Description
Perhaps a strange song, perhaps not. It is all in the eye or in this case the ears of the beholder/listener. "Everything I have told you is a lie Stanley, including this." , George to Stanley in the original British version of the film Bedazzeled.

Lyrics
Which Way Is Up?
Swinging on the trapeze, going round and round
Which way is up and which way is down
Every man is an island, each man is a fool
If water was knowledge, he couldn't drown in a pool
One man says it's true, another says it's a lie
But they both look deceitful, when you look them in the eye
Take all the mysteries, put them in a box
Wrap them in cellophane, secure them with locks
And maybe when you die , they'll let you look inside
Then you will know, whether to laugh or to cry
Love is all there is, except for those who hate
The righteous smite the pious, they don't even wait
Lord save us from the certain man, who knows which way is up
Fill our minds with doubt, make us drink from a broken cup
And I am just the singer, of this sad, sad song
But my time is short and I know it won't be long
Swinging on the trapeze, going round and round
Which way is up and which way is down
Every man is an island, each man is a fool
If water was knowledge, he couldn't drown in a pool
One man says it's true, another says it's a lie
But they both look deceitful, when you look them in the eye
Take all the mysteries, put them in a box
Wrap them in cellophane, secure them with locks
And maybe when you die , they'll let you look inside
Then you will know, whether to laugh or to cry
Love is all there is, except for those who hate
The righteous smite the pious, they don't even wait
Lord save us from the certain man, who knows which way is up
Fill our minds with doubt, make us drink from a broken cup
And I am just the singer, of this sad, sad song
But my time is short and I know it won't be long
