UPSIDE-DOWN WORLD We are living in a fallen world that has turned its back on God Where everybody’s going there own way Where what is bad is now called good What is wrong is now called right It’s getting more unstable every day When a man says he’s a woman Or a woman she’s a man We’re running away from reality We’re living in an upside down world. It’s out 180 degrees We’re living in an upside down world. Got me down on my knees Morality tumbles and society crumbles as we fail to do our part We don’t need more legislation. We just need a brand new heart There’s violence and hate, persecution and rape. Decadence and sleeze We’ve forgotten ’bout the words of Jesus. To love our enemies And every day in every way as violent acts increase You’re still trying to tell me that Islam is a religion of peace! We’re living in an upside down world. Where fake is seen as true We’re living in an upside down world. Tell me what I gotta do And I can’t change the world. You know that I can’t change the world I can’t change the world But I know someone who can. Jesus is that man We’ve turned away from our creator and we exalt ourselves on high We tell ourselves somehow we just evolved this way but that is just another lie We try to fix the worlds problems but there’s no solution here on earth We can’t do a thing about our sin until we have a second birth The future’s clear the end is near. The writing’s on the wall Either accept Jesus Christ as saviour or fall We’re living in an upside down world. It’s out 180 degrees We’re living in an upside down world. Got me down on my knees Jesus won’t you help me please You know I can’t do it on my own. You know I can’t do it by myself You know I need someone to guide me I can’t do it on my own. I just can’t do it by myself There’s only one who can save and I know someone who can. Jesus is that man We’re living in an upside down world. Where wrong is seen as right We’re living in an upside down world. Not living in the light We’re living in an upside down world. It’s out 180 degrees We’re living in an upside down world. Got me down on my knees

THE GAMES WE PLAY The games we play I find them all so hard to take What are we trying to win? The games we play You take my words as what I say Look at me now while I tell you We never say what we mean It’s hard to do Just when you think you’re playing it straight You’re playing the fool The games we play You dealt the joker and I was saved Just as I thought to throw my last in But there was more Than silly things like keeping score You found a new way to make me smile I’m glad that you showed your hand It’s hard to do Now I’ve some other fun in mind With far fewer rules Oh yeah The games we play The games we play The games we play

Psalm 148 04:22
PSALM 148 Praise the LORD from the heavens, praise him in the heights above. Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts. Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars. Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies. Let them praise the name of the LORD, for he commanded and they were created. He set them in place for ever and ever; he gave them a decree that will never pass away. Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths, lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding, kings of the earth and all nations, you princes and all rulers on earth, young men and maidens, old men and children. Let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted; his splendour is above the earth and the heavens. He has raised up for his people a horn, the praise of all his saints, of Israel, the people close to his heart. Praise the LORD.

Weak 05:02
WEAK I feel weak about the things I do I wanna speak and say something new People all around me wanna know my name But that is just because they wanna do me pain All around me people crumble and burn I think that it’s sad but I wish that they’d had another chance to learn I feel weak because of things I don’t know I always get things wrong and people tell me so And all around me people crumble and burn I think that it’s sad but I wish they’d had another chance to learn Chance to turn, chance to yearn, pants to burn Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. I feel weak because there’s so much pain I’d like to get it together and make a change But all around me people crumble and burn I think that it’s sad but I wish they’d had another chance to learn Chance to turn, chance to yearn, pants to burn Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. It’s all in my mind it’s like I’m going to go blind It’s like a rat running round in my brain You got me confused It’s like I’ve just been abused It’s like I’m riding on a runaway train I’m out of control, you know I’m stick in a hole It’s like I can’t think of any way out You’ve got me confined, I’m going out of my mind If you’re gonna make me scream I’m shouting out Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. I feel weak because of things I can’t do I really need your love to try to pull me through Cause all around me people crumble and burn I think that it’s sad but I wish they’d had another chance to learn Chance to turn, chance to yearn, pants to burn Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away. Take it away.

