Caught a Lite Sneeze

About Caught a Lite Sneeze

"Caught a Lite Sneeze" is a song by Tori Amos, released as the first single from her 1996 album Boys for Pele. It reached number 60 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 20 on the UK Singles Chart and Canada's RPM Top Singles chart. Despite being one of her higher-charting singles, it does not appear on her best-of collection, Tales of a Librarian. The song is about wanting to do anything to keep a relationship going, knowing that it's over. It references Nine Inch Nails's album Pretty Hate Machine in the following lyric: "Caught a lite sneeze / Dreamed a little dream / Made my own pretty hate machine. " In live performances from 1996 and 1998, Amos would frequently insert lines directly from and inspired by "Hurt," another song by Nine Inch Nails. The song holds historical significance as the first ever to be made available as a free internet download. It has been covered by a variety of artists, including by Voltaire on his album Boo Hoo, and Evans Blue on their album The Pursuit Begins When This Portrayal of Life Ends. more »

Caught a lite sneeze caught a lite breeze
Caught a lightweight lightningseed
Boys on my left side
Boys on my right side
Boys in the middle
And you're not here I need a big loan
From the girl zone

Building
Tumbling down
Didn't know our love was so small
Couldn't stand at all
Mr St. John just bring your son

The spire is hot
And my cells can't feed
And you still got that Belle dragging your foots
I'm hiding it well Sister Ernestine
But I still got that Belle
Dragging my foots

Right on time you get closer
And closer
Called my name but there's no way in
Use that fame
Rent your wife and kids today
Maybe she will
Maybe she will caught a lite sneeze
Dreamed a little dream
Made my own pretty hate machine
Boys on my left side
Boys on my right side
Boys in the middle and you're not here
Boys in their dresses
And you're not here
I need a big loan from the girl zone
