Amos, Tori - Josephine Lyrics






Not tonight Josephine

In an army's strength
Therein lies the denouemnet
From here you've haunting me
By the seine so beautiful
Only not ot be of use
Impossible

So strange
Victory - 1,200 spires
Th only sound
Moscow turning
Empth like the Tuileries
Like a dream
Vienna seems
Only not to be of use
Impossible

In the last extrmity
To advance or not to advance
I hear you laughing

Even still you're calling me
"Not tonight, not tonight, not tonight"
Josephine

    Supposedly Josephine never loved him, just the way he loved her.

  2. J.... S....

    Haunting is the only word that can describe this song.

    It's a beauty, this one. Came on random shuffle on my way to work through foggy London this morning. I know this song is about Napoleon's first wife, but my first unrequited love's name was Josephine, or Josie. I was her first kiss, age 14, but she soon blossomed into a beautiful woman always beyond my reach. We were very close but she always changed her mind at the last minute every time there was a chance to become a couple. She became more cold and more cruel, so after 20 years and a holiday from hell together I finally stopped holding a candle for her and moved on. That was five years ago. '...from here you're haunting me... only not to be of use, impossible... to advance or not to advance, I hear you laughing, even now you're calling me, not tonight, not tonight, not tonight... Josephine.'

    I named my baby rescue greyhound after this song. I sing this song to my Josephine every night :) x

  5. J.... S....

    One of her most underrated songs.

    J.... S....

    I looooove this song...

  6. C.... Z....

    Great song, and whoever translated the lyrics from Torispeak to English deserves an award

  7. C.... P....

    I had misunderstood some of the lyrics in here and it was so cool to see what they really are.

  8. K.... R....

    nice. i was going to ask for this

  9. M.... J....

    Got a favorite Tori song you'd like to see a lyric video for, let me know!! :)

    M.... J....

    Matt Jones i love this sing, but cant figure out what the lyrics are about. Can you explain?

    M.... J....

    Obetrol Sunset uh, Napoleon and Josephine? Sheesh do they not teach history in school anymore?

    M.... J....

    John6yt People are going to stop wanting to ask questions if you reply to people with a less than gentle response duch as this. I could understand you being less than gentle if someone was being rude, but you need to be gentle when someone is asking an innocent question about something they do not know about. Tori herself would have considered your response harsh and insensitive.

    How about “upside down “ for lyrics or better yet “cooling “

    M.... J....

    I'd like to read the lyrics for father Lucifer. You know, towards the end when it's her voice singing 3 different things.
