Amos, Tori - Welcome To England Lyrics

And after the election of BoJo, no more welcome to England...

I 💜 Tori Amos her voice is so hyptonizing

💜💜💜

10 years old WTF

Welcome to England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 nice

For Craig Dennis Brennan

Thinking of the real men out there thank you so much Craig

I miss attending your concerts Tori Amos. My dear friend Mayra Izzaguera knows how much I love you.

I can imagine Prince Harry singing this to Meghan

okay stop comparing women!

Great song, but it's a miss conception England is always grey and wet. as i'm weather dependent for my job i know! you might be surprised how little rain England gets. Scotland on the over hand is a non stop waterfall.

It's a metaphor! You gotta bring your own sun: that's the condition of every immigrant (many people like to call themselves 'expat', but that's the same thing as immigrant)

Welcome to England, unless your names Trump, then you can bugger off.

I love the bass line in the chorus.

tears to my eyes

:( I clicked on this while drunk because I thought it was gonna be a cover of Manowar's All Hail To England.

Bring your own sun 🌞

'bring your own sun' - africans incoming.
Too bad because I like this song.

Praying for england

Welcome to islam 😡

Why We Serve ;>)

I ve had seven journeys to America and I love American history.Still trying to write " to Deaf Row And Back" and a guide to American slang/accents.

Her music is 100% shit since she had her daughter. Every song is 10 minutes of crap. I miss Tori Amos. I do not like this new Tori. Absolute crap.

mmm....Irish Guards :D

Slm. Tori thank you for your meanigfull beautyful music. It is big part of my life . Allah protect you

"Well, erm, hmm, its alright. We've got understatement. We have strong prevailing South Westerly winds. 52% of our days are overcast, so as a nation we're infused with a wistful melancholy. But we remain a relentlessly chipper population, prone to mild eccentricity, binge drinking and casual violence"

You sound like Jewel. Jann Arden brought me here. In an interview she said this is her "get pumped up song"

Tori Amos was around way before Jewel. Also, they sound nothing alike.

Feels a little bit like her earlier material, with an extraordinary sound…what more can I add… LOVE IT!!

English people are magical fairies, this proves it. That makes me a quarter fairy, hey.

This is very beautiful and nice !!

My personal fave song from this Tori era.

welcome to Brexit

I said "Unwelcome to England."

what?!?!?

Oh dear

don't spoil a good song

A dreadful accent on the Jagger nonsense answered. She was Amos marked when nobody was asking.

Hold the professional art as idle and boo of consequence and design? Drums! Shemp.its the human stooges and the art of face defence.

Love the song & Pan shots of Hyde Park along with the Prince Albert Memorial , I'm a historian & did had the chance to see the ornate memorial before they restorated & adorned the statue in Gold, It's a very intriguing piece of work, Queen Victoria was so devastated by her husbands death! She had the statue built in 1872

I totally want that American Flag jumpsuit!

nikideal ugly outfit

I know I shouldn't assume but I think this song is about when Tori met and/or married Mark Hawley who is English?

They met a long long time ago. The rumor went that this song was actually about their marital problems ..

"You better bring your own sun" explains it all. This song is actually about expecting others to fill your needs but it inevitably leads to dissapointment.

As a Floridian that moved to England 8 years I can related to the chorus of this song ....better bring your own sun.

Absolute rubbish indeed. I wasn't talking about the rain. I was talking about the sun, which is what the lyrics of the song are about. Tori Amos has homes in England and Florida. She's originally from Maryland. Her lyrics seem to relate to her life experience. There is no comparison between the amount of sunlight you get in the Caribbean or Florida compared to Southern England or Cornwall where Tori I assume still has a home. There is a reason why Florida is known as the Sunshine State. We don't have endless days of dark over-cast skies. Mentioning the rainfall in New York is completely random, but Florida also receives less rainfall. 6 months of a dry season. 6 months of a rainy season.

I think it's sun as a metaphor for positivism, drive, energy, aspirations. England has a can't do/shouldn't try attitude that exudes a kind hopelessness and bleakness.

