TORI AMOS live JACKIE'S STRENGTH

A bouvier till her wedding day
Shots rang out
The police came
Mama layed me on the front lawn
And prayed for Jackie's strength
Feeling old by 21
Never thought my day would come
My bridesmaids getting laid
I pray for Jackie's strength

Make me laugh
Say you know what you want
You said we were the real thing
So I show you some more and I learn
What black magic can do
Make me laugh
Say you know you can trun
Me into the real thing
So I show you some more
And I learn

Stickers licked on lunch boxes
Worshipping David Cassidy
Yeah I mooned him once
On Donna's box
She's still in recovery
Sleep-overs Beene's got some pot
You're only popular with anorexia
So I turn myself inside out
In hope someone will see

Make me laugh
Say you know what you want
You said we were the real thing
So I show you some more and I learn
What black magic can do
Make me laugh
Say you know you can trun
Me into the real thing
So I show you some more
And I learn

I got lost on my wedding day
Typical the police came
But virgins always get backstage
No matter what they've got to say
If you love enough you'll lie a lot
Guess they did in camelot
Mama's waiting on my front lawn
I pray
I pray
I pray
For Jackie's strength

Make me laugh
Say you know what you want
You said we were the real thing
So I show you some more and I learn
Jarkie's strength

What a talent. How many performers sound that good live?

Tori is my alltime favorite. And this song is one of her prettiest. While other songwriters are churning out the same old shallow, predictable laments and love songs and hurt songs.....tori is writing songs with more feeling and meaning than you would get from any emotional philosopher.

It is sheer beauty in thought, and all songs are a rainbow of potential levels of understanding for those who really listen

@nmothin When 'To Venus and Back' was released she took a huge nose-dive for me. She never really recovered but 'Scarlet' was a kinda return to form I guess. I will always buy her stuff but I doubt she will ever capture that magic of those first few albums.

This can reduce me to tears by the first chorus. Truly sublime, I loved her around this time.

@Iwtchutube > Jackie Kennedy Onassis maintained an astounding strength throughout her entire life. She lived such a public life, and faced scrutiny. She upheld herself as a lady and contributed her life to others. She survived an eye-witness account of one of the worst tragedies in American history. I believe Tori is calling upon a strength(such as Jackie's) b/c she doesn't want to lose herself through life(her pain, her struggles, her success, her impact on others).

@andijschmitt An amazing amount of performers sound that good live. You're just not supposed to know that these days.
