Tori Amos – Original Sinsuality Lyrics 19 years ago
It means that no one is so horrible that they're unforgivable. Even Samael, angel of death / Fallen Angel, depending on who you ask.

Sophia the mother is calling them home. They're not alone, she's always been one step behind them, watching over all her children.

Tori Amos – Sister Janet Lyrics 19 years ago
Sounds like a bunch of cerimonial magick references.

Demon and an Englishman...Alastair Crowley?

Slipping the blade in the marmelade - some sexual reference, possibly to the "Blade and Chalice" or Great Rite.

I like the angels wings covering things. Angels have been responsible for deaths, for leveling towns, for God's vengance...

and everyone thinks of them as beautiful and peaceful things with beautiful wings.

A wing can cover all sorts of things....Indeed, Tori!

Tori Amos – Etienne Lyrics 19 years ago
It's definately about reincarnation. I think she knew someone she cared about very deeply, and felt like she had always known him, and this is her message to him. Kind of a "What if this is how we knew each other so well?" thing.

Tori Amos – Cornflake Girl Lyrics 19 years ago
For some reason, whenever I hear this I think about prostitution and women being taken advantage of. "Man with the Golden Gun" is all about James Bond, who is a shameless womanizer.

"They must have paid her a nice price, She's putting on her stringbean love" "Must have been a cheaper feel, now" either stripping or prostitution.


"Rabbit, where'd you put the keys, girl?" This to me is a reference to Trudi Chase. She has many multiple personalities, and one of her earliest ones is Rabbit. Rabbit is a tormented young girl who was molested by Trudi's father, and was present when Trudi's beloved pet rabbits were slaughtered. Rabbit is locked away safe inside Trudi. Hence, where'd you put the keys, girl?" to let Rabbit out and be freed of her pain.

(Trudi Chase has written a book "When Rabbit Howls" describing her experiences as a multiple.)



Just my two cents. The Trudi Chase stori was big when this album came out.
