Amos, Tori - Yes, Anastasia Lyrics






I know what you want the magpies have come
If you know me so well then tell me which hand I use
Make them go
Make it go

Saw her there in a restaurant
Poppy don't go
I know your mother is a good one
But Poppy don't go
I'll take you home

Show me the things I've been missing
Show me the ways I forgot to be speaking
Show me the ways to get back to the Garden
Show me the ways to get around the get around
Show me the ways to button up buttons
That have forgotten they're buttons
Well we can't have that forgetting that

Girls girls what have we done to ourselves
Driving on the vine over clothes lines
But Officer I saw the sign
Thought I'd been through this in 1919
Counting the tears of ten thousand men
And gathered them all but my feet are slipping
There's something we left on the windowsill
There's something we left yes

We'll see how brave you are
We'll see how fast you'll be running
We'll see how brave you are
Yes, Anastasia
And all your dollies have friends

Thought she deserved no less than she'd give
Well happy birthday her blood's on my hands
It's kind of a shame 'cause I did like that dress
It's funny the things that you find in the rain
The things that you find in the mall and in the date mines
In the knot still in her hair
On the bus I'm on my way down
On my way down
All the girls seem to be there

We'll see how brave you are
Oh yes, we'll see how fast you'll be running
We'll see how brave you are
We'll see
We'll see how brave you are
Oh yes, we'll see how fast you'll be running
We'll see how brave you are
Yes, Anastasia

Come along now little darlin'
Come along now with me
Come along now little darlin'
We'll see how brave you are

    1919, The tears of ten thousand men. Anastasia, the daughter of the Romanov's. Tori Amos states her blood is on my hands while pondering that she did like that dress.

    D.... ....

    or possibly she had just endured a miscarriage and literally had her own daughters blood on her hands....

    D.... ....

    This is j / that Cajun wednesday

    D.... ....

    Or maybe, she's referring to a past life.

  13. m.... ....

    La amo con mi alma . Adiós

    m.... ....

    Igual yo! Quizas se escuche raro que lo diga pero es primera vez que veo a un fan de ella hablar espanol. Y perdona la ignorancia pero me pregunto en que paises latinoamericanos la conoceran, porque a penas me hice fan de ella hace 1 ano cuando un maestro en la universidad me introdujo a su musica.

  14. s.... ....

    "If you know me so well then tell me which hand I use"

    She captured that part of Anastasia x Anna Anderson issue so well.

  15. J.... H....

    "Amos says that the lyrics “We’ll see how brave you are” means so many different things to her; it is a part of her self saying “If you really want a challenge, just deal with yourself.”"
