Tori Amos - Hereinmyhead.com

she needs to sleep like the ocean
she needs to dream
that boy down in Streatham don't know where he's about
but i'm sure he knows one-armed sports
i need to be in this body
i need to breathe
i need know
need but one
and it's gonna be here like it never was
like it never was
he's got pearls on his fingers
little doe eyes
making ringers ring off the phone
tell her you know
what she's been thinking
cause i need only one
only one sugar plum, i said
you are gonna see
i'm ready to be
just with the one
with the blue, blue notions emotions

Tori performed this improv during the Modern Rock Live Interview on January 4, 1996. For Mark refers to her sound engineer and now husband, Mark Hawley. This track can be found on the Blood Roses, Unplugged in New York '96 and Wild Horses bootlegs.

"Like any two people trying to create a life together, they found that compromise was called for. At the time of their epiphany, Amos was living in funky, fashionable Notting Hill. Hawley was south of the river. 'So I upped and moved to Streatham [endearingly, she invests the place name with a kind of holy import] and did my best to make things work. I would shop at Sainsbury's and then come home and try cooking. I would watch the telly and we would go for walks, spend time with his friends. But...' She trails off, as you knew she would. Somehow, Tori in Streatham was just never going to work." -- Tori; UK "Times" Magazine, 9/22/01
