Tori Amos has sung a musical ode to troubled celeb popstar Britney Spears at a show in Australia earlier this week.
During Amos’s show in Sydney on Tuesday (September 11) – she improvised a verse in response to Spears’ criticically panned performance at the MTV Music Video Awards.
Amos has previously spoken out in support of Britney Spear’s, saying that her ‘head shaving’ incident was an indication of who Spears really is.
Speaking to contactmusic earlier this year, Amos said: “I don’t
think her sweet, saccharine image was close to who she really was, and she rebelled”.
The lyrics in full were:
Britney, they set you up.
But you drank from their cup,
Britney, They set you up.
Oh, but this is what it looks like, love.
This is what is looks like.
When a star falls down. When a star falls down.
Well, maybe you’re a mother.
But you still need your mother.
Yes, I may be a mother but I still need a mother,
To pick me up.
Yes, to pick me up…
When it all falls down
When it all falls down
Britney, they set you up.
Is your contract winding up?
But you drank from the cup.
Boy, this is what it looks like.
Yes, I said, this is, this is what it looks like, Disney, yes.
When a star falls down.
When a star falls down.
You may be a mother
Baby, you still need a mother.
Yes, I may be a mother but I still need a mother
To pick me up,
Yes, to pick me up.
When it all falls down.
When it all falls down. When it all falls, all falls down.
When it all falls down.
