One of the many reasons I am certain this and some other anti-moral songs of Tori Amos's are not strictly autobiographical is that she doesn't worry about getting the autobiographical details straight. The daughter of the Reverend Doctor Edison Amos wouldn't refer to her priest and her father as two different persons if she was writing of her own experience.
Further, when the daughter of Reverend Doctor Edison Amos says, "here I stand", you can be sure she fully understands what she is echoing. This is personal moral stand against the kind of morality the modern world offers us and on this I am with her all the way. I can do no other.
