![]() Haunted (2000) [ larger cover art ] |
I'm so glad that you decided to come
Go ahead make yourself comfortable darlin'
I've got a proposition for you
There's a room available inside of my heart
And I hope it will be taken by you
You can bring whatever you wanna bring baby
Each and everyone of your friends
And if you want a dog or a big bullfrog
Hell I've even got room for them
I'm so glad you decided to come
Another day and I could've gone mad
Another day and it might've gotten bad
Another day and I might have betrayed
Every scruple I have
You cause in me an impossible craving
That cannot be denied
If I decided to make you my religion
I think God would be kind
So I made a wish on a million of her stars
And registered your name on a few
That way if you forget who you are
You can look up and see a picture of you
I'm so glad you decided to come
Another day and I could've gone mad
Another day and it might've gotten bad
Another day and I might have betrayed
Every scruple I have
I have to keep a hold of myself
Is that really you or is it someone else
I swear it looks just like him
I wonder can he see what a state I'm in
Like a broken bridge
I gotta swing on him like a jungle gym
Father: I've been inside her house
I've experienced her madness
And I rejected the entire experience
Another day and I could've gone mad
Another day and it might've gotten bad
Another day and I might have betrayed
Every scruple I have
Another day and I could've gone mad
Another day and it might've gotten bad
Another day and I might have betrayed
Every scruple

| Rooney (Near Paradise) | Posted: Sep 22, 2010 - 09:11 A voice reminiscent of Chryssie Hynde. Great stuff. What an original style, nevertheless. |

It's a rare album that holds together as a whole to the point that it gains from being played consecutively, but this one does. So fie on all you naysayers.

| Rachoh (Boston) | Posted: Feb 11, 2010 - 13:44 I used to listen to this whole album non-stop in early 2001. Such a great concept album — I wish she did more solo work. |
| derekd (Just Visiting This Planet) | Posted: Feb 11, 2010 - 13:43 Better POE tracks to be heard. But luv hearing her here nonetheless. Thanks Bill! |
| nagsheadlocal (North Carolina, the new New Jersey) | Posted: Jun 04, 2009 - 08:13 Besides her compelling voice, she's assembled one kick-ass band. Love this CD. |

I believe this is due to disputes with her record company, though those could have been cleared up by now, I'm not sure. I know that it's always a pleasure to hear her, whether it's on one of her own songs, or with another group (Delirium, Conjure One, etc.). |

The Ms speaks the truth, per usual, on both counts. |
| OmegaConcern (Sunrise, FL) | Posted: Mar 19, 2008 - 09:40 If anyone's got info on her, please pass it on. Last I heard, she'd set up her Myspace page and started posting updates. The last one was over a year ago, but she was tracking new stuff. I've emailed her/her Myspace folks and got no reply. |

I think she has the same concern, as she hasn't released another CD of her own after this one. |

Not one of Poe's best moments. Hah! I asked a bunch of my friends if this song didn't sound like Shania Twain when it came out and all I got was a bunch of blank stares :) Glad to see that, if I'm crazy, I've at least got a bit of company. And I second those who suggest that, once you spend some time with this album as a thematic whole (assuming you do that sort of thing) you'll actually dig it. That being said, this was never one of my favorite songs on the album (those would tend towards Walk the Walk and Not a Virgin). I actually think what I like about the album has less to do with the songs than the atmosphere she succeeds in creating. |

| Shesdifferent (Just visiting this planet) | Posted: Jul 11, 2007 - 22:15 Everytime I hear her I really like her. |
| smackiepipe (Western North Carolina) | Posted: May 10, 2007 - 04:08 The whole album is great, one of the best I've heard in years, and needs to be listened through from start to finish. But it's cool to have one of the tunes pop up here. |

Did you really listen to it, or were you doing something else? I loved the sound, got the disc, then read the liner notes. Now I like it more. Admittedly, I don't think that this is one of the better tracks on the disc. |
| RichardPrins (Limbo) | Posted: Mar 28, 2005 - 06:47 Poo(p) |
| gshrieves | Posted: Mar 28, 2005 - 06:45 Poe rules. Poe is a person, not a group. This album is one of the best albums of the past 20 years - I'd put it in the top 10. If you don't care for her voice, that's one thing, but the music on this disc is simply incredible, original, and only Poe could have made this record. |
