    Reading Kristen's thread and not wanting to hijack it, made me think about the first time I heard this Tori Amos song. Tori and her record company founded RAINN(Rape,Abuse&IncestNationalNetwork)back in 1994-I believe Calvin Klein helped bail them out financially. It operates 24/7 at 1-800-656-HOPE. Thank you Tori. I had a radio station I listen to play this today-dedicated to waiting, TW, and others like us.

    Me And A Gun


    5am friday morning thursday night far from sleep
    I'm still up and driving can't go home obviously
    So I'll just change direction cause they'll soon know where I live
    And I wanna live
    Got a full tank and some chips

    It was me and a gun and a man on my back
    And I sang "holy holy" as he buttoned down his pants

    You can laugh
    Its kind of funny
    Things you think
    Times like these
    Like I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

    Yes I wore a slinky red thing
    Does that mean I should spread for you, your friends
    Your father, Mr Ed
    It was me and a gun and a man on my back
    But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

    And I know what this means
    Me and Jesus a few years back used to hang
    And he said "it's your choice babe just remember
    I don't think you'll be back in 3 days time so you choose well"
    Tell me whats right
    Is it my right to be on my stomach of Fred's Seville

    It was me and a gun and a man on my back
    But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

    And do you know Carolina
    Where the biscuits are soft and sweet
    These things go through your head when there's a man on your back
    And you're pushed flat on your stomach it's not a classic caddilac

    It was me and a gun and a man on my back
    But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
    I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

    On December 1, 2002, I was able to tell Tori thank you. I met her at a meet and greet before her concert, and I told her what an inspiration she is. Her music has helped me survive, and has helped me heal my wounds.

    Hi Adrienne, I'd forgotten about posting Me And A Gun over a year ago but not about what Tori has meant to me. I'd never have come this far without her music or RAINN. I'm glad you had the opportunity to meet her. I'd like to express my gratitude to her in person someday too.

    Cheers,

    Seven
