Lyrics

Tragically falling out of your church
Every time you perch your church begin to lurch
You've got the upside-down church blues
Baby your church is upside down
You've 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've got the upside-down church blues
Baby your church is upside down
You've got the upside-down church blues
Maybe your church is upside down

I went to the corner and I fell down on my knees
I saw Denis Healey and I said have mercy please
Why is the universe crumbling 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

I saw Ken Livingstone in the launderette
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
Maybe my church is upside down
I got the upside-down church blues
Baby my church is upside down
