Tori Amos - Operator (Auditorium Theatre, 15/04/05) (Live) lyrics
[Tori Amos - Operator Auditorium Theatre, 15/04/05 Live lyrics]
"So, here we go so a little martini
Glasses up hold on this is Duncan's
Speciality this is my ginger drink it doesn't
Have any martini things in it
But, I like it so there you go excuse me
While I chew heaven love you back this is
Heaven in a cup so that means
It's piano bar time and do
You know what these Chicago people
Have done for me? Nobody's
Done this yet they got me a tip jar! So, um
The
Crazy thing is I was going to bring it up
And Natashya came
In the back seat and said 'Money! Mine!'
I said 'No, no, no no, no
No college fund' But she took off with it
So I will rescue it for the
Texans let's see what they'll
Put in my tip jar maybe
A bible, ha! So, song, um -
For some reason it reminds me of here
And I don't
Know why - but I love this song and, um
My brother used
To sing this to me on the guitar poor thing
He- he- he was tone deaf, but he
Was a fantastic guitar player
And he would pick it out and
Think some will remember this"
Operator
Oh, could you help me place this call?
You see the number on the
Matchbook is old and faded
She's living in L a
With my best old ex-friend Ray
The kind you know you
Loved and sometimes hated
Isn't that the way they say it goes?
Oh, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell him I'm fine
And to show I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
Only wish my words could just convince myself
That it wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels
No, no, yeah, not this time
Operator
Oh, could you help me place this call?
I can't read the number that you just gave me
There's something in my eye
You know it happens every time
I think about the love that
I thought would save me
Isn't that the way they say it goes?
Oh, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell him I'm fine
And to show I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
Only wish my words could just convince myself
But that's not the way it feels
Operator let's just forget about this call
There's no one there I really
Wanted to talk to thank you for your time
You've been so much more than kind
You can keep the extra dime
Isn't that the way they say it goes?
Let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell him I'm fine
And to show I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
Only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
That's not the way it feels no, no
That's not the way it feels
