ALANIS MORISSETTE - UNINVITED
Like Anyone Would Be
I Am Flattered By Your Fascination With Me
Like Any Hot-Blooded Woman
I Have Simply Wanted An Object To Crave
But You, You're Not Allowed
You're Uninvited
An Unfortunate Slight
Must Be Strangely Exciting
To Watch The Stoic Squirm
Must Be Somewhat Heartening
To Watch Shepher Meet Shepherd
But You You're Not Allowed
You're Uninvited
An Unfortunate Slight
Like Any Unchartered Territory
I Must Seem Greatly Intriguing
You Speak Of My Love Like
You Have Experienced Love Like Mine Before
But This Is Not Allowed
You're Uninvited
An Unfortunate Slight
I Don't Think You Unworthy
I Need A Moment To Deliberate
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Alanis Morissette
Producer(s): Alanis Morissette, Rob Cavallo
This Was The First Song Alanis Released Since Her 1995 Album Jagged Little Pill, Which Sold Over 16 Million Copies. The Wait Created A Lot Of Anticipation For This Song, Which Was Leaked To Radio Stations A Few Weeks Before It Was Officially Released.
This Was Featured In The 1998 Movie City Of Angels, Starring Nicolas Cage As An Angel Who Falls In Love With A Mortal Woman, Played By Meg Ryan. Morissette Saw A Rough Cut Of The Film And Went Back To The Studio And Wrote The Haunting, Piano-Driven Ballad, Which She Calls A "Fear Of Love Song."
In A Featurette About The Making Of The Film, She Explains: "I Was Going Through Certain Thing Of My Own At The Time And It Just Sort Of Coincided At The Same Time That I Could Write It About Myself And It Could Be Something That Meg's Character Could Be Communicating Throughout."
In 1999, This Won Grammys For Best Rock Song And Best Female Rock Vocal. Morissette Won Four Grammys In 1996 For Jagged Little Pill. It Also Earned A Golden Globe Nomination For Best Original Song - Motion Picture, But Lost To "The Prayer," Performed By Celine Dion And Andrea Bocelli For The Animated Film Quest For Camelot.
In 2007 The English Dance Production Team The Freemasons Recorded A Remix Of This Using The Original Vocal Line. However Licensing Issues Got In The Way And They Were Forced To Bring In Singer Bailey Tzuke To Perform The Vocals. .
