Song lyrics
Nothing unusual, nothing strange
Close to nothing at all
The same old scenario, the same old rain
And there's no explosions here
Then something unusual, something strange
Comes from nothing at all
I saw a spaceship fly by your window
Did you see it disappear?

Amie come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
And tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings a change for you and me

Nothing unusual, nothing's changed
Just a little older that's all
You know when you've found it,
There's something I've learned
'Cause you feel it when they take it away
Something unusual, something strange
Comes from nothing at all
But I'm not a miracle and you're not a saint
Just another soldier on a road to nowhere

Amie come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
And tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings a change for you and me

And Amie come sit on my wall
And read me the story of all
And tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings a change for you and me

i believe that he's saying "read me the story of old," not "the story of o"... if you listen carefully you may hear what i'm saying.[lyrics=]

I'm still trying to figure out why it's "the story of O" he wants to be read.

A strange book about a model turned into an SM slave. Emphasises the fact of how women are used as "bjects" and "Orifices" hence "the story of O(llie)".

Maybe the album title's got some significance?

In my opinion, the best song in this album, though 'The Blower's Daughter', 'Cheers Darling' and 'Delicate' are also wonderful!

I'm not sure about this song. So far I find myself changing tracks as soon as it comes up, but I have changed in the past when it comes to this sort of thing and I might again. It doesn't stick out from the start, though. A bit too... whiney, almost.

I just love the mixture of emotions that this song inspires, I listen to it and I'm torn between smiling at the lyrics and crying at the melody. I love it. In my opinion the best song on 'O'.

One of the best songs on "O", along with "Cannonball" and "Volcano". The lyrics are really amazing...so is the cello and guitar used in this song.
