Tori Amos -- Precious Things Lyrics
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 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
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break their hold over me
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
These precious things
Let them bleed
Let them wash away
These precious things
Let them break
Let them wash away
These these precious things
Let them bleed now
Let them wash away
These these precious things
Let them break their hold over me
Precious
Precious

I am so so grateful that I grew up with women like Tori as role models. We had such amazing, powerful female artists in the 90's that were unafraid.

@wormzgalore5288 3 года назад

This performance of this song highlights one of the things I love about Tori. She REALLY puts herself out there, not just through her lyrics but also through her playing and singing. At points in this performance she appears almost possessed by the song, singing in tongues. The courage to write and perform this way is something had by very few.

@julianamason6847 3 года назад

I feel almost possessed listening to and watching this performance of this song. Head spinning, back arching possessed. Truly a mesmerizing & all senses aboard to this amazingly powerful & beautiful scene! Toe curling, back arching, teeth gritting...raw emotion physically manifested,...just pure awe, as a grown woman raised in the church as a child, & traumatized by it, I cannot even put into words my rection to this performance. 🕉💜

@LaughingSaint66 2 года назад

@jeffblydenburgh5938 Год назад

Lisa is on a much different level. Love Tori, but ever see DCD live or Lisa’s solo performance? I have been witness to both in the 90’s.

@scottattube717 Год назад

Personally, I didn't like that she changed the lyrics from "So, you're an ugly girl. But I like the way you PLAY" to "like the way you smile". I mean, I get it! Women are strangely expected to smile at EVERYONE. I don't get it.

@sanderslongdrive Год назад

Only a few pull off the very highest echolon of performance........Kate Bush, Annie Lennox, Tori Amos......... Of course such is about delivering an outstanding voice, but it embraces much more. An exquisite song is wrapped in the performer's naked and fully exposed soul, sprinkled with magic dust, and then possessed by Euterpe and her fellow Muses. They all squeeze in before wrestling and writhing to burst out. Who knows where the performer goes to, but she is lost, her voice and body body totally surrendered to the gods. Listeners are bewitched, instantly forgetting their wives children and faithful dogs. The sounds, the sights steal their souls and their Bibles declare adultery as their fantasies become the now, the only reality. They are lost, never wanting to be found only eternally orgasm within velvet sheets of sound.

This exact combination of amazing musicians really were a dream team. She’s played with lots of other artists but this group has a chemistry and layering that really enhances the song and makes it even better than it was when she initially played it.

Whether you realize it or not, this song is a prayer. It is a prayer of someone asking for freedom from all the little hurts that have accumulated over the years. It a prayer asking for the strength to forgive and move on. I love this song for its rawness and its truth. We all have a thousand small cuts that have devastated us over the years. We need to let them wash away. Let them break their hold over us. Brilliant!

Beautiful production brother. As someone that has gone to your shows since my 20’s and rocked your music with you being my favorite underground artist forever it’s been great to see your spiritual journey through music as it’s helped center me in my own experience with the passing of time. What happened to the early 2000’s when I was a young traveler and found my home in the Los Angeles underground hip hop scene… the search for meaning and the sharing of knowledge with consciousness being the ultimate goal and game; serious but f**k so fun..and painful. Going to Project Blowed and hittin the spot in Pasadena for shows. Forever grateful for your music ; especially the journey through the up’s and downs of substance use ; both the vehicle to insight and eventuality. 🏋🏻 Stay up brother and keep inspiring reflection

I would go so far to say that nobody is that gifted not only with such an amazing voice and skills but even with the talent to play, feel, life music. By far the best. But crap is more known by the crowd. But so let it be, she is like a precious diamond not everybody has at home.
