Has anyone else noticed how the lyric: "I. I have heard. that you can play the way I like it to be played" kind of mimics the line in 'Precious Things' "He said you're really an ugly girl, but I like the way you play..."
The Beekeeper is a much softer, gentler album as others have commented and 13 years after 'Little Earthquakes' Tori Amos seems to have resolved a lot of her sexual/feminine angst (e.g. she married and had a baby), so now she is more at ease with herself and men and sexuality, etc. and hence the lyric reflects that.
Just a thought I had last time I listened to this song.
I HAVE noticed that! Found it interesting that maybe she did that on purpose to kind of indicate that she has healed and realized that "playing" is part of life.
