Tori Tuesday

Todays Tori post is a song from 1998's Choirgirl Hotel called Cruel. I've included the link so you can go watch the video! Also today, I discovered this really cool lyric book that I didn't even know about! Woo hoo! Happy Tori Tuesday y'all!!!!!!




CRUEL

So don't give me respect don't give me a piece of your preciousness.
Flaunt all she's got in your old neighborhood, I'm sure she'll make a few friends.
Even the rain bows down, let us pray as you cock-cock-cock your mane.
No cigarettes only peeled Havana's for you.
I can be cruel, I don't know why.
Why can't my bal-la-loon stay up in a perfectly windy sky?
I can be cruel, I don't know why, I don't know why.
Dance with the Sufis celebrate your top ten in the charts of pain.
Nah... Lover, brother, bougainvillea, my vine twists around your need.
Even the rain is sharp like today as you sh-sh-shock me sane.
No cigarettes only peeled Havana’s for you.
I can be cruel, I don't know why.
Why can't my bal-la-loon stay up in a perfectly windy sky?
I can be cruel, I don't know why, I don't know why.
I can be cruel, but I don't know why.
Can't my bal-la-loon stay up in a perfectly windy sky?
I can be cruel, don't know why, don't know why... why... why...





Look what I found!!!!!!!!

The official lyric book containing the words to every one of Tori's released songs, from the best-loved hits to the rarest B-sides. Featuring the lyrics to over 100 songs, a foreward by Tori herself, and orignal artwork by Hern Leonhard, this beautiful, collectible book is a must for all Tori Amos fans.
