GREEN: TURN YOU INSIDE-OUT

This track definitely encapsulates the less is more theory of the band.  Instead of repetitive verses there is really only one and there are only 5 chords in the song.  It is clear that this song was written and produced to be an arena song, it's loud, brash, and easy to play, remember, and sing along to.  In Tourfilm, Stipe goes to the megaphone and blasts the chorus.  He would dedicate the song to the Exxon Corporation before performing as this was soon after the Alaskan Oil Spill.  The song is not incredibly easy to understand, but I am surprised at all of the incorrect lyrics circulating around the web.  The only question mark I have here is where he has two vocal lines and on one of them he wants to put an 'r' in the word tool.  I have written this word as 'truth' because it fits, but it's just like the band to leave a vocal recording error in to give the song just a little bit more flavor.    





TURN YOU INSIDE-OUT

Divide your cultured pearls and paste
I’m looking for to lay waste
Of all the things I cannot taste
And this is not the racy race
They spoke loud

I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you
It’s what you do
I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you

I could turn you inside out
What I choose not to do
I could turn you inside out
What I choose not to do

Given the choice
Giving my heart
Given the truth (tool)
Given the word
Given the tears

I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you
It’s what you do
I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you
I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you
I … I … I … I, I, I

I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do

I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you
Given the choice
Giving my heart
I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you
Given the tool
I believe in what you do
Given the word
I believe in watching you
Given the tears
I believe in what you do
I believe in watching you

I could … I …

I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do
I could turn you inside-out
What I choose not to do


Given the choice
Giving my heart
Given the tool
Given the word
Given the tears
Given the tears
Given the tears
Given the choice
Given the choice
Given the choice
Given the choice


  The guitar line here is based off of the Buck B chord from Harborcoat.  This chord makes a similar appearance down the line in 'Discoverer,' so much so that from now on fans probably won't know what song the band is playing until the drums or second guitar kick in.  Perhaps that is on purpose.  Or, maybe the band is sick of 'Inside-Out' and want a similar rocker live.  When and if they play live again.  I'm guessing one more album.
  The guitar line is fairly free and relies on distortion to carry the wave of sound.  This is another one of those songs where it's easy to blend the bass and guitar lines together.  Buck does walk down at times in the verse, but that job is mostly left to Mills.  When in doubt, just hit that A/D chord and let it ring!
