TORI AMOS live ME AND A GUN

5am
Friday morning
Thursday night
Far from sleep
I'm still up and driving
Can't go home
obviously
So I'll just change direction
Cause they'll soon konw where I live
And I wanna live

Got a full tank and some chips
It was me and a gun
And a man on my back
And I sang "holy holy" as he buttoned down his pants
You can laugh
It's kind of funny things you think
at times like these
Like I haven't seen Barbados
So I must get out of this

Yes I wore a slinky red thing
Does that mean I should spread
For you, your friends your father, Mr. Ed

Me and a gun
and a man
On my back
But I haven't seen Barbados
So I must get out of this
Yes I wore a slinky red thing
Does that mean I should spread
For you, your friends your father, Mr. Ed
And I know what this means
Me and Jesus a few years back
Used to hang and he said
"It's your choice babe just remember
I don't think you'll be back in 3 days time
So you choose well"
Tell me what's right
Is it my right to be on my stomach
of Fred's Seville

Me and a gun
and a man
On my back
But I haven't seen Barbados
So I must get out of this

And do you know Carolina
Where the biscuits are soft and sweet
These things go through you head
When there's a man on your back
And you're pushed flat on your stomach
It's not a classic cadillac

Me and a gun
and a man
On my back
But I haven't seen Barbados
So I must get out of this

You know, I think that every bastard who says there's nothing wrong with rape should be lined up, raped by a huge convict they have no chance of fighting off, and then be shot in each one of their limbs. After that, they should be dragged over pointy rocks that dig just right into their bullet wounds off to a big x spray painted on the ground. That's where we drop the two ton block that crushes their hips only. Then we walk away and let them die. If it takes more than an hour, we bury early.

I'm in a damn good mood today, so your comment barely made me giggle. And my "vocab" doesn't need to be increased by someone who uses the words "fugly" or "rabid niggers" in a sentence. And if you think you amuse people by making fun of a person who has been raped, you're more of a dumb fuck than I thought, but don't worry my friend, I bet you will find someone just as moronic as you who finds this just as entertaining, dumb fucks deserve to be happy too =)!

Why is she singing it in slo mo?

[aRamires23]

This song makes me shiver, down to my soul. :S

I can not imagine what's on her mind when she sings this song, it just gives us a little bit of the agony and suffering that she went through. That proves that she's a awsome singer. GO TORI! :')

[Klayster]

I've always been a fan of the truth that lies within this song. It just shows what one can do, with pure talent, truth and raw emotion. I love Tori Amos, not just for this song, but all of her music and her willingness to help others heal through it and from establishing RAINN. I thank Tori for showing us that beauty is still within, even when we don't understand and cannot seem to shake the past -- there still lies a future. A glimpse of hope. Another way to breathe.

XoXo.

This gave me shivers and brought tears to my eyes, anyone who thinks rape isnt a big deal really doesnt have a soul, I havent experienced anything close to what Tori or anyone else has done but I know its awful and that the fear has to be unimaginable and not just whilst its happening to you but for the rest of your life. Rape is a horrid thing and everyone who thinks its ok is just as bad as the people who do rape people. Thank God for Tori, she has shown the light to many people. ♥

[SapphireJesse08]

@vampires18 Yeah, because fighting violence with more violence is COMPLETELY the message Tori wants to get across to people. She wrote Me and a Gun to get people to go out and fight and kill each other, that's totally the right attitude to have. Grow up. You're a sick fuck.
