Tori Amos - Unrepentant Geraldines Lyrics






Matthew, Mark, John, and Luke
(this is the day of reckoning)
mamma looks to you for truth
(with the heart of St. Catherine)
no need to apologize
(for the gypsy madonna)
truth is not always kind
(jesus hosanna)
Peter and Paul they did condemn
(this is the day of reckoning)
women like the Magdalene
(she you said the savior loved best)
now you ask me if I agree
(our patron St. Cecilia)
with the unrepentant geraldines
(jesus hosanna)

chapel of birds
we sing our song revise the word
will you pray
pray for me unrepentant geraldines?

I'm gonna free myself from your opinion
I'm gonna heal myself from your religion
I'm gonna free myself from your aggression
I'm gonna heal myself from your religion

Our Father of Corporate Greed (this is the day of reckoning)
you absolve corporate thieves (they will give the Judas kiss)
as our governments relent (guess who gets them elected)
and turn a blind eye to your sin (jesus hosanna)

chapel of birds
we sing our song revise the word
will you pray
pray for me unrepentant geraldines?

I'm gonna free myself from your opinion
I'm gonna heal myself from your religion
I'm gonna free myself from your aggression
I'm gonna heal myself from your religion

If you find the Vicar's wife
running through the rain
on her way from St. James
To Mary's in the field

You'll find she plays guitar
Sometimes with her band
But she plays the bass like a Messiah

If you find the Vicar's wife
staring out to sea
Praying for one more soul
We lose one every week
There she will light a flame
Asking why they've gone
What are we not giving
Giving to the young?

You'll find she plays guitar
Sometimes with her band
But she plays the bass like a Messiah

If you find the Vicar's wife
running through the rain
on her way from St. James
To Mary's in the field
On her way from St. James
to Mary's in
Mary's in
in the field

    I love this song but I died when I saw you literally had her sitting by a stream lmao

  2. E.... C....

    i like your interpretation with the photographs. They tell an interesting story.

  3. T.... ....

    The photo at 2:25 (roughly), with the girl smoking a cig, is by Mary Ellen Mark, not Diane Arbus.

    Tori the Best!

    I haven't gone a day since 1.20.17 without listening to this song

    Oh boy. Does this feel prescient today. One part of America not paying attention to the existence of another.

  8. J.... A....

    The other America
    Might show up on Tuesday
    At your kitchen door
    She will ask politely
    "Is anybody home?♪ Oh, president Trump, be nice, please.

  9. M.... L....

    America, Oysters, Forest of Glass are my favorites from Unrepentant.

  10. R.... H....

    wow!!! now this is the tori I fell in love with 10 years ago. I am impressed with this album.

  11. B.... C....

    Dang this one heck of a song.

  12. w.... ....

    This reminds me of her song Virginia from Scarlet's Walk. To me it's a metaphor of when America was owned by Native Americans.

    w.... ....

    +winogirlll This is a song about Americans sleeping through the present. Sleeping while the country edges closer to fascism. The other America is polite, not illegally invading countries. The other America is educating herself, not being brainwashed by propaganda and conspiracy theories. The other America isn't afraid, of modernity, Muslims, gays, people of color etc. The other America isn't afraid of opening her door to the world and being a part of the international community. The current America wants to close off her borders and pretend she doesn't need any other countries. The current America has forgotten who she is. The current America is sleeping walking through her present (now) and forgetting her past. The other America will be there, waiting to be re-discovered when Americans wake up.

    w.... ....

    That was my interpretation of this song also. She is an amazing songwriter.

    w.... ....

    winogirlll it's incredibly perfect for the now
