when I come to terms
to terms with this
when I come to terms
with this
when I come to terms
to terms with this
my world will change
for me
I haven�t moved since
the call came
since the call came
I haven�t moved
I stare at the wall
knowing on the other side
the storm that waits for me

then the Seated Woman
with a Parasol
may be the only one
you can�t Betray
if I�m the Seated Woman
with a Parasol
I will be safe
in my frame

I have no need
for a sea view
for a sea view
I have no need
I have my little
pleasures
this wall being one of these

when I come to terms
to terms with this
when I come to terms
with this
when I come to terms
with this whip lash
of Silk on wool embroidery

then the Seated Woman
with a Parasol
may be the only one
you can�t betray
if I�m the Seated Woman
with a Parasol
I will be safe
in my frame
I will be safe
in my frame
in your House
in your frame



I: Men are often described negatively in your stories. Is there no divineness in them?
TORI: I think the man is as divine as the woman. But I can only go from my own perspective and own experiences. The masculine divineness is pretty ok. Like in the song 'Parasol'. Here a woman has to fight for her way of life. And it's not about a war against terrorists, but a war against a friend, a lover, or a colleague. He doesn't want to respect the choices she makes, the evolution she goes through or the freedom she seeks. He wants to attack her on every level and tries to put her down. This is the problem she has to deal with.