Are you ready to help the poor They’ve got so little we’ve got so much more We need to show the world the love that sets them free Are you ready to lend a hand Show compassion to a dying man Jesus died to redeem the lives of you and me Anyone, anyplace, anybody will do You and I must embrace all the world to renew Are you ready for the great adventure Have you got something to give Are you ready to tell all the world He lives! Are you ready for the battle Are you ready for the fight Are you ready to be shining brightly In the dead of night Are you ready to show you care To be a friend when nobody’s there Building bridges as we learn to share the light Are you ready to meet a need Showing love with our word and deed Restore the land with our lives shining bright Anyone, anyplace, anybody will do You and I must embrace all the world to renew Are you ready for the great adventure Have you got something to give Are you ready to tell all the world Are you ready to tell all the world Are you ready to tell all the world He lives!

Remember 05:03
REMEMBER Remember if you’re feeling down. If people try to push you round Remember about the love of Jesus in your heart When everything is going wrong. And the day seems to take too long Just remember about the love of Jesus in your heart. In your heart Because His love’s gonna take us somewhere new and love’s gonna lead us home His love’s gonna be with us one day as we dance around the throne Love’s gonna help us care and love’s gonna help us share Love’s gonna heed the call and love’s gonna conquer all Remember that he paid a price by giving you a sacrifice Remember about the love of Jesus in your heart Remember that he saved your soul when you were falling in a hole Remember about the love of Jesus in your heart. In your heart Because His love’s gonna take us somewhere new and love’s gonna lead us home His love’s gonna be with us one day as we dance around the throne Love’s gonna help us care and love’s gonna help us share Love’s gonna heed the call and love’s gonna conquer all Some people try to gain the world but they lose their very soul Maybe they never gave their heart to the one who’s in control Because His love’s gonna take us somewhere new and love’s gonna lead us home His love’s gonna be with us one day as we dance around the throne Love’s gonna help us care and love’s gonna help us share Love’s gonna heed the call and love’s gonna conquer all

Full Moon 03:02
FULL MOON I just got back from Memphis Memphis Tennassee The ghost of Elvis just won’t let me be I travelled all around this world but always been alone I haven’t got a place to call my home Full moon, full moon, won’t you ever let me be Full moon won’t you shine your light on me See my shiny pearl white teeth See my lovely hair One dark night I’ll catch you unaware Although my thoughts are high up High up in the sky I’m coming down on you I’ll suck you dry Full moon, full moon, won’t you ever let me be Full moon won’t you shine your light on me Full moon, full moon, won’t you ever let me be Full moon won’t you shine your light on me I am a creature of the night Into lycanthropy So full moon bathe me in your lunar sea I sow my mandrake seeds at night Widdershins to the moon I’m coming down to eat you pretty soon Full moon, full moon, won’t you ever let me be Full moon won’t you shine your light on me Full moon, full moon, won’t you ever let me be Full moon won’t you shine your light on me

Psalm 13 03:06
PSALM 13 How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look on me and answer, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death; my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall. But I trust in your unfailing love; My heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the LORD, for he has been good to me.

ZIGSAUR STOMP Long, long ago in the deep dark mists of time There lived a strange creature called a Zigsaur And he loved to stomp Down in the cellar we stomp all day We really don’t care what the critics say We’ve been oh so busy trying to learn the chords All they say is “nice tune - shame about the words” We’re just thrashing out our songs And I don’t see what is so wrong What happened to all the happy songs Unless you’re morbid you can sing along We’ve been known to sing of suicide But when we said we were down we lied We’re just thrashing out our songs And we don’t see what is so wrong We’re doing the Zigsaur stomp We’re doing the Zigsaur stomp We’re doing the Zigsaur stomp We’re doing the Zigsaur stomp We got the Ashvins and Froithead, the Susans too But none of them do what we can do We got Russell Jones on drums - he can really swing And some people say that we’re the next big thing We’re doing the Zigsaur stomp We’re doing the Zigsaur stomp We’re doing the Zigsaur stomp We’re doing the Zigsaur stomp We don’t know if you hear what we say - we say it anyway We don’t know if you hear what we say - we say it anyway Zigsaur, Zigsaur, Zigsaur, Zigsaur Zigsaur, Zigsaur, Zigsaur, Zigsaur Zigsaur, Zigsaur, Zigsaur, Zigsaur Zigsaur, Zigsaur, Zigsaur, Zigsaur stomp
