Tori Amos原名Ellen Amos，1964年出生在美国北卡罗来纳州，后移居马里兰。从13岁到21岁，AMOS在酒吧中弹了8年钢琴。8年后，她把自己的名字改为Tori Amos，并来到大地市洛杉矾追寻自己的理想－－“成为一个摇滚歌手”，她父亲这样说，“她从11岁起就一直嚷着要成为一个摇滚歌手、
1991年，整个乐坛都在注视着Tori Amos，这位来自北卡罗莱纳的姑娘身材娇小，一头红发是她的重要标志，眉眼长得不算漂亮，但轮廓颇有性格，倔强中透出几分狡黠。爱用高亢的假嗓演唱，爱用钢琴伴奏，乐风清丽飘逸。你能很容易在Tori Amos的作品中找到Kate Bush，甚至Joni Mitchell的影响的痕迹。、
她与Bjork、P J Harvey被公认为是90年代最具代表性的3位另类音乐创作女歌手。Tori Amos是近几年活跃于另类摇滚乐坛著名的女歌手之一。Tori Amos的音乐显得更为成熟和自然，同时也不失其桀骜的个性与深刻的内涵。

Excuse me but can I be you for a while
My DOG won't bite if you sit real still
I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again
Yeah I can hear that
Been saved again by the garbage truck
I got something to say you know but NOTHING comes
Yes I know what you think of me you never shut up
Yeah I can hear that
But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been
HERE silent all these years
So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts
What's so amazing about really deep thoughts
Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
How's that thought for you
My scream got lost in a paper cup
You think there's a heaven where some screams have gone
I got 25 bucks and a cracker do you think it's enough
To get us there
But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been
HERE silent all these
Years go by will I still be waiting
For somebody else to understand
Years go by if I'm stripped of my beauty
And the orange clouds raining in my head
Years go by will I choke on my tears
Till finally there is nothing left
One more casualty
You know we're to EASY easy easy
Well I love the way we communicate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Let's hear what you think of me now but baby don't look up
The sky is falling
Your MOTHER shows up in a nasty dress
It's your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody lookin' at you here take hold of my hand
Yeah I can hear them
But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice
I hear my voice
I hear my voice
And it's been HERE silent all these years
I've been here silent all these years
Silent all these
Silent all these years