As a Dutchwoman who used to live in Florida and loved it there and moved to Britain in 2004 from Amsterdam, I can relate to the chorus of this song... as most Brits are sad and miserable (many dirt-poor, abused by their own government), trapped in steel corsets and gold-painted concrete, and crave sunshine. It is a metaphor @londonismycity Even though it is true that the English south coast - where I am, fortunately - has a lot more sun than Amsterdam and I really do kinda like that.

"You've been down before."

""Don't you forget. You bring your own sun."

Your soul.

So I second @Mr Mister. "takes hat off and bows gratefully"

@Mr Mister Maybe that's just you.

@Angelina Souren British thank you. NEVER Brit.

The song is great, I love it, , the video sucks big balls. I don´t know what she was thinking with the visualette thing. This is a fashion show with her favourite clothes walking like a zombie. Some images are beautiful, but in general, it makes no sense.

+Philip Wookey she called herself this a visualette, not me, so inform yourself about what you are talking, and maybe I did not use "big balls" in the perfect context, but I'm sure I am better in english language than you in any other besides your First language. 

"This is a fashion show with her favourite clothes walking like a zombie." You made my day, LOL!

R. Exp. "Better AT English" actually ;) good/bad AT something ... Just for the record ;)

R. Exp. ..

@Philip Wookey It makes absolute perfect sense. But you have to have lived through it to be able to see what it is about.

She would have been 46 in 2009 and by god was she still gorgeous.  I bet she still is lovely now, if I told my mum I had a crush on a woman older than her she'd maybe freak out...

sahes pretty my fav tori song is a sorta kinda fariytale

I'm happy to say that today is really hot and you don't have to bring your own sun.

Bring your own sun, just enough for everyone.  Can anyone else write a timeless lyric like Tori?  I think not.  Stop getting so involved in the video and LISTEN TO THE MUSIC!!!!!

this video certainly sells, to me, the nail polish Tori is wearing as IsObEl.  If dollarama starts to carry that shade, I'll know Tori herself might carry me!!!

Why the terrible American flag? I used to believe that British hate Americans

Oh!! Great thanks for your help and answer

@Marlon Gómez Terrible? What's terrible about the American flag? News flash, pinko, if it weren't for America you wouldn't have the sort of freedom that allows you to make your spurious, facile, and fatuous denunciations on the Internet.

+quememuera LOL. Keep telling yourself that.

+quememuera oh yes, the reason for why I am free to type on my laptop from any other parts of the world is because of America. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

+Marlon Gómez There is also the fact that Tori is American, she has lived here since the 90's, but she is still an American.  A lot of her music is about the differences in culture and being an American in the UK.

I can listen to this 1000 times and get chills every time.

Love Welcome to England

This song is PERFECT! It's so beautiful. Tori has such a way with words. There's just no one like her

awesome funny that she wear an american flag in a about england 

+Shot in Albany, NY She's still an American.  A lot of her songs since she moved here in the early 90's are about cultural differences.

+Rob Fraser She also has a home in Sarasota, Florida. She travels back and forth. As a Floridian living in England myself I would love to do that. Best of both worlds.

... very Smiths Queen is dead-heat Derek Jarman.

Love Tori...

Going to see her July in San Diego!!!

lucky you, i was about to see her this week in prague but she´s playing at same time as nine inch nails who were moved from some other day to this one, crap!

@***** Tak chtěl jsem jít na oboje :)

Dean Hamilton Bradley i envy yoy

Music speaks for itself, Tori is magic.

"Better bring your own sun" Yep. That describes England's miserable dreary weather to a T. 

The weather here in Ireland is even worse. We get the first low pressure fronts from the Atlantic before they move over to Britain. :/

Love the song and Tori! Welcome to Serbia! :)

I remember where I was when this song/video first premiered. :) Love this woman and her Böse!

i was at the prince albert monument yesterday and listening to that song on my ipod. awesooomeee

you want a rasberry swirl :)

More Amosawesomeness! : )

his song is depressing.

Welcome to england

That happens to everyone. It's called "embracing the chaos." It has to happen to everyone.

