Get yourself together
Let the light pour in
Pour yourself a hot bath
Pour yourself a drink
Nothing's gonna happen
Without a warning
Down is the new Up
What is up Buttercup
Down is the new Up, is the new Up..
I'd sell my soul
If it's required
Your future's bleak
Your soul is weakening
Ladies and gentlemen, without a safety net
I shall now perform an Orwellian flip flop
I shall now amputate, I shall now contort
Cos Down is the new Up
What if I just flip flopped
Down is the new Up, is the new Up
caught on Candid Camera
the chink in your armor
Topsy turvy town, topsy turvy town
Shake your pockets out
Pass it on, pass it down
Topsy Turvy town, topsy turvy town
And I guess the reference to Orwell indicates it is a reference to Orwell's decision to become a socialist. Orwell wrote a book called "Down and Out in Paris and London".
The lyrics are more along the lines of:
Get yourself together Let the light pour in Pour yourself a hot bath Pour yourself a drink Nothing's gonna happen Without a warning
Down is the new Up What is up Buttercup Down is the new Up, is the new Up..
I'd sell my soul If it's required Your future's bleak Your soul is weakening
Ladies and gentlemen, without a safety net I shall now perform an Orwellian flip flop I shall now amputate, I shall now contort
Cos Down is the new Up What if I just flip flopped Down is the new Up, is the new Up
caught on Candid Camera the chink in your armor Topsy turvy town, topsy turvy town
Shake your pockets out Pass it on, pass it down Topsy Turvy town, topsy turvy town
