Tori's Whiskers

Sugar and Talula...

Alot of people wonder how we ended up with such weird names... for instance, a black cat named "Sugar"! Well the truth is no one knows how we ended up with these names...but this is our story and we're sticking to it :)

There's this lady, named Tori Amos and she writes the most incredible songs, two of which just happen to be Sugar and Talula... so that's how it happened...we were born and in some fated way someone bestowed us with the names of these great songs...

Here are the songs (music and lyrics by Tori Amos):

Sugar

Talula

don't say morning's come
don't say it's up to me
if I could take 25 minutes
out of the record books.

sugar
he brings me sugar

bobby's collecting bees
and hammers, he used one on me.
cold war with little boys
get in with a bubble gum trade...

and...
sugar, bring me sugar
and all the robins bring,
bring me many things
but...
sugar, oh sugar

he brings me sugar
as far as I can tell
i've been gone for miles now

and you know, and I know
i don't know me very well

and I know, and you know
if they found me out.

sugar
he brings me sugar
and all the robins bring
they bring me many things but...

sugar
he brings me sugar
and all the robins bring
they bring many things but...

sugar
oh, sugar...

sugar
ah, Sugar

sugar..
you...
ah, ha...

Tori Amos

congratulate you
said you had a double tongue
balancing cake and bread
say goodbye to a glitter girl

talula
talula
you don't want to lose her
she must be worth losing
if it is worth something
talula
talula
she's brand new now to you
wrapped in your papoose
your little Fig Newton

say goodbye to the old world
ran into the Henchman who severed
anne boleyn
he did it right quickly a merciful man
she said 1+1 is 2
but Henry said that it was 3
so it was
here I am

talula
talula
i don't want to lose it
it must be worth losing
if it is worth something
talula
talula
she's brand new now to you
wrapped in your papoose
your little Fig Newton

and Jamaica
do you know what I have done
mary M weaving on said
what you want is in the blood Senators
i got Big Bird on the fishing line
with a bit of a shout a bit of a shout
a bit of an angry snout
he's my favourite hooker of the whole bunch
and I know about his only Bride
and how the Russians die on the ice
i got my rape hat on
honey but I always could accessorise
and I never cared too much for the money
but I know right now
that it's in God's hands
but I don't know who the Father is

talula
talula
i don't want to lose him
he must be worth losing
if it is worth something
talula
talula
he's brand new now to you
wrapped in your papoose
your little Fig Newton
