Caught a lite sneeze
Caught a light breeze
Caught a lightweight lightning seed
Boys on my left side
Boys on my right side
Boys in the middle and you're not here
I need a big loan from the girl zone
Building tumbling down
Didn't know our love was so small
Couldn't stand at all
Mr. St. John just bring your son
The spire is hot and my cells can't feed
And you've still got that Belle dragging your foots, yes
I'm hiding it well Sister Ernestine
But I still got that Belle dragging my foots, yes
Building tumbling down
Didn't know our love was so small
Couldn't stand at all
Mr. St. John just bring your son
Right on time you get closer and closer
Called my name there's no way in
Use that fame rent your wife and kids today
Yeah maybe she will, I said maybe she will
Caught a lite sneeze
Dreamed a little dream
Made my own pretty hate machine
Boys on my left side
Boys on my right side
Boys in the middle and you're not here
Boys in their dresses and you're not here
I need a big loan from the girl zone

Tori Amos is always interesting, if not always comfortable.
She must be Bjork’s distant relative.

Unlistenable like everything else from Tori Amos and her mentor Kate Bush. Terrible stuff.

Does Tori throw in Nine Inch Nails references into her songs on purpose? She says "Pretty Hate Machine" here and actually says "nine inch nails" in another song.

Tori always knows just what she is doing, even if others don't. I love her integrity as an artist.
I think she was ahead of her time. I like her much better today than I did in 1997. It's super nice.

Right…the other way around—if anything.
Given that Tori released Boys for Pele 15 years before Feist released Metals, which the Wiki says was almost entirely written in 2010 and beyond, chances are pretty good that the Cornflake Girl didn't intend her song to be a response to Feist's.

Bill, I swear you play this just to get the commentators riled up! Is this a spoof on Feist's "Caught a Long Wind"? (Like Nellie McKay's "Get Away From Me" CD was a spoof on all the Come Away With Me, etc., releases of the era.) Who knows…

Tori makes me always happy. It is beautiful, even if it's miles and miles away from the cornflake girl

Hmmmm....how to rate this song? Strictly within Ms. Amos' body of work, I'd give it at least a 7. But when compared to everything else out there, I'd give it maybe a 3. So a 5?

How's this for a Mondegreen? For the longest time I couldn't figure out what she was singing where it sounded not entirely unlike "getting stoned at IHOP"...
OMG, the gasping is horrific.

It is written by Tori Amos and was on her album 'Boys for Pele' from 1996. I think that was the first time it was released but maybe someone has covered it later.
BTW not my fav Tori song, but still very good.
It's been covered interestingly by Voltaire, a Cuban-American glam-goth artist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RrPtKE8Xzk

I'm kinda agreeing here. My personal dislike for most Tori material aside, she does have a very good voice and is quite the poet with her lyrics. I can understand the appeal, even if it doesn't appeal to me.
That being said, Tori doesn't have the talent of the Beatles. Plus, there were 3 exceptional (and one pretty darn good) people in the Beatles that had to resolve personal, ego, and financial issues in order to stay together as a group. As it worked out, the personal and the ego issues were too much and the group had to go their separate ways.
If you consider all the success in the solo careers that the individual members of the Beatles have had, each one would be at least as successful if not much more so than Tori. Take away Lennon's assination and George Harrison's early death, and both of them would still be as relevant in today's music as Paul is now. Ringo... well... aside from an interesting style of playing, I don't see that he contributed much. I'm no Beatles historian, but from my personal exposure to the group, I don't really feel like he brought much to the table.

Her angst always sounds forced to me. I don't hate her, I just don't like her. I've tried since my first exposure to her in 1995, really I have.
This is so much better than anything on her new album IMHO

As for comparisons to Tori's other albums, I would like to defend Boys for Pele. Although I find Under the Pink haunting, thematically purer, and just a very strong work, Boys for Pele represents Tori's diversity much better. She gets to be playfully serious, seriously playful, full of joy in one song and sorrow in the next. "Not the Red Baron" gives me chills even now. Mr. Zebra still makes me laugh. I think Pele marks a watershed moment for Tori, where she got to make the kind of album she wanted without so much studio input.
"Little Earthquakes" was cloaked with newness— here was a star being showcased for the first time. But it was also cloaked with some amateurness, a newbie's over-earnestness. Refreshing, to be sure, but at times trying too hard.
"Under the Pink" had a lot of stripped down songs, with the studio-inserted string sequences adding some extra substance at times, but at other times distracting from the piano. Mostly, though, here was Tori and a piano—what a pairing! Listening to Under the Pink, I often feel like I am in a giant, empty warehouse, and all I can hear is Tori and a piano somewhere unseen at the other end of the building. This was a mature and beautiful album.
"Boys for Pele" came along, and Tori was showing off. She used a harpsichord and other old-fashioned instruments. She sang about whatever she wants and made 180 degree turns from one song to the next. She had 4 minute ballads and 30 seconds improv pieces. She was having fun, and I was, too. She was experimenting freely, which marks an artist now in full control. And I would say she accomplished a rare trifecta— three strong studio albums to start out a career. (we ignore her true "first album", of course).
After Pele, Tori wandered for a while. She tried to make her works more "rock", and that never really succeeded. "Scarlet's Walk" marked a nice return to form, though, and I would say since then she has been consistent. Of course not as raw and powerful as she was.

Is this song sub-titled "Swimming with Flipper"? Ouch.
Still ho hum at best.
Tori rules!
Not her best work. She's better on "Under the Pink," "Scarlett's Walk," "The Beekeeper," and of course - "Little Earthquakes." "Boys for Pele" and "From the Choirgirl Hotel" are lame and just - I dunno - not comparable.
Stop dryer, remove cat.
Come on, Tori is awesome and unique. If you don't like her, change to the LRC channel or something. She's had a lot of crap go on in her life, and she expresses it through her artform. What's wrong with that?

RP listeners seem to either love or hate Tori. I lean towards the latter camp. Can anyone point me to some of music that isn't so breathy, swoopy and deliberately off beat?
I think I could go for her style, but her stuff just seems so forced and attention-seeking. "Look at me! I'm distressed and moody!"
The Swiss have a saying: To each little animal, his own little pleasures. Somehow that seems fitting when I think of Tori Amos.
That "breathy" voice is terrible! Wish I had some earplugs right now!

P.S. If you don't like her, fine. I can understand how some people might not dig her style. But is it necessary to flame every time she is played? Obviously, there are people who enjoy her music and RP will probably keep playing her. Just my two cents. No need to get angry. 
Agreed. Can I c/p this for every flame on here? I'm beginning to think RP needs to be moderated.
this song always made me laugh.

Thank you. I was just thinking about how I could use a bit of Tori in my day.

Right on.
Glad for the Tori in my day, too.

me too: it's a 3
I remember when Tori hit the music scene, every new women vocalist had a voice like her, wonder what happened to them. I think the uniqueness of her voice doesn't transend to others. Probably a good thing.

I'm curious, is Tori summoning dolphins here?
i think she may think so. let's ask the guy who 'gets her.'
Ten years later and I still haven't managed to shake this album. I still listen to it pretty regularly, and I marvel that this song - which I love - actually got radio play.
Oh good!
Now we get to hear HER have an asthma attack too.
1 a-n-d
mute.
This song reminds me of a quote Tori said herself "I need a man who would be kind to my daughter but still would throw me against the wall and .... me" well I you can fill in the blank... Love it.
Thank you. I was just thinking about how I could use a bit of Tori in my day.
