Amos, Tori - Rattlesnakes Lyrics






Jodie wears a hat although it hasn't rained for six days
she says a girl needs a gun these days
hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
she looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront
she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
she's less than sure if her heart has come to stay in San Jose
and her neverborn child still haunts her
as she speeds down the freeway
as she tries her luck with the traffic police
out of boredom more than spite
she never finds no trouble, she tries too hard
she's obvious despite herself
she looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront
she says all she needs is therapy yeah
all you need is, love is all you need
Jodie never sleeps 'cause there are always needles in the hay
she says that a girl needs a gun these days
hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
she looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront
as she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
her heart, heart's like crazy paving
upside down and back to front
she says ooh, it's so hard to love
when love was your great disappointment

  1. L.... E....

    TA tudo bem,LÔ. Vc é só uma das serpentes que descem a montanha russa da Vida.. Encara ao invés de gritar desesperadamente.

  2. H.... ....

    Haunting, seductive, soulful, ambient.... I could go on but you get it

  3. M.... A....

    Awful! Dire beyond words!.......

    M.... A....

    Go back to 21 pilots, soyboy

  4. G.... A....

    I will never be able to listen to this without thinking of my mother.

  5. c.... ....

    All you need is love is all you need

  6. H.... M....

    Love this cover. I actually didn't know the original, and was introduced to it through this...

  7. s.... b....

    I really love Tori's voice, and think she's a very talented song writer. But she made this version of rattle snakes a little too slow and moopy for my taste. That being said, still enchanting. 2nd best behind the orig Lloyd Cole.

  8. S.... E....

    I’d personally prefer to learn them but here are the lyrics nonetheless.

    Rattlesnakes

    Jodie wears a hat although it hasn't rained for six days
    She says a girl needs a gun these days
    Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
    She looks like Eve Marie saint in on the waterfront
    She reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
    She's less than sure if her heart has come to stay in San Jose
    And her never-born child still haunts her
    As she speeds down the freeway
    As she tries her luck with the traffic police
    Out of boredom more than spite
    She never finds no trouble, she tries too hard
    She's obvious despite herself
    She looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront
    She says all she needs is therapy, yeah
    All you need is, love is all you need
    Jodie never sleeps 'cause there are always needles in the hay
    She says that a girl needs a gun these days
    Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
    She looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront
    As she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
    Her heart, heart's like crazy paving

    eev marie saynt

  10. J.... M....

    There's actually a song with my name in it.

  11. C.... 6....

    Sie hat die einmalige Fähigkeit, einen Song quasi zu sezieren, seine Seele freizulegen und aus einem banalen Original das zu machen, was dort verborgen blieb

  12. E.... ....

    Wow, that's one massive butchering of a song....

    E.... ....

    I have to disagree entirely. She gave the song a caring touch with her amendments.

    E.... ....

    EvilDoctor1 go back to thumbing up Sims and Susan Boyle clips, dork

  13. T.... ....

    she made this song hers, brilliant !

  14. T.... P....

    my cousin Jean may of had his son shoot his brian but my dad did not kill jake, but i can see how u get that wrong

  15. c.... ....

    Jodi never sleeps,cause there are always needles in the hay

  16. J.... R....

    all you need is love is all you need

  17. J.... M....

    perfection....

    J.... M....

    Definitely my favorite on the album

  18. k.... ....

    It's so hard to love when love was your great disappointment.

  19. R.... H....

    I really hated that album. .think I'll have to listen to it again (it's Been like 7 years) to appreciate it.

    R.... H....

    It's definitely a grower. New Age, '97 Bonnie and Clyde, Strange Little Girl, Time, I Don't Like Mondays, Heart of Gold, Raining Blood and Real Men are the highlights for me.

    R.... H....

    Wow tastes are so different: I immediately loved it. Try listening again.

    R.... H....

    They're cover songs, many of them IMO with not the best interpretation. Weird for the sake of being weird. I understand her '97 Bonnie & Clyde is "artistic" and "bold" etc. But it's really not enjoyable to listen to. Pretty sure SLG was created primarily for contract fulfillment. Only real standout tracks are Rattlesnakes, I Don't Like Mondays and SLG. Time, Heart of Gold and New Age are OK... but "OK" is not a compliment when rating Tori songs.

    R.... H....

    Never born child haunts her now..... X

    R.... H....

    Some I instantly loved this and Heart of Gold, whereas '97 Bonnie and Clyde isn't pleasant to listen to, as someone said, but interesting just for the sake artistically of it being from a female point of view. I haven't listened to the album in years, to be honest. I'll have to revisit to reevaluate - I just came here to show my husband this version, as he wasn't familiar...

    I'm curious to see what my older self makes of it, as it came out when I was in college, lol... God, that makes me feel old...

  20. F.... ....

    Ugh, that zoom to cut...

  21. R.... L....

    Simply Beautiful!!!!

    Thank You for Posting!!!!

  22. C.... C....

    She ' s special !
    Voice, music and looks !!!
