Tori Amos - Trouble's Lament Lyrics






Trouble needs a home girls,
trouble needs a home.
She fell out with Satan,
now she’s on the run.
But I have found her quite straightforward
in her contracts and her deals
she warns me when Danger is
loose behind his wheels
and he is loose behind his wheels.
Don’t cry baby...

Trouble got evicted,
from the Devil’s lair.
I wager she got betrayed
by her friend Despair.
Now the flames from Satan’s tongue are charged
and licking at her heels
She whispers “Hey Ginger, Danger’s loose behind his wheels”
And Satan knows how Danger makes you feel.
What will be will be, baby...

You don’t, you don’t need to cry.
There are no tears in my eyes
If Danger wants to find me,
I’ll let him in, he can find me.

Trouble needs a home girls,
a covert abode
from Tucson to Ohio
back through Tobacco road.
And she is armed and will fight for the souls
of girls around the world.
Standing up to Satan,
dancing on st. Michael‘s sword.
I’m on her side, in this brutal war.
Don’t cry baby...

You don’t, you don’t need to cry.
There are no tears in my eyes
If Danger wants to find me,
I’ll let him in, he can find me.

Trouble needs a home girls,
trouble needs a home.
Trouble needs a home girls,
will you give her one.
Trouble needs a home,
trouble needs a home...

    I love this song too much. My all time fav. Still playing today, and sing out loud everyday.

  6. M.... R....

    Tori Amos, there is and will never be a musical artist/story teller who comes close to you!! My favorite male artist was/is David Bowie, and you've been my favorite female artist since I was a young teenage girl. Your stuff then and your new stuff. Just blown away. Your music is like a mirror image of my spirit, heart and soul, everything that I've been, all who I am, all who I will ever be. Somehow it's like you get that. It comes out in your lyrics, in the way that you sing the lyrics, the way you tell a story, you don't just tell your own, I know I'm not the only one who feels this way too!! Thank you!! If you knew what your music brought me through when I was a teenage girl, in the mid to late 90s, and how listening to your music still strikes the deepest chords in me... Just thank you.

    Wow! Thank you, Tori Amos. Thanks for shining your otherwordly brilliance. You captivate me. I recognize myself, in your music and your words. It's like we're family, in that way. Soul sisters, who just have never met. Not yet, anyway!

    "Жалоба беды"

    Беде нужно укрытие, девочки,
    Беде нужно укрытие.
    Она поссорилась с Сатаной
    И теперь в бегах.

    Она слишком честно выполняла
    Свои контракты и договора.
    Она предостерегает меня, что
    За руль села Опасность,
    За руль села Опасность.
    Не плачь, дорогая.

    Беду изгнали
    Из дьявольского логова.
    Держу пари, что ее предал
    Дружок Отчаяние.

    Сатана посылает ей вдогонку языки пламени,
    И они уже настигают ее.
    Она шепчет: «Ей, рыжая,
    Опасность села за руль».
    Сатана знает, что значит иметь дело с Опасностью.
    Чему быть, того не миновать, дорогая.

    Не надо, не надо плакать,
    Мои глаза сухи.
    Если Опасность хочет меня отыскать,
    Пусть попробует!

    Беде нужно укрытие, девочки,
    Тайное убежище
    Где-нибудь между Тусоном и Огайо,
    Около Табачного ряда.

    Она вооружена и будет сражаться за души
    Девушек во всем мире,
    Противостоя Сатане
    И танцуя на мече Архангела Михаила.
    Я на ее стороне в этой жестокой войне.
    Не плачь, дорогая.

    Не надо, не надо плакать,
    Мои глаза сухи.
    Если Опасность хочет меня найти,
    Пусть попробует!

    Беде нужно укрытие, девушки,
    Беде нужно укрытие.
    Беде нужно укрытие, девушки,
    Вы ее приютите?
    Беде нужно укрытие,
    Беде нужно укрытие.

    Love you Tori....and love your amazing musical journey......Keep rolling on with your beautiful self and beautiful creative singular spirit.
    Thank You. Inspiring.

    "Amos won a full scholarship to the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University at the age of five, the youngest person ever to have been admitted"

  11. p.... b....

    72, à part mon année de naissance WOW! Who's the 72 out off nowhere press don't like at this CHEF D'OEUVRE of a perfect....thing!¡!

