There are a few ways to develop your vision of life. I document. I could be documenting you… Do I document truth? I document what I see. How others view the world. This is how I have come to know the world. The place I hold in a group of women is that of a Lens. A lens that records an actual happening. Objectivity can only be attained if you are open to another perception, even one that is contrary to your own. I will endeavor to present perceptions that I feel are worth your time.

YO GEORGE
Vocals: Isabel
Bösendorfer: Tori Amos
I salute to you Commander
and I sneeze
‘Cause I have Now
an Allergy
To your policies it seems
Where have we gone wrong America?
Mr. Lincoln we can’t seem
to find you anywhere out of the millions
From the deserts
To the mountains
Over prairies
To the shores
Is this just the Madness of King George
Yo George
Is this just the Madness of King George
Yo George
Well you have the whole Nation
on all fours
MR. BAD MAN
Vocals: Isabel
Bösendorfer and Rhodes: Tori Amos
Drums: Matt Chamberlain
Bass: Jon Evans
Electric Guitar and Ukulele: Mac Aladdin
He’s a bad man
Mr. Bad Man
And she had enough of him
so the wolves try to dry her eyes
‘cause the bad man made her cry
But everyday I know that
I may just be closer
to the sea of frozen words
Words that even soldiers
would lay down their swords for
And they come in every color
And flavor too doo doo doo doo
And flavor too doo doo doo doo
There’s a gold star
on a gendarme
So she asked him
"Hey can you hold my song?
It’s the one piece that I got left
so hide it well" she said
He’s a bad man
Mr. Bad Man
And she had enough of him
so the wolves try to dry her eyes
‘cause the bad man made her cry
But everyday I know that
I may just be closer
to the sea of frozen words
Words that even soldiers
would lay down their swords for
And they come in every color
And flavor too doo doo doo doo
And flavor too doo doo doo doo
DEVILS AND GODS
Vocals: Isabel
Ukulele, Mandolin and High Strung Acoustic Guitar: Mac Aladdin
Devils and Gods now that’s an idea
But if we believe that it’s They who decide
That’s the ultimate detractor of crimes
‘cause Devils and Gods
They are You and I
Devils and Gods
They are You and I
Devils and Gods
Safe and Inside
ALMOST ROSEY

Bösendorfer: Tori Amos
Drums: Matt Chamberlain
Bass: Jon Evans
Electric 6 and 12 String Guitars: Mac Aladdin
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
Just why do they say
Have a nice day anyway
We both know they wouldn’t mind
If I just curled up and died
Let’s not give that one a try
Chin up put on a pair of these roseys
Raise those blinds
Chin up a happy mask was never
Your best disguise
Chin up put on a pair of these roseys
In no time you will feel almost fine
Almost rosey
Now some girls here will huddle with
No not footballers that are rich
but will confide in small white sticks
He bats as The Virginian Slim
Then I tried once to comply
with an authority that would
Subsidize my wild side
But at this altar was sacrificed
Yes you can laugh a femme fatale
in a bride’s dress now married to
The effortlessness of the cracks
That lie now in between the facts
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?
DARK SIDE OF THE SUN
Vocals: Isabel
Bösendorfer and Wurli: Tori Amos
Background vocals: Tori
Drums: Matt Chamberlain
Bass: Jon Evans
Acoustic 12 String and Electric Guitars: Mac Aladdin
Is there a way out of this?
If there is I don’t see it
Can Heaven and Hell coexist?
Not when both battle for dominance
Brush back my tears and he said "girl
we have to soldier on
yes girl even when we don’t feel strong"
So how many young men have to lay down
their life and their love of their woman
for some sick promise of a heaven
Lies go back now to the garden
Even the four horses say all bets are off
we’re on the dark side of the sun
we’re on the dark side of the sun
we’re on the dark side of the sun
soon there’ll be fast food on the moon
painted in neon with For Sale signs up
you say "I’m more afraid of what
tomorrow could bring to us"
Brushed back my tears and he said “girl
you have to soldier on
yes girl even when you don’t feel strong”
So how many young men have to lay down
their life and their love of their woman
for some sick promise of a heaven
Bushes burn there on the mountain
Abraham and Ishmael turn back the clock
we’re on the dark side of the sun
we’re on the dark side of the sun
we’re on the dark side of the sun
