I have played it about 500 times now.. One little thing about the lyrics: I could swear I can hear "Got a cellular handy".. you know, like in a cellular phone..? Cause that kinda makes sense with the "Call an ambulance-part"..

From P.117 of the UK music magazine "Vox" (Issue #85, November '97) Tori Amos - Live In New York (Warner Music Video, =A312.99) Flame-haired songstress gets those emotions going Of all the American femal singer-songwriters in the '90s, Tori amos is surely the most talented and original. Even if you consider people who suckle piglets on their album sleeves worthy of total ridicule, it's hard to deny the emotional impact a performance like this has on any half-sentient music lover. This is a truly exhausting 100-minute performance recorded earlier this year at Madison Square Garden. Exhausting in the sense that Tori always puts you through the emotional mill with her own songs like "Silent All These Years", "Me And A Gun", and "Marianne". There's extra poignancy with this show being a benefit for Rape, Abuse And Incese Network, and the usual confessional atmosphere seems more intense than ever. But Tori is still an entertainer. She tells stories, dances like a loon, and looks like she's constantly trying to shag the piano stool. Excellent behaviour. If you can stomach the appearance of the lead singer from Tool on a duet, you should be sufficiently intoxicated to laugh, cry, and hurl garlands at the TV, like most of the crowd seems to be doing here. And you might even understand why everyone needs to clutch a piglet to their breast once in a while. **** (out of *****) Mike E-mail : michael@pta15.u-net.com (\o/) and visit my web pages at http://www.pta15.u-net.com/mike/index.html /_\ for Gloria Estefan, Peach and Erasure information and Links! e.d.a.

I'm dying to hear the entire song, and now I'm even more desparate to hear Tori's new music (and we have to wait till when??? March? May? Too long!). I don't care right now what it means, or what she's saying (though I DO hear something about "she's got a celullar handy" in there), I'm still riding the wave of hearing something new from her! Hooray! Anyway, jsut felt the need to share... :) Bright Blessings and Lollipops! Yvette. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Definitions are limiting.

I heard fiona say in an interview with howard stern, that she doesn't want to talk about her rape because she doesnt care, it was long ago, and she doesnt think the guy is worth talking about. It was really strange. I think she deals with it in her own way, and just not focusing on it helps her I guess. As for tori, it was healing for her to talk about it. I don't think fiona wants to draw attention to it ,and that it why she said that. Did anyone else see that interview? I thought it was really strange of her to respond that way about it. Maybe she just didn't want to tell howard stern about it. angie ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Oct 1997 20:03:40 PDT From: "Ray Bailey" Subject: Re: Siren lyrics >Well, whaddaya think?

Maybe she just didn't want to tell howard stern about it. Howard Stern's pretty much a jerk, and pretty insensitive; I doubt he could handle this subject with any sort of tact. I wouldn't even *think* about discussing this with him, if I were her. - -Richard. @ \@/ Richard A.
