Upside Down

by Gordon Haskell

on It Is And It Isn't (1974)

Thinking I was speaking on a semi-violent day
I let you walk right round me, I was miles and miles away
And if you asked me what I'm doing, I don't know what I'd say
The thing that I was seeking was so very far away

Everything is upside down and turned around
And like the fly that's settled on the ceiling I'll get by
And I don't mind as long as everything is upside down and turned around
And like the fly that's settled on the ceiling I'll get by

Words are for the fools who want to shine for everyone
If you don't see it in my eyes, it won't be on my tongue
And if you stopped to ask me something, I don't know what I'd say
The words that I'd be saying wouldn't matter anyway

Everything is upside down and turned around
And like the fly that's settled on the ceiling I'll get by
And I don't mind as long as everything is upside down and turned around
And like the fly that's settled on the ceiling I'll get by

Gazing at the pantomime, a smile upon my face
I never ever know my lines, they call it a disgrace
I am, I am not, I wish I were, I'm sure I will recur
'Cause every time I look at you I'm thinking more of her

Everything is upside down and turned around
And like the fly that's settled on the ceiling I'll get by
And I don't mind as long as everything is upside down and turned around
And like the fly that's settled on the ceiling I'll get by
And I don't mind as long as everything is upside down and turned around
And like the fly that's settled on the ceiling I'll get by
And I don't mind as long as everything is upside down and turned around
And like the fly that's settled on the ceiling I'll get by
And I don't mind as long as everything is upside...