  12. J.... L....

    oh my god 2:06 tho

  13. L.... ....

    I love the rhythym and sound of the guitars. It reminds me of a cross between Paul Simon & Johnny Cash. A little hippy yet sinister. And the overlay of her voice on the word "baby." CHILLS
    What artist can do that these days?? And don't get me started on her phrasing! No one like her - class of her own since the beginning of her career.

  14. D.... B....

    Wow, Tori!

    Her clarity, her voice here is cleaner, freer than I've noticed in a Long time! Wow!

  15. E.... S....

    Beautiful

  16. E.... Z....

    This song needs to be in the walking dead, who agrees?

    E.... Z....

    nobody cares about the walking dead anymore...

  17. B.... L....

    I am dancing to this song every damn day. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

  18. S.... J....

    THANK GOD/GODDESS FOR FOR THIS ANGEL AMOS

  19. M.... T....

    Sounds like she wants out of her illumati soul selling contract after enjoying all the spoils.

  20. H.... H....

    I love her what do you mean ho cares what you say

  21. M.... F....

    This is my favorite track on UG

  22. s.... ....

    'America' would've made for a better single. Actually several songs could've been singles. This is her best album in over a decade.

    s.... ....

    other albums disagree

  23. c.... f....

    the guitar riff at the beginning sounds like Rock Lobster. Great song though.

  24. W.... B....

    love tori just cant get into this song or the album... the constant "satan" stuff it just feels off and the video...???

  25. S.... J....

    Where does Tori fall in the Pantheon of the greatest song writers

  26. S.... J....

    A well crafted song. One of her best

  27. M.... M....

    good I like her, so she have more songs except crucify?

    M.... M....

    Um: yeah, like a billion.

    M.... M....

    Regina Clarke-Katzenberg haha right?

  28. M.... ....

    ah if only Tori was young again with her beautiful shaggy red locks and those delicious full lips..

    M.... ....

    what an idiot. she is: and you're prolly a fat bellied slob.

    M.... ....

    what does prolly mean? and she is what? you sound like a moron

    M.... ....

    MrAfronaut she is still beautiful!

  29. j.... w....

    she is just brilliant. this video is work of art

  30. f.... ....

    I feel like Tori wasted this record a bit... she could have made more videos, some of the songs are just marvellous and I think it's one of her strongest in nearly a decade. I liked Night Of Hunters (though I think that Tori could have focused more on herself, I am a bit conflicted about Tash and the other girl on that record), American Doll Posse had it's powerful moments, but Unrepentant Geraldines is the Tori we all love. As I listen to songs like America, 16 Shades Of Blue or Unrepentant Gerladines, I can picture the accompanying vids in my head.

    f.... ....

    My little dream was to see a really cool video for the song unrepentant greediness itself to wedding day

    f.... ....

    I feel bad for saying this because I'm mostly a casual Tori Amos fan. I prefer her more alt-rock oriented albums, Choirgirl Hotel being my favorite. I like Geraldines but I feel it lacks a punch. Altho I understand most of her fans prefer the melody baroque stuff. I just can't bring myself to sit down and listen to her classical albums all the way through.

    f.... ....

    Exactly. Its actually my fav Tori album after Boys from Pele.

    f.... ....

    Am I the only one that does not care for music videos??

    f.... ....

    @featmyself huh.. on avarage she does Two videos for an album, SLG, Midwinter and Gold Dust only had the one because were weren't 'proper albums' and Hunters had three videos. There's no such thing as "a real music video"

  31. A.... B....

    love you tori!!! <3

  32. A.... B....

    love you tori!!! <3

  33. F.... ....

    Good song, kinda sounds like PJ Harvey...

  34. E.... S....

    this helped me in my trouble days

  35. A.... N....

    This is beautiful.

  36. M.... ....

    Happy Birthday, Tori!

  37. T.... L....

    "I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY, LOVE MRS. TORI AMOS; "MY ONE AND ONLY; AND IF TORI AMOS APPROACHED ME; WHILE I WAS SITTING IN A DINNER; I WOULD, PROBLEY SCREAM AND OR PASS OUT FROM SHOCK". "I WOULDN'T CARE; IF TORI AMOS, SHOOK ME AWAKE; AS LONG AS IT WORKS, HA HE!!!!!!!!!!!!" "LOVE YOU TORI, 😍😘*-:-) :-) :-D :-o ;-)

  38. R.... H....

    Wow this song is really great!! I think her latest albums bombed...really badly. I'll give her a second chance though!!

