ALANIS MORISSETTE lyrics from songs unreleased - all of which seem to reflect a maturity she's attaining in her old age   Can't Not   I'd be lying if I said I was completely unscathed Would I be putting it right with my silence and rage Would I be letting you in; invite a reaction, yeah? And how would I explain How would I explain this to my children if I had them?
Because I can't not Because I can't not Because I can't not win without my losing, my dear
Would it be whining if I said I needed a hug? Would you feel slighted if I said your love's not enough? And how dare I complain? And how dare I complain when you want for a chance for this?
Because I can't not Because I can't not Because I can't help laugh at your delusions
Because I can't not Because I can't not Because I can't help wonder why you ask me
To all the unheard children in the school yard You think you're the right ones You swear you're the charmed ones I'm sure But how can you go on with such conviction? Who do you think you are when you question me?
Because we can't not Because we can't not Because we can't help laugh at your delusions
Because we can't not Because we can't not Because we can't help wonder why you ask us
Why do you offend me? Why do you offend me still? Why do you compare me? Why do you compare me still?
Because I can't not Because I can't not Because I can't not walk without my crutches     Death of Cinderella

I'm wise and ambitious, And angry and free, And smart and available, And sexy...
I'm soft and appealing, And wearing pajamas, And twisted and willing, And crazy...
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella She'd grow to be a maid if she couldn't find a fella Who can use her And it's all you could do not to throw her on the floor.
And thought-provoking, And opinionated Cultured and funny, And experienced...
Fearless and tender, And sweetly innocent, Uninhibited, Likes a good debate.
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella She'd grow to be a maid if she couldn't find a fella Who can use her And it's all you could do not to tie her to the bed.
I could fall in love a million times before I die, You could draw me a bubble bath, We could walk into the sunset...
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella She'd grow to be a maid if she couldn't find a fella Who can use her And it's all you could do not to keep her sober.
And this is the story of the death of Cinderella I'm gonna grow to be a maid and I'll never find a fella Who can use me And that's all you can do not to kick me in the ass.

King of Intimidation  

(Spoken words taken from an old recording: "The women of this family seem to feel that they owe it to the men of the family to look relaxed, rested, and attractive at dinnertime.")

For you they live in a quiet monastery For you they wear whatever you want them to as long as it is short They count to ten when you tell them how to drive And when they're afraid they let you speak for them
All hail the king of intimidation My dad loves your Christian behavior

For you we wax; we skin, chicken our legs For you we chew our nails if we had any buy fake ones to do it We contradict him temporarily And it was somethin' about how you talk down to me
All hail the king of intimidation My dad loves your Christian behavior

The role of compromises for the family you now want some There's only so much we can do to make you rest assured
I am single I am weary You're just jealous You're just confused You're just hungry You're in sin now You're not happy You are petty

All hail the king of intimidation My dad loves your Christian behavior He does not know what he has wrongly done Forgive his ignorant behavior
You are tortured You are captured You are busted We were silent You were tested You did better You are lonely Was it worth it?

No Pressure Over Cappuccino


And you're like a 90's Jesus And you revel in your psychosis How dare you? You sample concepts like hors d'oeurves And you eat their questions for dessert And is it just me or is it hot in here?

And you're like a 90's Kennedy And you're only a million years old. They can't fool you. They'll throw opinions like rocks in riots And they'll stumble around like hypocrites And is it just me or is it dark in here?

You may never be or have a husband You may never be or have a child You will learn to loose everything We are temporary arrangements

And you're like a 90's Noah And they laughed at you when you packed all of your things And they wonder why you're frustrated And they wonder why you're so angry Is it just me or are you fed up?


Uninvited


Like anyone would be, I am flattered by your fascination with me And like any hot-blooded woman, I was simply wanting an object to crave But you, you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight.
Must be strangely exciting to watch the stoic squirm
Must be somewhat hard turning to watch them burn me, shepherd
But you, you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight.
Like any unchartered territory I must be strangely intriguing You speak of my love like you have experience love like mine before This is not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate slight

I don't think you unworthy I need a moment to deliberate
