good evening! i just came across this amazing & brilliant live performance of my dear tori amos singing a gorgeous new track called almost rosey (i posted the lyrics below too!) which is off her upcoming album american doll posse (due out may 1st) i have no clue when this was taped but the quality is excellent plus it's one of the tracks i have pegged as a fave off the new album! (tori credits this track to isabel's persona) stay tuned here as of course there'll be some more postings on ms. amos very soon! (please don't forget she is my absolute favorite for about fifteen years now!) popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
almost rosey
uh uh uh hey hey hey
uh uh uh hey hey hey
just a minute of your time,
yes i've been known to delude myself
so let me put those rose colored glasses to the test
now is this real enough for you 'cause
blondes here don't jump out of cakes
if that never impressed you much
come board this lunatic express
why do they say
have a nice day anyway
we both know they wouldn't mind
if i just curled up and died
oh, lets not give that one a try
chin up, put on a pair of these roses raise those blinds
chin up, a happy mask was never your best disguise
chin up, put on a pair of these roses
in no time
you will feel almost fine
almost rosey
uh uh uh hey hey hey
now some girls here will huddle with,
no,
not footballers that are rich
but we'll confide in small white sticks
he bounces the viriginian slim
then i just tried once to comply with an authority
that will subsidize my wild side
but at this altar we're sacrificed
yes you can laugh,
a femme fatale,
in a bride's dress
now married to the effortless of the cracks
that lie now in between the facts
why do they say
have a nice day anyway
we both know they wouldn't mind
if i just curled up and died
oh, lets not give that one a try
chin up, put on a pair of these roses raise those blinds
chin up, a happy mask was never your best disguise
chin up, put on a pair of these roses in no time
you will feel almost fine
almost rosey
uh uh uh hey hey hey
now about when violet died
the cause still unidentified
she thought her love would be enough
but you can't seduce seduction
her tentacles of endless want
reach through my corridors
and tempt me to taste of her power
i sober with the witching hour
and when i hear of one more bomb
yes we have all been robbed of song
and nightingales who throw their arms up
when is enough enough
why do they say
have a nice day anyway
we both know they wouldn't mind
if i just curled up and died
oh, lets not give that one a try
chin up, put on a pair of these roses raise those blinds
chin up, a happy mask was never your best disguise
chin up, put on a pair of these roses in no time
you will feel almost fine
almost rosey
uh uh uh hey hey hey
uh uh uh hey hey hey
feeling almost rosey
