| Tori Amos – Hoochie Woman Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"went to work and the office girls were all burning their poetry It wasn't good but in the neighborhood now they're all just hoochie women" My interpretation of that is all the other girls in the office are concentrating too much on their men (girls write poetry about relationships, etc etc) and so they're all hoochie women. I think it's very much about independence, on a lot of levels. |

| Tori Amos – Martha's Foolish Ginger Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song jumped out at me when I first heard it, the way her voice just rises up on that "what I would have done", gives me goosebumps. Anyway, I went on a hunt on what this song could possibly mean, and it was so obvious when I found out: "I've got one song I've just finished which only had a title - Martha's Foolish Ginger - and a chorus: If those harbour lights had just been half a mile inland who knows what I would have done. I've actually been working on this song for eight years but couldn't figure out how to finish it. Then I suddenly realised the title was the name of her boat. And with that it was liberated, unlocked and everything came clear." |
