When I'm Up (I Can't Get Down)

originally performed by Oysterband



I am the fountain of affection

I'm the instrument of joy

And to keep the good times rolling

I'm the boy, I'm the boy,

You know the world could be our oyster,

If you just put your trust in me,

'Cause we'll keep the good times rollin'

Wait and see, wait and see ... oh wait and see!



There's exaltations, a sweet disintegrations

There's a few discolourations, then it comes along

You know up is what he chooses, the kisses and the bruises

There ain't nothing he refuses, then it comes along

It comes along, and I am lifted, I am lifted, I am lifted!



CHORUS:

When I'm up I can't get down

Can't get down, can't get level

When I'm up I can't get down

Get my feet back on the ground

When I'm up I can't get down

Can't get down, can't get level

When I'm up I can't get down

Get my feet back on the ground



He just needs, something to bind him

Something to wind him up

It won't take long to find him

When it comes on strong.



Black skies are grinning, street lights are spinning

The night is just beginning, and then it comes on strong

It comes on strong, and I am lifted, I am lifted, I am lifted!



CHORUS



Oh it comes on strong, and I am lifted.

It comes on strong, and I am lifted.

I am lifted, I am lifted!



CHORUS



Oh, I can't get down

Oh no, no, no, no, no, I can't get down

Oh-oh-oh I can't get down
