God, I love to turn my little blue world upside down
God, I love to turn my little blue world upside down
Inside my head the noise, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
You see I'm afraid I'll always be still coming out of my mother upside down
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down
Oh, I know you love to turn this little blue girl, baby, upside down
But my heart it says you've been shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter, shattered
And I know you're still a boy, still coming out of your mother
But when you going to stand on your own
I say the world is sick
You say tell me what makes us, darling?
You see you always find my faults
Faster than you find you're own
You say the world is getting rid of her demons
I say, baby, what have you been smoking?
Well, I dreamed, I dreamed, I dreamed I loved a black boy
My daddy would scream
Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down
Any kind of touch I think is better than none even upside down
But you see I'm tangled up, got a kitten, kitten, kitten, kitten in my hair
Cincinnati, I like the word, it's the only thing we can't seem to turn upside down
Well, I found the secret to life
I found the secret to life
I'm okay when everything is not okay
I said I found the secret to life
I found the secret to life
I'm okay when everything is not okay, is not okay
Don't we love to turn our little blue world upside down
I said don't we love to turn our little blue world baby upside down
Inside my head a voice, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
And it says, girl, you're all the same, still coming out of your mothers
Still coming out of your mothers upside down
| ch83575 | Posted: Apr 16, 2013 - 19:04 I love Tori, but Chopin is a tough act to follow. |
| Zojila | Posted: Jan 12, 2013 - 14:58 Tori still kicks ass! |
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Oct 10, 2012 - 12:36 What's in her head? Chatter? Or cheddar? Boring. EMO, or whatever it should be called. |

| hschlossberg (Los Angeles) | Posted: Aug 08, 2012 - 12:04 I like Tori but am not a fan of this song. But I am continually impressed by Bill's talent in putting themed sets together. In this case, Tori's nice piano follows a beautiful piano piece by Chopin. Brilliant. |
| hippiechick (topsy turvy land) | Posted: Aug 08, 2012 - 12:03 Always love to hear Tori! |

| chiplueck | Posted: Aug 26, 2011 - 07:56 The segue from Chopin's Nocturne No. 1 into this song gave me goosebumps. |

| snowcat (Cold, Frozen Minnesota) | Posted: Jan 04, 2009 - 07:22 Love the bass and piano combination. |
| moonchildsce (Somewhere in Texas) | Posted: Dec 03, 2008 - 17:27 Wow, that was really bad. Her 3rd album was the cut-off for me. |
| westslope (BC coast) | Posted: Dec 03, 2008 - 17:25 Tinkly and precious. Hmm. |
| Daveinbawlmer (Bawlmer, Merlin. Hon.) | Posted: Oct 31, 2008 - 20:31 Tori and I are complicated. Her piano is fantastic and lots of times her songwriting is very good as well, but her delivery is just too tinkly and precious. |
| Leslie (Antioch, CA) | Posted: Oct 01, 2008 - 15:27 Nice! Love the piano, as always. |
| queenjill (banana stand) | Posted: Jul 30, 2008 - 10:23 It bothers me that her voice sounds so forced.  |
| rrmusicguy (Rocky River (Cleveland), Ohio) | Posted: Jul 30, 2008 - 10:19 Blech. Ick. Poopy. Make the pain stop!!! The bloated, self-important, non-melodic pain!!! |
| exeter | Posted: Jul 30, 2008 - 10:17 Yay! Tori! |
| jwb | Posted: Jun 28, 2008 - 21:37 Half of the good Tori Amos songs are on singles and EPs. I rate this song among her best work. |
| kmh (NYC) | Posted: May 28, 2008 - 10:44  Goddess in every way.... |

| Alpine (N39d39mW121d30m) | Posted: Mar 26, 2008 - 11:06 This song is just a mess. One. |
| ColdBear (France) | Posted: Dec 23, 2007 - 02:04 The MP3 compression is so bad. Piano sounds so weird. Low level instruments just disappeared. Please find another recording. |
| Shesdifferent (Just visiting this planet) | Posted: Sep 19, 2007 - 21:22 One of the few Tori Amos songs I like, but her lyrics are just well, in her own mind. |
| fortyonejb | Posted: Sep 19, 2007 - 21:14 beautiful song! I miss the days when Tori was pumping out music like this. |
| h_in_bristol (over there ^) | Posted: Jul 18, 2007 - 23:35 sorry, but me no like. |
| ladyj (Owosso, MI) | Posted: Jun 17, 2007 - 13:57 funny I've never heard this played here. a rare but favorite of mine. |
| bhudevi | Posted: Jun 17, 2007 - 13:55 This is one of the songs that epitomizes why Tori is perhaps the most amazing artist alive |
| Mari (île de lesvos) | Posted: May 17, 2007 - 05:55 She's got it all, magic voice, stellar piano(s) player, orchestrater, performer extraordinare! |

| agnes (the land of bourbon and horses) | Posted: May 17, 2007 - 05:54 This is one of my absolute favorite Tori songs. It absolutely captures the messed-up world of a classically-trained, self-depricating female musician. This has been dedicated to SO many men on my behalf. This was Tori in her prime. Sigh... |

| chordcloud (United Kingdom/Germany) | Posted: Mar 15, 2007 - 11:51 Recently I found myself thinking that since (and including) 'From The Choirgirl Hotel' every Tori album sounds like a 'Best of' collection! Every song a winner. 'Upside Down' is great, too. 
Like it or not, Tori is producing a body of work that, IMHO will be listened to for many generations after us. |
