I Can't Tell The Bottom From The Top (Fletcher / Flett)
And every time I get to thinking
With every thought of you
I wanna shout aloud
And then I think about
The love I had inside me
How you brought what's inside out

So now love's made it to the outside
I wanna to tell the world
Of everything I've found
Somehow your love released
A spring wound up inside me
You turned my living upside-down

And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels
Is it cloudy, is it bright
Is it day or is it night
Am I wrong or am I right
And is it real

Tell me where you learned the magic
The spell you used the day you made me fall
Baby now I know that love is no illusion
I'm upside-down but ten feet tall

And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels
Is it cloudy, is it bright
Is it day or is it night
Am I wrong or am I right
And is it real

All alone I drifted with the tide
I didn't know that love could move me so
You filled my life with love and much more besides
And you showed me which way to go

And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels
Is it cloudy, is it bright
Is it day or is it night
Am I wrong or am I right
And is it real

And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels
Is it cloudy, is it bright
Is it day or is it night
Am I wrong or am I right
And is it real

And I can't tell the bottom from the top
Am I standing on my head or on my heels
Is it cloudy, is it bright
Is it day or is it night
Am I wrong or am I right
And is it real

 

Mad Professor Blyth (Clarke)
Mad Professor Blyth is working on his pet invention
To dematerialise himself into the fourth dimension
He's got his mind set on illusion
To find the secrets of diffusion
Conclusion: he disappeared

Tried it on his cat, one grey night when it was foggy
Never got it back, Oh what happened to his Moggy
He's got his mind set on illusion
To find the secrets of diffusion
Conclusion: he's disappeared

All the kids around about his neighbourhood
Used to laugh at him and call him names
Silly old bat, freaky four-eyes
Sort of things they used to shout
He can't hear them now

Break

He's disappeared

Colleagues at the lab
They all thought that he was crazy
Don't know where he's at
His formulas to them are hazy

He had his mind set on illusion
He found the secrets of diffusion
Conclusion: he's disappeared
