about

Inspired in the kitchen by the (entirely hypothetical) irony: “All my foil is heavy duty, I have so many other great qualities too, why am I not universally loved and wildly successful?” Recorded 2018 at Clear Sky Studio. Produced by Jim Amsden.

lyrics

Backwards Upside Down
© 2016 by R. Bowdon


G G7 C7 G
All my taxes been collected / and my manuscripts rejected
D D7
All my carry-ons inspected / with a frown
G G7 C7 G
I've been diagnosed diverted / and routinely disconcerted
D7 G G7
Seems like everything I do is upside down


C7 G
Upside down (upside down) / turned around (turned around)
D C#dim D7
It's like saying that the devil's glory bound (you know he ain't)
G G7 C Cdim
Just like Christmas in July or flocks of pigs up in the sky
G D7 G
Since you left my life is backwards upside down


G G7 C G
All my songs are under-rated / and my paychecks are post-dated
G D
Even mama said I'd better leave this town
G G7 C G
Son each day you're gettin' older / you'd be better off in Boulder
D7 G G7
Where the law on marijuana's upside down

Chorus then turnaround then verse and chorus break

G G7 C G
All my foil's heavy duty / all my ice cream's tutti frutti
D
And I do my best to not act like a clown
G G7 C G
Yes I always try to please you no I never taunt or tease you
D7 G G7
Why'd you flip me on my backside upside down

Chorus

G G7
Just like porkers in the sky hold for one measure
C7 Cdim
girl you know that pigs can't fly (walk up the diminished chord)
G D7 G
Since you left my life is backwards upside down
G6