  39. d.... d....

    tori is back.(full stop)

    d.... d....

    where did she go?

  40. p.... ....

    I came here too see what bobs burgers was making fun of. Lol i get it. Hipster music at it's purest hipster level.

  41. K.... A....

    The same voice of years ago! Tori is amazing ♥'

  42. S.... O....

    Great video! If anyone has a moment, please check out the Tori covers on my channel. Thank ya!

  43. B.... R....

    This looks better in the Vatican, they fuck with my time here. I fuck their time too. We're the news really. 

    B.... R....

    Vedas and Bibles. 

  44. J.... G....

    I love the NC license plate stickers at 0:09 !

  45. S.... ....

    I love this song ! It reminds me of her older songs ! :)

  46. s.... a....

    How can you not get this video!? Is amazing.. It's about assholes and how to avoid them!!

  47. C.... M....

    Great song Clever video

  48. Y.... ....

    Boring song 

  49. D.... D....

    Nice song, not so keen on this rather conventional video though - back in the 90s many of her videos were quite brilliant.

    D.... D....

    @***** Yeah, I forgot about those - the latter was particularly bad. So better than those then.

  50. J.... I....

    Sitll a good song, very bad video - and I am - or I was - a Tori's fan   :(

  51. J.... S....

    manco82, we're you watching? Were you watching and listening to the song at the same time? There are several different dynamics going on here. Mainly escaping/being evicted the the "devil" and sticking up for the ones you look after. Tori repeatedly insinuates that if the adversar(ies) want trouble, then they can go through her first. Her giving the girls their passports at the end has a significance in my mind

  52. M.... ....

    Tori's such a badass. This is one of the coolest clips I've seen in a long time. My favourite track off the new album.

  53. l.... F....

    this is fantastic..so entertaining.  you are the best entertainer I've ever ran across!   big hugs to you my lady!  you rock!

  54. K.... B....

    Love the twist at the end about how Trouble fights for the souls of girls around the world. Yes, let's be Trouble Makers, trouble the waters (healing metaphor) for the troubled so that they have allies! "Trouble" is not the worst thing to be, and those who are called Trouble may actually be survivors. Trouble and Satan are not allied -- absolutely not!  Trouble shakes up the status quo and brings positive change. One interpretation...thank you Tori Amos! This song found its way into a sermon in a church in NY last Sunday.

  55. K.... B....

    Brilliant!

  56. I.... ....

    "and satan knows how danger makes you feel..."   ugh, classic tori.  from what i have heard of it so far, i love this album.

  57. G.... ....

    All south from here.

  58. G.... ....

    He wood, she wood, .........Hollywood

  59. R.... D....

    I miss the edge on her voice and music... I know her messages are still there but I miss the edge... and I miss her natural fluidity... she seems to be always in a pose now or something...

  60. k.... ....

    I don't think I'll ever understand how people say Olivia Lufkin sounds like her. They're both great but they don't sound alike to me!! Maybe I just haven't gotten into tori Amos's music enough...

  61. J.... S....

    Tori is so smart because she knows "loose behind his" wheels sounds a lot like "lesbian". That is one of the many reasons this album reminds me of Pele so much, she got back into her silly witty things

    J.... S....

    YEAAAH!
    I thought I was the only one to hear that!!!
    Thank you!
    She is a fantastic, clever witch!
    Love Her!

  62. J.... S....

    WHAT A COOL VIDEO!! Tori has still got it. I love the whole deal, the interviews, the looks, the tour, the album, the merch, and this video!!

    J.... S....

    Totally agree!
    Have always loved Tori and now I LOVE U TOO! 😁❤❤❤

  63. J.... S....

    I can't answer that ridiculously bigoted question. However the man in the video, playing the "letch" has acted in both straight and gay porn. In both he acts like "don't touch me!" It's kinda weird

  64. R.... d....

    So who is considered as Satan in the video? Hmmm

  65. h.... ....

