Tori tells an interesting story complete with singing bits of a religious song, Jesus My Saviour, live in-concert during the Pink Tour in Berlin, Germany on April 9, 1994 and in Milan, Italy on April 18, 1994. This track is available on the Purple Rose bootleg.
(Berlin, Germany 04/09/94--)
(spoken) it's very interesting playing in a church for me. i used to come down right here and kneel. and my father would -- he's a minister, my dad. so i grew up in these things all the time. and i always wanted to play like my songs instead of like..
(sings) oh jesus, my saviour, my god...
(spoken) because we ah, all know that jesus is at a nirvana concert right now. the thing about it is, i would come here and kneel down. my dad would put this stale little wafer on my mouth for communtion and he'd go, "tori ellen, this is gonna give you great comfort." and i'd say, "i don't know dad. i'd kinda like to be with jim morrison right now, that would give me alot of comfort." and he said, "in the study". uhh, my dad and i had alot of arguments about things. like um, he wanted me to uhh be a virgin until i got married. well i'm still not married, folks. the thing about it is...you know girls how it gets you start growing things. and hey, everything little bit counts, guys. you know you're going "wow this is really cool" a little bit here a little bit there. and you know you're 10 years old and you've got Robert Plant on the stereo going:
(sings) ah-haaa, ah-haaa, ah-haaa....
(spoken) and you know they're downstairs going
(sings) jesus, my saviour, my god...
(spoken) and you're back in your room, and you know listening..
(sings) ah-haaa, ah-haaa, ah-haaa....
(spoken) and then your hands you know girls how it is sometimes your hands just kinda ... well y'know!
(crowd laughs)
(spoken) so anyway, i didnt' know what it was called or what i was doing or if anyone else knew about this thing. so i asked this girl, at church, what this was. she told my dad! my dad said, "tori ellen, now..." he'd say "now i'm so ashamed." and i'd say:
(sings) ah-haaa, ah-haaa....
(spoken) this is my prayer (begins playing Icicle)
(Milan, Italy 04/18/94--)
(spoken) so. come on, girls! what were we thinking about when we were 10 years old... come on, girls! i don't know what you boys thought we were thinking about. but come on, cough up! you'd put on robert plant, right?
(sings) ah-haaa, ah-haaa, ah-haaa....
(spoken) my dad's a preacher, right. he's downstairs with my grandmother who's also a preacher. and they're going:
(sings) jesus, my saviour, my god...
(spoken) all the girls hearing:
(sings) ah-haaa, ah-haaa, ah-haaa....
(spoken) and what happens girls? we're just like doing stuff..you know how we do stuff. you know we're like pretending we're birds or something with our hands and all of a sudden hmmm.. and you know what you start thinking seriously really seriously about taking of whose body. i don't know if i wanna take of His body anymore cuz i'm busy taking of mine. and that was my prayer and that's what got me a spanking from my father when i was 10 years old.
