God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you?
God sometimes you just don't come through
You make pretty daisies, pretty daisies, love
(Come down and tell me what you mean now)
I got to find, find, find what you're doing about things here
(Inside, inside, what you doing?)
A few witches burning, gets a little toasty
(Hey, what do you know? What do you know?)
I got to find, find, find why you always go when the wind blows
God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through, babe
Do you need a woman to look after you?
God sometimes you just don't come through
Well, tell me you're crazy, maybe then I'll understand
(Come down and tell me what you mean now)
You got your nine iron in the back seat just in case
(Inside, inside, what you doing?)
Well, heard you've gone south, well, babe, you love your new four wheel
(Hey, what do you know? What do you know?)
I got to find, find, find why you always go when the wind blows
Give not thy strength unto women
Nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings (Proverbs 31:3)
Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall
Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky
God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through, babe
Do you need a woman to look after you?
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you?
God sometimes you just don't come through
BUT I'm glad Tori Amos gets her music played on RP - that's what makes it such a great eclectic station, and why I donate monthly. Thanks Bill and Rebecca!
I bought this album, and then Little Earthquakes. I can't decide which of the two is better, but they seem to be the best of all her albums.
Tori can't spell or sing.... And is a big reason I turn off RP almost every day when her "music" comes on.... Just terrible

Everybody in my church loves this groovy song...
Music is great though. And, this DOES rise above her usual psychotic repressed feminist drivel.
i've never, ever said that. someone call the parimedics...
Never been a fan of Ms. Amos.
I find her material eclectic & sophisticated. Very refreshing indeed!
Nope. Depends on your definition of "nuts" — by today's standards they themselves would be the nuts. What are they teaching in school these days?
Ummm... facts?
I come from a long line of teachers (and I would have been one myself, but I prefer to focus on the me good and leave the greater good to someone with more patience), and I can tell you that the teachers only teach what is true, proven, and required by the state that they teach in. Now if some of the state requirements are complete BS (intelligent design anyone?), that's the fault of the elected state government.
SO SPOT ON!!!!!!!
Hmmm, interesting and clever playlist Bill.
Sympathies. . . I can add to the list, custody to my three kids, my house and everything in it, my dog. . . and my mind. I got my mind back and happily, my kids.
This track is rather good. . . I love the squeeky guitar.
Profound? I don't think so. Sounds like Tori is looking for a divine vending machine AND I object to the implication that a man who doesn't come through simply needs a woman to take care of him.
Me too, as a woman. We can take care of ourselves, and most times, we don't wanna take care of a man, anyway, as they're supposed to be the head of household and should be able to handle stuff on their own. Any man who "doesn't come through" doesn't need a woman - he needs to, in the words of John Mellencamp, "suck it up and tough it out - be the best
I'm not a Tori Amos fan - she's a Kate Bush-wannabe, as far as I can tell. Um, and crocky - could you please stop using that puke emoticon? It always makes me feel like I have to throw up, even when I don't feel like I have to throw up.
Thank you.
Great comment!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
You just made me snort!!

"There was actually a part of me that felt really yummy going: 'Ok babe, you're in a bit of trouble. Things aren't going well. Put your feet up. I'll make you a cup of tea 'cause you need some advice. I'm not busy this week so you're in luck'. There has been a shift in the way I see myself. Instead of 'poor little human', it's more like: 'Ok, I'm human and maybe you are immortal, but I know stuff 'cause I'm here, so I do have a perspective that I value. That's really a wonderful place, I think. Humans haven't been taught that they should value their perspective. It's always been so much bowing and scraping to the mythological deity. And I'm kind of feeling like He needs a babe. I'm definitely going after the patriarchy in that song. I'm going after the male presence that's dominated religion and calling forth the goddess to do that. It's a goddess thing to do."
"I was a sunday school teacher. I had the biggest class, I had 70 kids in my class because I uhh wore red leather pants to church. but um, I felt like uhh the one thing that was missing from church was the goddess. so I decided that God needed a little help. And this song really gets me off folks, so bear with me. and He's kinda chucklin', y'know He's right here going "rrmmmmm"."

"I wanted this tribal rhythm. I started this whole song at the pueblo in New Mexico. And so I wanted those primal drums going."
— Tori intro to song; during an NPR radio interview, Murfreesboro, TN, 1994
"Lemons and burnt oranges would come barreling down the skyway on the draw if the dark grey cats didn't open up and let those girls twirl in their fluffy new dresses"

Thomas Jefferson was a Christian. He just didn't believe in the hoo-doo voo-doo version.
badass song in all respects.

Next time you listen to a song, how about hiring a guy who has previously liked a song at least once in his life so he can make a nice comment. Thanks!
And the last time I checked, no one in government was telling anyone how to believe in this country. (Not counting the "Faith-Based Initiatives" that ol' DumbAss started)
Here's what the smartest of our "Founding Fathers" said on the subject:
"It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." -Thomas Jefferson
All you religious nuts, keep on believing. Everyone else? Let's go have a beer!
HELLO! Madison was the smartest.
Had to check to make sure I had already rated this a 1

The irony of a poster who cannot spell "her" accusing Tori of being unable to spell.
