Tori Amos - Father Lucifer (Original)

Amazing piano intro, makes me to fly , Tori Amos i looove you¡ LYRICS:Hi, hi... hmm...
Father Lucifer you never looked so sane.
You always did prefer the drizzle to the rain.
Tell me that you're still in love with that Milkmaid.
How the Lizzies, how's your Jesus Christ been hanging, ha.

Nothing's gonna stop me from floating.
Nothing's gonna stop me from floating.


Heh. He says he reckons I'm a watercolor stain.
He says I run and then I run from him and then I run.
He didn't see me watching from the aeroplane.
He wiped a tear and then he threw away our appleseed.


Nothing's gonna stop me from floating.
Nothing's gonna stop me from floating.


TORI
Hey... yes...
Every day's my wedding day.
Though baby's still in his comatose state.
Die my own Easter eggs.
Just don't go yet, just don't go.
And Beenie lost the sunset but that's okay.
Does Joe bring flowers to Marilyn's grave?
And girls that eat pizza and never gain weight,
Never gain weight, never gain weight...


SECOND TORI
Go away where only glass Georgy Girl-
Your favorite skiddly-dee, and I'm G., yes,
Never go, go so fast...
Go wait, girl, on bead glass,
Georgy- she was your favorite,
There she goes... there she goes...
There she even goes home...


BACKGROUND TORIS
Maybe she's hiding in her hideout.
Get a peek hiding her truffles.
Wearing those purple garters.
And girl I've got a condo in Hoboken.


Hi, mmm, mmm, yes... hum... mmm... hmm...
Father Lucifer you never looked so sane.
You always did prefer the drizzle to the rain.
Tell me that you're still in love with that Milkmaid.
How the Lizzies, how's your Jesus Christ been hanging. Hum, mmm...
Tori Amos (born Myra Ellen Amos; August 22, 1963) is an American pianist, singer-songwriter and composer. She was at the forefront of a number of female singer-songwriters in the early 1990s and was noteworthy early in her career as one of the few alternative rock performers to use a piano as her primary instrument. Some of her charting singles include "Crucify", "Silent All These Years", "God", "Cornflake Girl", "Caught a Lite Sneeze", "Professional Widow", "Spark", "1000 Oceans", and "A Sorta Fairytale", her most commercially successful single in the U.S. to date.
As of 2005, Amos had sold 12 million albums worldwide. She has been nominated for 8 Grammy Awards. Amos was also named one of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in 1996.
Pandora's Project was partly inspired by Tori Amos, a sexual violence survivor and the founder of RAINN, a US nationwide hotline for rape and abuse survivors (1-800-656-HOPE). When I was 19 years old and starting to come to grips with my own rape, it was the music of Tori Amos that brought me comfort. If I felt painfully alone, I would listen to her Little Earthquakes album on repeat; there was nothing more comforting than feeling like someone understood. I started Pandora's at this time, as a way to reach out to others.
Tori said in an interview several years ago that often healing is "about realizing, painfully, you've kept that voice inside yourself, locked away from even yourself. And you step back and see that your jailer has changed faces. You realize you've become your own jailer." That hit me hard, and I knew that while I was once a victim with no control over someone's choice to rape me, I was now the one in the driver's seat. I was a victim of rape, but I would only continue to be a victim of what happened if I allowed it. So I stopped letting it control me,It was in Los Angeles that Tori's nightmare would happen. After playing a gig, she was approached by a male fan who needed a ride home. What would transpire over the next few hours is both deep tragedy, and music history. I will use a quote from Tori herself lay out the horror of that night for you. "I'll never talk about it at this level again but let me ask you. Why have I survived that kind of night, when other women didn't? How am I alive to tell you this tale when he was ready to slice me up? In the song I say it was Me and a Gun but it wasn't a gun. It was a knife he had. And the idea was to take me to his friends and cut me up, and he kept telling me that, for hours. And if he hadn't needed more drugs I would have been just one more news report, where you see the parents grieving for their daughter. And I was singing hymns, as I say in the song, because he told me to. I sang to stay alive. Yet I survived that torture, which left me urinating all over myself and left me paralyzed for years. That's what that night was all about, mutilation, more than violation through sex." Tori would bury this trauma deep inside herself for many years

Wanna hear something funny? I first heard this song on some christian anti Rock "documentary". Been hooked on Tori Amos ever since XD

Even mindless propoganda cannot taint her work :)

"Now, when I say Lucifer, I’m talking about the feelings that we hide from ourselves." "And I am not talking about Satanism......that’s the distortion of those who can’t really claim the dark so they become evil because they are not really claiming their shadow." .yessaid.com/talk/3fatherlucif­er.html Lucifer here is the Jungian shadow.

[altjff15]

Anybody who thinks the use of Lucifer here is some type of metaphorical non-sense is just plain stupid. This is a love song to Satan.
