Doughnut Song (Tori Amos) - Allison Crowe w. lyrics

"I think that other people covering my work is really exciting... I'm really open to that kind of thing because I think interpretation is an art form..." ~ Tori Amos Allison Crowe interprets Tori Amos' "Doughnut Song" - an intricate piano piece off "Boys for Pele". (This joins Allison's covers of Tori's "Northern Lad", "Josephine" and "1000 Oceans" - also here on YouTube.) "The goddess incarnate" Allison calls Tori, and, her songs remain favourites for the Canadian indie musician. http://www.allisoncrowe.com Thanks to Sarah Wheeler, creator of the "Strange Little Covers" website for posting Tori's June 2004 quote on the art of covers, and for sharing recordings by Allison and others inspired by Amos' songbook. The image accompanying the music was captured by photographer Billie Woods - http://www.billiewoods.com - on a day between concert performances, Allison visited the pier and beach at Brighton, England. Doughnut Song Words & Music by Tori Amos As performed by Allison Crowe Had me a trick and a kick and your message You'll never gain weight from a doughnut hole Then thought that I could decipher your message There's no one here, dear No one at all And if I'm wasting all your time this time Said you never learned to take And if I'm hanging on to your full shade I guess I'm way beyond the pale And southern men can grow gold can grow 'purty' Blood can be pretty like a delicate man Copper to steel and a hinge that is faltered that let's you in let's you in let's you in And if I'm wasting all your time this time Guess you never learned to take If I'm hanging on to your full shade Guess I'm way beyond the pale Something's, something's just keeping you numb You told me last night that you were a sun now with your very own devoted satellite I'm happy for you and I am sure that I hate you Two sons too many, too many able fires You've been wasting all my time this time Said you never learned to take And if I'm hanging on to your shade I guess I'm way beyond the pale I guess I'm way beyond the pale Had me a trick and a kick and your message You'll never gain weight from a doughnut hole © Sword & Stone w. lyrics help from hereinmyhead.com
