Precious Things

So I ran faster
but it caught me here
yes my loyalties turned
like my ankle
in the seventh grade
running after BILLY
running after the rain

These precious things
let them bleed, let them wash away
these precious things
let them break their hold over me

he said you're really an ugly girl
but I like the way you play and I died
but I thanked him
can you believe that sick
holding on to his picture
dressing up every day
I wanna smash the faces
of those beautiful BOYS
those christian boys
so you can make me cum
that doesn't make you Jesus

I remember
yes in my peach party dress
no one dared
no one cared to tell me
where the pretty girls are
those demigods
with their NINE-INCH nails
and little fascist panties
tucked inside the heart of every nice girl

Tori Amos, “Little Earthquakes, 1992

Bela, suave, melancólica, poderosa, estranha e absolutamente fascinante…. Assim é Tori Amos e a sua música! É a minha musa inspiradora e o “Little Earthquakes” é uma das suas obras mais brilhantes.
“Precious things” é a minha música preferida de sempre.
