Back to Front - The Kinks

Just come back where I came from

Looks the same as something’s wrong

And all my friends that used to be

Have gone and turned their backs on me

Everyone’s got different views

Now I’m all shook up and all confused

East is West, left is right

Up is down, and black is white

Inside-out, wrong is right

It’s back to front and I’m all uptight

I’ve just come back from fantasy

Right back to reality

Stayed away too long but now I’ve found

My world is turning upside-down

I don’t fit in but I don’t stand out

I should stay cool but want to shout

East is West, left is right

Up is down, and black is white

Inside-out, wrong is right

It’s back to front and I’m all uptight

No one knows where I come from

«Who are you and what do you want?»

You’ve thrown away all that we had

It’s down the drain, it’s all gone mad

The word is out, I’ve seen the sign

So you go your way, I go mine

East is West, left is right

Up is down, and black is white

Inside-out, wrong is right

It’s back to front and I’m all uptight

East is West, left is right

Up is down, and black is white

Inside-out, wrong is right

It’s back to front and I’m all uptight (alright)

It’s back to front and I’m all uptight (alright, alright, alright, alright)

Are you listening?

(NO!)

Well then, I’ll have to do it all over again!
