Thank U

Alanis Morissette Thank U Lyrics
1.Thank U(Album Version)

how bout getting off these antibiotics
how bout stopping eating when I'm full up
how bout them transparent dangling carrots
how bout that ever elusive kudo thank you india
thank you terror
thank you disillusionment
thank you frailty
thank you consequence
thank you thank you silence how bout me not blaming you for
everything
how bout me enjoying the moment for once
how bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
how bout grieving it all one at a time thank you india
thank you terror
thank you disillusionment
thank you frailty
thank you consequence
thank you thank you silence the moment I let go of it was the
moment
I got more than I could handle
the moment I jumped off of it
was the moment I touched down how bout no longer being
masochistic
how bout remembering your divinity
how bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
how bout not equating death with stopping thank you india
thank you providence
thank you disillusionment
thank you nothingness
thank you clarity
thank you thank you silence


2.Pollyanna Flower(Unreleased Bonus Track)

(note:the words in brackets are what we think she's saying in
the background)

(through you I see I)
Between a broken nose and a fake smile
Between piety and gunpowder
Between fighting and fleeing the scene
Between murder and diplomacy
Between aggression and ?????
Between brutal and realistically well behaved
Between screaming and pulling in the reins
Between tiptoeing and ambleing

What am I to do with all this fire
(I'd like to hit you but I'd never hit you)
Would you stay with me in this red space
(I'd like to slap you but I'd never slap you)

Chorus
Between violence and silently seething
Between my fist and my pollyanna flower
Between 'fuck you' to your face and it's alright
Between war and denial


Between flying vases and secretly weeping
Between loose cannons and ever downplaying
Between bruises and rudely differing
Between bursting and boiling

What am I to do with all this burning
(I'd like to hurt you but I'd never hurt you)
Do I overwhelm you in this place
(I'd like to kill you but I'd never kill you)


What am I to do with all this fire
Can you understand me in this place?


3.Uninvited(Demo)

like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
like any hotblooded woman
I have simply wanted 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 heartening
to watch shepherd meet shepherd

but you you're not allowed
you're uninvited
an unfortunate slight

like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
you speak of my love like
you have experienced love like mine before

but this is not allowed
you're uninvited
an unfortunate slight

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