(gorgeous, haunting b-side from Tori...)
Tori: "How do you know about Alamo?"
Girl: "Cause your single was released on Monday"
Tori: "Shit. I've never played that before. Hang on hang on hang on. (Mr Fuzzy goes flying) Shows you how much I care about Mr Fuzzy. OK...Lemme think...lemme think...what key is it in?"
Guy in audience: "E flat"
Tori: "Is it? (plays a few notes from Eb chord on piano) It is NOT in E flat ... hangonhangonhangonhangonhangon...I'll get it..(plays first few notes is slightly the wrong key - one note too high - stops)....I wanna play this. I wanna do it...just be patient and I'll figure it out. (applause) Turn the lights down Simon they're flustering me... OK now I haven't played this since I recorded it and I just kinda wrote it on the spot so my brain has like noodles in it...but...um...how does it go...shhhh...(sings) aah-la-mo...oh yeah...I got it now (begins playing brief intro)...AAAAH..."

Alamo - Tori Amos
alamo
heard all about your fandango
banged on my knees, on your bay door
only to wake you, to blues on the way
blues on the way, blues on the way
embarcadero
figures you'll see me as a older
23 hours till the border
don't think I'll be going as fast as I came
fast as I came, fast as I came,
tears on my pillow
of course they're not mine
alter that altar
make it a plane
somebody invent the telephone line
i'll take mine
my chances
alamo
wish I could do what God does
heard that the stars were in order
god you served out a hand with two queen of spades
and blues on the way
blues on the way
tears on my pillow
of course they're not mine
alter that altar
make him a plane
somebody, just somebody, invent the telephone line
i'll take mine
my chances
