Question
QUESTION: I'm trying to find the EXACT lyrics that tori sings on Liquid Diamonds-the live version from manchester apollo (I downloaded from itunes). I can only find the lyrics for LD for the original studio version.

ANSWER: Hi Laura!

I'm not familiar with this particular version. Do you know the date of the show?

In the meantime, she's been known to improv these pieces back in 2003:

"...Do it again and I say it's coming back again
Something like that
On Saturdays such was it
Connie bring me those jeans
Keep it back Daddy's down
Preaching back and to himself
Keep it just between us yes
It's liquid..."


"Where we've been
All the time
All you know
Another night
Another band (I think)
Playing a song or two
In the back room (I think)
Where all our dreams
All our loves
We talk about all night
Sometimes looks like you're tired (I think)
But I know it's almost time to go
Another left
Not much time
To play every note & every rhyme
I know before it goes I feel it's liquid..."

A lot of times during a live performance, we'll hear what sounds like new lyrics or improvs, but it's actually her singing the background vocals from the studio version. She sings all of her own back up and will bring that to the forefront at the live shows. I love that :)

Let me know if you find the date of the show and I can search again for you.

QUESTION: Unfortunately itunes stopped selling that particular album. There were actually about 7 to 8 "bootleg" albums for sale. Now there are only two, and the Manchester show isn't one of them.

I did find the cd for sale at Amazon, but because it is no longer available on itunes the price is inflated. And it doesn't have the tracks listed, just the cd title.

Anyway here are the exact details as they appear when I pull the track up.
Tori Amos-Manchester Apollo, Manchester, U.K. 6/5/05 (live "bootleg" version)

And thanks for the extra lyrics. Anything by Tori, even without the music is powerful.

Answer
Hi Laura!

I STILL cannot find the lyrics to that anywhere. It's unusual too!

This weekend I'm going to dig thru my Tori CD stash. I'm sure I have this bootleg. I'll give it a listen and let you know what I hear. I'm on a mission now ;)

Talk to you soon
