flicker
When neighbours and friends
Only give you their burning silence
Even with torches raised
Part of you can't feel safe

Shed a little light on this
Help me see
Shed a little light on this, please
Shed a little light on this
And on those who excuse this act of violence
Choosing you to play

Heroines
They are not born, they are made
A phoenix forms, her ashes rise
Expose their hell
Break Satan's spell
Fire purifies
It's redemption time

Shed a little light on this
Shed a little light on this

It's A Happy Day lyrics - Tori Amos

It's a happy day
For the water bugs have melt away
Not a bird is sitting in it's tree
Not a he, she, it or me
It's 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

It's a happy day
For the world has come to stay
Not a creature sleeps today
The world will not go away

It's a happy day
Let us dream and sleep tonight
Of the world in it's 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

It's a happy day
We are here to gather to stay
Not a person will keep us away
Our life is the greatest today

It's a happy day
This could go on all night
Let us bed by bright moonlight,
And have a good, good, good night

What Child, Nowell lyrics - tori amos

What child is this who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?

This is winter's gift
This is what begins

Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Every voice was singing
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born this day a new Nowell
Nowell, Nowell

What child is this who, now awakes
In every heart, each morning
From dazzling light, through silver sky
Bring peace now from creation

This is winter's gift
This is what begins

Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Every voice was singing
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born this day a new
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Every voice was singing
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born this day a new
Born this day a new Nowell
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell.

A Silent Night With You lyrics - tori amos

The radio plays my holiday faves
It takes me back to when our love was new
Young lovers pass me by with their glow
That used to be us not so long ago
You said then
"I just want to spend a silent night with you"
With you
A silent night with you

Joy to the world, your arms kept me warm
Night after night, in such a cold world
Hear the bell strike, old pictures instead
Tell me the past is filling my head
You said then
"I just want to spend a silent night with you"
With you
A silent night with you

The radio plays my holiday faves
It takes me back to when our love was new
Lost in my daze, you slip past and say
"Girl, take my hand, see, nothing has changed
Now or then
I just want to spend a silent night with you"
With you
A silent night with you

All is calm
All is bright.

Candle: Coventry Carol lyrics - tori amos

Candle Candle
Are the children safe now?
Unlike they were long ago,
Candle Candle
are the children safe now?
Sing their song of long ago

Candle Candle
are the children safe now?
Unlike we were long ago,
Candle Candle
Guide us and protect us
from those in Darkness
from those in Darkness

Lully, Lulla
Thou little tiny child
By, by, lully lullay
Thou little tiny child
By, By, Lully Lullay

Oh sisters too how may we do
for to preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom
We do sing
By, By, lully lullay

Holly, Ivy And Rose lyrics - tori amos

Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming
By ancient sibyls sung

A rose doth bear a flower
All in the cold midwinter
And at the midnight hour

And he waits for who to find
The heart she left behind
And he prays she'll find her way
To be his bride someday

Ivy
Of all the trees in the wood
Holly wants/woos the Rose
Holly and the Ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees in the wood
Holly bears the crown
Holly and the Ivy
The running of the deer
For his Rose to bloom
Holly waits every year

He waits for who to find
The heart she left behind
He prays she'll find her way
To be his bride someday

Ivy
Of all the trees in the wood
Holly wants/woos the Rose
Holly and the Ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees in the wood
Holly bears the crown
The holly and the Ivy
The running of the deer
For his Rose to bloom
Holly waits every year
For his Rose to bloom
Holly waits every year
Waits every year

Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
The frozen air perfuming
That tiny bloom doth swell
Its rays the night illuming
The darkness quite dispel

O flower beyond compare
Bloom in our heart's midwinter
Restore the springtime here.

Harps Of Gold lyrics - tori amos

[Traditional]

I'll show you how it's done
You'll smile through the pain
Sweetly singing
Over the plain

Gloria
Gloria
In excelsis deo

They'll show us how it's done
Out in the street
No, they don't have much
Oh, but listen to them sing

Gloria
Gloria
In excelsis deo
Gloria

Gloria
Playing on their harps of gold

And the mountains in reply
Echo, echo, echo
And the mountains in reply
Echo, echo, echo

Gloria
Gloria
In excelsis deo
Gloria
Gloria
Playing on their harps of
Playing on their harps of gold

Over the plain.

Pink And Glitter lyrics - tori amos

Dawn Roses, that is what you call
All the girls in the world
Even the thorns
You're surrounded by an army of two
Who adore you.

Our joy isn't about a present
Or a grown-up .....?
Little boys are getting an honourable mention from me
But this year I'm thinking

Shower the world
Shower the world
Shower the world with pink if you please
Shower the world
Shower the world

Black satin is what I wore
That, and our hearts left on the floor
How was I in that marshmallow snow
To know my life would change that night

Our joy isn't about a present
Or a grown-up .... ?
Little boys are getting an honourable mention from me
But this year I'm thinking

Shower the world
Shower the world
Shower the world with pink if you please
Shower the world
Shower the world
Shower the world in pink

We will paint the town
Champagne never looked so divine
On his lips the sweetest words:
'Love, you've given me quite a ride'.

Snow Angel lyrics - tori amos

When the bell brought in Midwinter
I waited for a sign
A shadow, of a wing
This has always been

The children know this,
That she will come to them
To them
To them

Snow Angel, Snow Angel, Snow Angel
She'll make her way
And she'll stay
For a Time, For a time

In the dark of this Midwinter,
The moon slipped from night
A shadow, of a wing
This has always been

The Children know this...

And she'll stay, for a time
And it's time

Jeannette, Isabella lyrics - tori amos

Bring your torches
Bring your torches

With every candle raised
With every lantern (fly?)
Light after light in every village
Welcoming home every friend

Bring your torches
Bring your torches
Bring your torches, Jeanette, Isabella
Bring your torch to the cradle, run
Bring your torches, Jeanette, Isabella
Bring your torch to the cradle, run
Christ is born, O come behold Him,
Mary calls us to adore Him
Hush, hush! Such a lovely mother
Hush, hush! Such a lovely son

Bring your torches
Bring your torches

Wish every light will find its way
This is what every mother prays
Night after night
The lights, they will guide you
Welcoming home every friend

Bring your torches
Bring your torches
Bring your torches, Jeanette, Isabella
Bring your torch to the cradle, run
Through the door we softly (pile in?)
To his manger bed we creep
Torches glow, the Babe discloses
Fairest snow with cheeks like roses
Hush, hush! Hush-a-by sweetly smiling
Hush, hush! Hush-a-by fast asleep

Bring your torches, Jeanette, Isabella
