This song is really getting to me today, in a good way.

I like the vocal layering she does on this and many other songs. Reminds me of Joni Mitchell's work.

one me hates this song

Four scumbag bike shop mechanics in our shop hate this song

Four women in my hotel room right now just said they love this song...

 

I like this song better than other Tori Amos songs.  She isn't whining as much.  Sounds pretty good.  Good selection!

Have to agree. Even if it does have its lengths, it flows quite well and has some very fine tracks on it.

Also, on a more superficial note, her last album with a beautifully designed cover. Her botox-meets-photoshop look on recent releases just makes me sad (especially on Midwinter Graces, shudder - look below at your own risk).

Mmm-hmm. That's what Tori excels at — wrapping the evil in a pretty candy shell so you don't notice it immediately.

"just another dead fag to you, that's all / just another light missing"

Man, this song gives me the shivers sometimes. That and blind rage at those attitudes out there and coming face to face with them sometimes.

I generally loathe Tori, but I don't mind this song/CD (and I really like the cover photo).

At the high end of her range she gets a bit fingernails-on-chalkboardish for me.  But man, down low, there. . . .

I wish Madonna could sound like this, too, I might consider liking her?

Lily is dancing
On the table
We've all been
Pushed
Too far
I guess on days
Like this
You know who your
Friends are
Just another dead fag
To you that's all
Just another light missing
On a long taxi ride
Taxi ride

And I'm down to
Your last cigarette and
This "we are one" crap
As you're invading
This thing you call
Love - she smiles
Way too much but
I'm glad you're
On my side, sure
I'm glad you're on
My side still

You think you deserve
A trust fund
Just because you
Want one
Sure you talk the talk
When you need to
I fear
The whole world is
Starting to
Believe you
Just another dead fag
To you that's all
Just another light missing
In a long taxi line
Taxi line

And i"m down to
Your last cigarette and
This "we are one" crap
As you're invading
This thing you call
Love - she smiles
Way too much but
I'm glad you're
On my side, sure
I'm glad you're on
My side still

Lily is dancing
On the
Table
We've all been pushed
Too far today
Even a glamorous
Bitch can be in
Need
This is where you know
The honey
From the
Killer bees
+i'm glad you're on
My side
Sure
I'm glad you're on
My side
Sure
I'm glad you're on
My side still

Got a long taxi ride
Got a long taxi ride

i was just thinking of this song.. :)

Even on this seemingly "pretty" song....Tori Amos still has the ability to grate my nerves.

This is what Madonna wished she could sound like . . .

Vocal layering is something of a cliche these days, but it really works on this song.

A Tori song that makes you happy. Not easy to find

Always love to hear Tori

I'm not generally a fan of her music, but this is really nice....

This is one of my favourites from her.

This song actually doesn't piss me off. 

AWESOME and THANK YOU for playing this.  "The whole world is starting to believe you..."  Keep up the good work RP!!!!

Others might have other personal favorites, but I agree this album is simply terrific from start to finish. And what I like best is that all the songs are stunningly pretty, just like this song. None of her more challenging odd sounding songs on this record— and I do like some of her more weird songs, some not, but this record is just sparkling with harmonies, melodic beauty, and richly textured and catchy. It's the one that sold me on Tori. I should also add that I haven't fully grasped all the lyrics, which tackle a lot of female identity and women's struggles as well as feminist themes that Tori is obsessed with, but the songs are all part of a cycle in a whole concept album on this record.

While I don't agree that it's her best album (my personal fave is "Little Earthquakes"), I do think that this album was her best since "Under the Pink". Her other releases during that time were a little too spotty for me, and her lyrics were too obscure on some of the songs. There are exceptions to this, of course ("Hey Jupiter", for instance), but overall I preferred this album because it was more consistent all the way through.