    I had two tickets to her concert tonight, in KC. I couldn't find a date though. The seats were about fifteen rows back, dead center. I'm disappointed that I missed it.

    h.... ....

    You didn't go just because you could find someone? Why not go alone and sell the other ticket??

    h.... ....

    @stepmothercity yeah, sounds fishy to me. My comment would have been more like "hey, this isn't OK cupid here, buddy"

    h.... ....

    @George Haart how is it fishy? It was a past tense comment. I wasn't looking for a date. I was bummed that I missed the concert.

    h.... ....

    @hakkujin I guess people are confused as to why you wouldn't go to a concert because someone didn't go with you. I went to the Chicago concert by myself, my first time seeing Tori!

  66. m.... ....

    Any point of this video? Other than for Tori to show off her new lip gloss and hipster glasses? I remember when she used to make challenging videos(Past the Mission).

    m.... ....

    Couldn't care less about videos, I like music. Her earlier videos were very interesting but, whatever. She's a very gifted musician.

    m.... ....

    I'm
    Sure she'll take your irrelevant opinion into account on the next...oh wait we've already had promise so she clearly DOESNT GIVE A SHIT WHAT U THINK

    m.... ....

    People change! Its normal! The industry change! I love Past The Mission , but she is a hipster Mom now! Im ok with that!

    m.... ....

    God help us: boy babies, you're working with inferior neurons. Let the girls answer; save yourself embarrassment.

    m.... ....

    i don't think she directs theses videos.

  67. J.... S....

    Yay! Awesome vid; I expect no less from Tori

  68. S.... ....

    Orange is the new black? Sure. But 50 is the REAL new black!

  69. J.... c....

    Bravo Momma you still got it!

  70. J.... S....

    Is the women in black with all the books and such, also in Cowboy Junkies video for Angel mine?

  71. E.... F....

    I think this is her best song yet it pretty much sums up who Tori Amos is

  72. H.... B....

    I could listen to that bass line forever.
    This is a triumph of a video.
    Didn't see the Oceans 11 thing coming.
    ^5's all around.

  73. A.... T....

    Brilliant video, Tori!!

  74. J.... K....

    Its just a music video people...chill. i like it!  Tori looks and sounds great like always!

  75. j.... ....

    Only 52,000 views? Come on girls of the world. Fuckinbitches pay attention to tori

  76. K.... S....

    I LOVE TORI! IM SO SO SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS NEW VIDEO :D

  77. Y.... -....

    classic tori i just love this video....more views please

  78. W.... ....

    I <3 you Tori forever!

  79. B.... ....

    I love this song!

  80. v.... d....

    nice new track!!

  81. K.... K....

    Life is full of reluctance and denial.  The song to me encapsulates embracing what you believe in, whether it fits the "mainstream mold" or not.  You are beautiful, Tori...

  82. A.... H....

    A decent video after.. 13 years of bad video stuff. Thumbs up Tori.

  83. a.... ....

    this song needs to be the theme to some edgy HBO show

  84. B.... F....

    The shoes at 00:12 are just SICK!! Nice T, very nice!!

  85. V.... M....

    This video would have been more interesting had she made it literal to the lyrics, like a Tarantino film.

  86. j.... ....

    How can this have such low views???? its a crime we live on a planet full of idiots!!!!

  87. A.... G....

    I love you Tori!  always have

  88. B.... R....

    You mean to tell me I waited all this time and it's a stupid spy video?

  89. m.... c....

    Felicitaciones eduardo! Talento venezolano ..

  90. m.... c....

    Felicitaciones eduardo! Talento venezolano ..

  91. P.... W....

    Her best music video since A Sorta Fairytale. (Finally, praise satan) 

  92. M.... L....

    I'm in Tori heaven x

  93. K.... B....

    The song and music video should become a movie. Great song great theme

  94. f.... ....

    spine-chilling hence the lyrics

  95. E.... C....

    COUNTRY? :D

  96. m.... ....

    red lipstick on her mug bothers me every time i watch this vid

  97. T.... D....

    Blogged here: http://www.drunkenwerewolf.com/blog/tori-amos-unveils-troubles-lament-video/

  98. T.... H....

    I wish i could understand the videos story line better but visually and how it was shot and edited, this is one of her best videos.

  99. b.... ....

    fuck, i LOVE this!
    ahh T.   so good.
