The men who followed Him were unique in their generation. They turned the world upside down because their hearts had been turned right side up. The world has never been the same.

Safe And Sound
(Carly SimonJacob Brackman)
Strange times in Portland, Maine
Lobsters dancing on the dock
Switzerland's been wierd since they unplugged the clocks
Man and a woman living in Brooklyn Heights
Each convinced that the other is in the wrong
Last year the divorce rate trippled in Hong Kong
If through all the madness
We can stick together
We're safe and sound
The world's just insode out and upside down
Flash from Mexico...the tornadoes have all turned gay
Roman whores have quit to seek a better way
Dope has undermined the morale of the Buckingham Palace guards
Motorcycle gangs ride naked down Hollywood Boulevard
If through all the madness
We can stick together
We're safe and sound
The whole world's just turned insode out and upside down
Marahaj wants you to lead a pilgrimage to Tibet
New York women want me sounding off like a Suffragette
I know that each of us is alone in the end
But the trip still feels less dangerous when you've got a friend
If we stick together
You and me forever
We're safe and sound
The world's just turned inside out and upside down
The world's just turned insode out and upside down

The Old Girl Was Hiding
The old girl I remember
Came back today
The new girl I’ve encountered
At least for now, has gone away
Then I prayed, at least for now
That it would stay that way
But once I prayed
The world went astray
My life turned upside down
Now I remember her, once around
About a week
The old girl I remember
Showed her face today
The new girl I’ve encountered
Vanished without a trace today
Then I prayed, at least for a while
That it would stay that way
But once I prayed
The world went astray
My life turned upside down
Now I remember her, once around
About a month
But once I prayed again
The world went astray
My life turned upside down
Now I remember her, once around
About a year
Family Secrets
Every family has its secrets
hidden in the dark corners of the past,
the ones passed down
from generation to generation
never to be revealed to the outside world.
Some are considered shameful,
others fill the heart with dread,
all them are secrets
best kept within the family.
Some do reveal themselves
in the most astonishing ways,
an innocent conversation
and something never talked about
is suddenly revealed.
Something thought so shameful,
means nothing anymore,
but is never cast aside
and someone wishes
that earlier that secret
should have been revealed.
Many lives are turned
upside down now
and will never be the same.
Now the shame is not in the secret,
but in that, it was never revealed.

Explain?
It is you who needs to explain
Everything
You did not write the correct
Name and
Since then everything went
Wrong.
The world turned upside down
We cannot tolerate this
Bat lifestyle.
Self-styled urine drinking
And inverted thoughts
Not my life, not my world.
Go away.

Contrast Of Two Views
on the other fence
are colored lights
a party of laughter
and a fountain of
drinks
roast pig, San Miguel
beer, Tanduay rum
clinking glasses
merry widows and
glints of new
moonlights on
clear glass
between us is this
wall of barbed wire
and fortune plant tall
for hedges
as a contrast
in here the lights at
the patio are turned off
the dogs are sleeping soundly
and the chairs by the door
are turned upside down
it is as though
the world here is a store
closed
and the storekeeper is
heeding towards home
after recording the
volume of sales
the accounting is done
and windows are closed
and tables all covered
there is peace
on this side of the world
they say
that on the other side
they are trying to talk about
preventing another war
ideas clink
views are diverging
so much talk
there is a preparation
for something
big and
horrible
and they call it
a diplomatic party
where eyes look intently
on each other
where schemes are
hatched
where fledglings
come out hopping
like nuclear
bombs....

Money O! Money
Money, money and money,
The world runs after money;
Some die ‘cause of money,
And some die for money.
The money rules the world,
The world is its creator.
But now the world is afraid -
For the money has turned to be its destroyer.
The money is the ruler,
The world is its slave;
The money has turned the world -
Into a grave.
The money drew the line -
Between the rich & the poor;
The money created infelicity,
That’s to be sure.

I was flying.
I was sinking.
I was so hungry for life.
THATS when the laughter started,
thats when the world turned to

that when the world turned to war,
thats when GOD should of came.
I was leaping.
I was afraid.
I become lost, still i was brave.
thats when GOD should of came.

Spin You Around
Ooooo
Come on over the mountain
And I'll meet you at the otherside
Come on over the mountain
And I'll meet you at the otherside, yeah
If I saw you dancing
I would spin you around, spin you around
If I saw you dancing
I would spin you around, spin you around
Turn your world upside down
Ooooo
I'd spin you around, spin you around
Turn your world upside down
Spin you around, spin you around
Turn your world upside down
If you'll be my woman
I will take you to another side
If you'll be my lady
I will take you for another ride
If I saw you dancing
I would spin you around, spin you around
If I saw you dancing
I would spin you around, spin you around
Spin you around, spin you around
Turn your world upside down
Spin you around, spin you around
Turn your world upside down
I can turn you around
I'd spin you around, spin you around
Turn your world upside down

Love Came To Me (Fun Poem)

My Saints...now My Demons.
Saints turned to demons
Purity stained with grit
A heart yelling for deliverance
Muffled by a mind calling for vengeance
Knowledge was silenced by blind rage.
World turned up side down
Faith clung to for hearts grown weak
Minds cracked under pressure
Faith was all they had left in the
Revolting days and flighty nights.
Hung and crushed
By their faith in others
And saved by their faith in
Night’s lonesome powers
Delivered to their heavenly home
By their faith.
Hope was known
To be no good on this test
This was life or death.
This test turned my saints to demons
And demons into saints
The test
The test was vengeance, integrity,
And though there could have been reason
Was based out of lunacy.
Saints left this world
bludgeoned and blood,
Demons left pure and with a halo.