PRINCIPE MECANICO
Will, Jem y Tessa
Amor no correspondido

Ugh. How many times do we *try* to fit in to the one we love, only to find out later on it just isn't happening? This song always takes me back to the place where I thought I fit in in his life, but realized I was just faking it. :/

Buy "The Beekeeper" ASAP! That was the album my mom raised me on and it is, and forever will be, my absolute favorite!
PS: Can I steal the rest of your Tori albums? lol

this song isn't on the beekeeper

I'll be in England in less than three weeks and playing this song as we land at Heathrow.

fuck off...

Scarlet's Walk is her BEST album, for me!

Hell yeah!

So there are only 3 tori albums missing from my catalogue of her and I just ordered this one. Now only 'Scarlet's walk' and 'The Beekeeper' are missing. Oh yeah and I still need to rebuy 'To Venus and Back'

I've noticed a trend, it seems every single comment section on just about every single Tori Amos music video has turned into some kind of fan fight.

Exactly

u make me better

Oh tori, you're making me missing London...

This is absolutely amazing music! Im not a huge fan of Tori Amos, but this is extraordinary! Amazing song, amazing talent, amazing video :D

omg ur so edgy!11

that's Miss Idiot 4 you smartass....
kids today are stupid,ignorant and sad...if you consider to be one, hail for you;))

Kate Bush was original before Tori ever existed. What idiots, caring so much about a pop singer. No artist is original anymore, and Fori has been an embarrassment to herself for nearly 10 years. Get over it.

Fori has sucked any credibility Tori ever had. She's just as much a "product" as any other singer out there, and has been for nearly 10 years. Idiot.

SO TRUE.

Lady Gaga is a FUCKIN PRODUCT PEOPLE!this is reality....and, oh, yeah....Tori writes, sings,looks and feel....actually makes a bit mor sense than ''rawraw lalala, ula gagaga....'' ...stupid ignorant kids, you dont't know shit 'bout originality.....sad...

Lady Gaga is getting a card from me this Christmas. It's gonna say: FUCK YOU BITCH! Oh, and I can't forget about the skidmarks.

I wish I had been in Kensington Gardens the day that this was filmed.

These comparisons only breed dispute lets celebrate unique artistic expression from tori amos and not mention other artist..lets enjoy HER music and HER page.

Now I'm hungry for fish & chips.

fixedgearforlife and tea!

How dare VEVO play a Rick Ross commercial before Tori Amos. Yuck!

Clockwork Angel...

I never understand why it's nessicary to put down other artists. why can't we all just enjoy tori amos. I love her music and her haunting voice. sometimes I'm in a quiet mellow mood and I want to listen to tori. but if I'm in a different mood I'm not above listening to Rihana or lady gaga or whatever else is out there. you can like tori without being an obnoxius cunty fanboy that bashes every other artist.

You better bring your own sun, sweet girl. . .

EXACTLY!!!...Tori Amos has been around for along time..10 years from now Lady Gaga will be a has been...hell I give it 5 years

yet 6 years since you made the comment... Lady Gaga is at the the height for her popularity and getting all kinds of praise.. how wrong you were.

MephProduction Really? LMAO I don't know anyone who still listens to her.

wait, why are we comparing Tori Amos to Lady Gaga?

Because then she'd literally be like every other patronizing singer out there! Warning: Tori's music will make you very depressed if you listen to it constantly and for years on end. It's just so beautiful, otherworldly and addictive that it moves me more than lighter poppier music ever could

Tori Amos is an artist. Lady Gaga is a gimmick.

TORI, Y U NO HAVE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS?

<3 her otherwise.

And ..her taste was far more relevant and understated than Lady Goo Goos!

I love this song but you'll find that most of England is outside of London xD

Why, in the name of every single deity, are people comparing Tori to Gaga? O_o'

Love this song but the video's more like "Welcome to London"!!!

/watch?v=-QNlqW1yiBA
IF you love tori amos, view this above!

You've got to bring your own sun... (love that lyric)

I always thought this album was underrated.

Fuck You VEVO - from Poland

Tori: Love You!

Isabel is the best part of the video.

@nandi2112
Actually, for your information, Tori has been around way before Lady Gaga came on the scene. You should check out her early work - its fantastic! Got the attention of the young Trent Reznor who did the background vocals on"Past the Mission" on her sophomore album, "Under the Pink."
