Your church is upside down

 

Why’d you keep falling
Out of your church?
Everytime you perch
Your church begin to lurch

You got the upside-down church blues
Baby, your church is upside down
You got the upside-down church blues
Baby, your church is upside down

Why is the stained glass
Looking so weird?
Why’d you make a mountain
Out of Jesus and his beard?

You got the upside-down church blues
Baby, your church is upside down
You got the upside-down church blues
Baby, your church is upside down

I went to the corner
And I fell down on my knees
I saw Dennis Healy
And I said “have mercy! please,
“Why is the universe
Falling ‘to decay?”
He said “cause your church
Is Up the wrong way”

You got the upside-down church blues
Baby, your church is upside down
I got the upside-down church blues
Baby, my church is upside down

Let’s go! (guitar solo)

I saw Ken Livingstone
In the laundrette
His clothes were all dry
But his hair was still wet
I said “Lord, have mercy!
My soul’s on fire!”
He said “In that case,
Call the fire brigade

I got the upside-down church blues
Baby, my church is upside down
I got the upside-down church blues
Baby, my church is upside down