Lonely Girl
Hey lonely girl, what are you looking for
You lost your thrill, and you cant hide it
Knew it from the start
Your world could fall apart
Didnt wanna know,
So love just came and went the other way
Like the times we had before
You dont want them anymore
And think of the times we had before
Now my worlds turned upside down
Having the love to give and no-one seems to care
I wont give you up
Ill never give you up
Even when it hurts inside, baby
I wont give you up
Ill never live it down
Come back and stay
Hey lonely girl, yeah, come be in my picture, alone
Be my dark and heavy skies
Be my love and be my life
And think of the times we had before
Now my worlds turned upside down
Having the love to give and no-one seems to care
I wont give you up
Ill never give you up
Even when it hurts inside, baby
I wont give you up
Ill never live it down
Come back and stay
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And think of the times we had before
(now my worlds turned upside down)
Now my worlds turned upside down
Having the love to give and no-one seems to care
Now, now, now
I wont give you up
Ill never give you up
Even when it hurts inside, baby
I wont give you up
Ill never live it down
Come back and stay
I wont give you up
Ill never give you up
Even when it hurts inside, baby
I wont give you up
Ill never live it down
Come back and stay
Yeah

Gun Turned On The World
Youre walkin round like a doll without a head
You should be thinking bout how to give your love instead
Ive seen you lying and cheating your way
Then you complain about what all of your friends say
You shoot your mouth like you damn well own the world
We always have to keep our little white flags unfurled
Just try to finish the things that you start
Stop thinking with your fists
And start thinking with your heart
Oh cant you see
Oh what you could be now
You never listen to me
Oh youre like a gun turned on the world
Things have to be attempted one step at a time
You got to take that poison from your eyes
You know the lights are going out in your life
Your killing yourself with your own knife
Oh cant you see
Oh what you could be now
You never listen to me
Oh youre like a gun turned on the world
You dont want a love you need a chaperone
You want a first-class alibi
You bore the pants off people on the telephone
People are sick of your lies
You better open your eyes
Youre like a gun turned on the world, like a gun
Youre takin one step forward then two steps back
Friendly advice gets treated like a heart attack
You can drown in the shallow water of hate
Get the sense before its too late now
Oh cant you see
Oh what you could be now
You never listen to me
Oh youre like a gun turned on the world
Oh cant you see
Oh what you could be now
You never listen to me
Oh youre like a gun turned on the world

In My World
In my world
Its heaven on earth when youre close to me
I could see
That moment of truth when you spoke to me
In my world
Its never too late we can both be free
In my world
Its heaven on earth when youre near
If you knew
The changes I feel that you put me through
And you do
I see in your eyes that you really do
And its true
It happened so fast that it must be true
In my world
Its heaven on earth when youre near
And Im only just beginning
To believe what you have done
How you turned it upside down
This world of mine
And it seems while I was looking
It was right in front of me
All the time
In my world
Its heaven on earth when youre close to me
I could see
That moment of truth when you spoke to me
In my world
Its never too late we can both be free
In my world
Its heaven on earth when youre near
cos Im only just beginning
To believe what you have done
How you turned it upside down
This world of mine
And it seems while I was looking
It was right in front of me
All the time
If you knew
The changes I feel that you put me through
And you do
I see in your eyes that you really do
And its true
It happened so fast that it must be true
In my world
Its heaven on earth when youre near

The King Has Lost His Crown
Ahhhaaaa......
I believe your new girl turned you down
And they say shes pushing you around
How does it feel, I guess it hurts your pride
Tell me my friend how many nights you cried
Disaster and disgrace
The king has lost his crown
Suddenly
Hes clumsy like a clown
Aaaaah
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown
Was it hard to step down from your throne
And to know tonight youre all alone
Oh what a shame, you really want that girl
She doesnt care, still you just dream of her
Disaster and disgrace
The king has lost his crown
Suddenly
Hes clumsy like a clown
Ha-aaaahh
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown
Disaster and disgrace
The word is all around
Suddenly
Hes clumsy like a clown
Aaaaaaa-ah
The world is upside down
The king has lost his crown

A dead world
as thy light turned to darkness
As thy world to black from blue
As thy eyes turned from bright to dull
And thy lust for blood became strong
As thy hair turned blood red
As thy clothes turned to black
As thy hands, feet became clawed
And thy lust for blood became strong
As thy people died with red, black
As thy city, town destroyed
As thy hunt for her started
And thy lust for blood became strong
The world died, so did I...

Black Balloon
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking about tomorrow
'Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees
A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer
You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallowed the light from the sun
Inside your room
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
And there's no time left for losin'
When you stand they fall
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you grow colder
All because I'm
Comin' down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on to bring you home
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me

When The Indians Cry
Verse 1:
Babe tell me where
Will you sleep tonight
For there's such a pain in my heart
And I've got a flame
That's dying inside
And I feel that we'll soon have to part
Chorus:
When the indians cry
And the eagles die
Cos the winds of change blow again
Then I'll know that you
Turned the world into blue
And my tears will fall like the rain
Verse 2:
Love can be so cruel
When the light of hope is gone
I know cos I felt it before
In the desert of fear
I can hear this old song
Of a love that won't live anymore
Chorus:
When the indians cry
And the eagles die
Cos the winds of change blow again
Then I'll know that you
Turned the world into blue
And my tears will fall like the rain
Instrumental Solo
Chorus:
When the indians cry
And the eagles die
Cos the winds of change blow again
Then I'll know that you
Turned the world into blue
And my tears will fall like the rain
Then I'll know that you
Turned the world into blue
Then I'll know that you
Turned the world into blue
And my tears will fall like the rain
