I've been trying to figure it out but i just > can't seem to get it... Its a biblical scripture from Proverbs 31:3, "Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings." Regarding this quote, Tori related the following in the Spring '94 issue of WHFS press: Well, I'm going to tell you something cute about my dad. I called him from the studio and I said, "Look, I need a quote from the Bible that shows the raw deal women got." I call him back, and I'm in England 'cause were mixing, and I just needed this quote and my father says "Would you like to hear my quotes?" He gives me two pages of quotes form the Song Of Solomon which says, "Thy globes are like ripe sweet berries; thy navel is like a cup which poureth spring water." It just goes on forever and I say, "Dad, no, this is not representative of what I'm talking about." He says, "Yeah, but these are beautiful quotes." And it was very interesting to me how my father, bless his cotton socks, just can't acknowledge the way that the Church has treated not just women, but people in other cultures -- it's hard for him as a minister to see the other side of Christianity and what it's done in the name of God. Hope this helps. -Greg ("he writes letters...") _________________ |\ | | _/ .`-| Greg Burrell | , http://www.webville.com/~tori \ .4 | ---------- |\__// `--'\|gregb@netcom.com|`--' C|________________| ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Oct 1997 03:51:08 -0400 (EDT) From: RAINN18@aol.com Subject: YKTR Hey everyone, Well, I finally got a copy of YKTR a few weeks ago, and I think it absolutely great!!

Subject: Re: Q on Here, In my head Mike Richman wrote: > Anyone care to share their thoughts on what the song Here, In my head is all about. I'm trying to > make out the lyrics (with limited success). I remember when I first heard this song - I was seeing this guy who had a girlfriend - and it just really hit me hard. It was just a perfect timing for me - which seems to be the case with every Tori release (I was *very* ready for Boys for Pele). In my humble opinion....it's about a relationship with a guy who is already taken. She's trying to "get away" from him - you know, get him out of her head, out of her thoughts. But he's there (here, in my head). With the lines it's like she's saying "all those lies you told me, all of those stories...I don't think they're true". is sort of obvious. It's a very sad song for me - who *hasn't* known someone who comes running to you only when the *other* person isn't around? The saddest thing for me, though, is the not inability to get this guy out of your (or, should I say, my) head. She's running, and he's running after her (well, you know, not literally). This song *really* hits me when she sings that part and when she goes < Running around and calling me..come back. I'll show you the roses that brush off the snow, An' open in their petals again and again. An' you know that apple-green ice-cream can melt in your hands. I can't.> :-(. So, that's what it means to me. Gillian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ he is bored with me. my life is written on my skin, and he has read it before. he doesn't like an old story. especially one with his name in it. he used to read me with his fingers. he got tired of the ink that smudged his fingers. he is fed up with the binding that opens to the same page. the last page has been read. the mystery is over. I could replace the cover with a new picture, but it is still the same story. and he is bored with it. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Oct 1997 12:37:29 -0500 (CDT) From: lellis@umr.edu Subject: YKTR > Well, I finally got a copy of YKTR a few weeks ago, and I > think it absolutely great!!
