about

My politics have been informed by revolutionaries as diverse as Vladimir Mayakovsky, Ornette Coleman, Michael Bakunin, Mary Wollstonecraft, John Lennon, Che Guevara, Frida Kahlo, Bertolt Brecht, John Berger and Percy Bysche Shelley. The words are about revolution in its many complex manifestations.

(Keith Armstrong - original liner notes)

lyrics

TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN

Turn it upside down
Turn the coral into grass
Change a hardhat for a desk
Turn it upside down

Turn it upside down
Swing the land into the sea
Take an overall degree
Turn it upside down

Turn it upside down
Take a flight below the water
Draw crosses in the slaughter
Shrink the floating voter
Turn it upside down

Turn it upside down
Pull windows over curtains
Sew sparks into safety buttons
Turn it upside down

Turn it upside down
Make a seabed of a reef
Walk a mermaid down the street
Squeeze sperm from a sheaf of wheat
Turn it upside down

Turn it upside down
Exchange the Stock for wine
Put the miner on Cloud Nine
Drown Britannia down the mine
Turn it upside down

Turn it upside down

(lyrics: Keith Armstrong / music: Gary Miller)
