Caught a Lite Sneeze
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 ride 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
I think this song is definitely related to "Doughnut Song" real close because I believe they are both about thinking that this relationship is working and then all of a sudden realize that it was doomed before you said, "Hello." It's that imagination that eagerness brings on. You think it's gonna be this great love and then you figure out that it was so insignificant to the other person. It's amazing, it's kind of like the saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure."
Here's Tori's description of it:
"Caught A Lite Sneeze is about wanting to do anything to keep a relationship going, knowing that it's over, knowing that it's slipping through the hands."
"Honey, it means no fat, no butter. Lite."
"He was a lite sneeze, and not the flu. Guys would like to think they're the flu, but sometimes they're just a 'h'achoo'"
“Caught a Lite Sneeze specifically has nuns on it. More, more than nuns. Nuns invoking this myth of the female god energy.”
“It’s really about a relationship. And she’s kinda given herself away, so she’s trying to get pieces back in any way she can. I mean, whoever works at that point. And if it’s Inana or whoever. And if it works calling her in the church, to evoke a little ass, then you go for it.” [Boys for Pele press kit video]
“Then we go on to Caught A Lite Sneeze and she’s still vampiring, she needs that boy blood. You can say you are beautiful, you are enough; when are you going to claim it? You are on the hunt. He doesn’t give a fuck about you; he might have cared about some parts of you but this is not about you. He doesn’t want to work this out with you, your neediness is disgusting him, and you sit around going ‘oh no, no, no, I’ve gotta have it. It’s out there, he has something.’ Anything to just keep it going.” [B-Side – May/June 1996]
“I can write from an emotional level - knowing instinctively, the craft of sensing when a melody doesn’t work, In Caught a Lite Sneeze, I wanted to take the whole rhythm because we’re moving (she sways on the couch) we’re trying to get rid of the possession. The track just stops for a minute and it goes, (sings) ‘Right on time,’ and then right on time our rhythm comes back.”<br>
“Just trying to negotiate on any level - ‘Mr. St. John, just bring your son.’ You know you will not gain strength from this path. You know you will not get peace from this path. But you are addicted and on this path. You just know you need energy from an outside source because you don’t know how to access it for yourself. Now, there’s some energy that I did know how to access, and men would be drawn to me for that.” [Musician – May 1996]
“It’s definitely the bad side. It wasn’t the one that won. My point of view was not the side that won in this song. I think where it shows up on the record, and the whole reason Sneeze is where it is is because, well, obviously, it was definitely malaria. It’s one of those things where you know this isn’t good for you. You know that anything any of your friends say to you just doesn’t mean anything. ‘Don’t do this Tori. You’re crazy. Don’t do this. Why are you doing this?’ You just look at them and say, ‘Oh, I know exactly what I’m doing. Don’t worry. Everything’s just fine.” [WXRT Chicago (radio) – Feb 1, 1996]
