Great Big Sea - When I'm Up Lyrics
originally performed by OysterbandI am the fountain of affectionI'm the instrument of joyAnd to keep the good times rollingI'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 disintegrationsThere's a few discolourations, then it comes alongYou know up is what he chooses, the kisses and the bruisesThere ain't nothing he refuses, then it comes alongIt comes along, and I am lifted, I am lifted, I am lifted!CHORUS:When I'm up I can't get downCan't get down, can't get levelWhen I'm up I can't get downGet my feet back on the groundWhen I'm up I can't get downCan't get down, can't get levelWhen I'm up I can't get downGet my feet back on the groundHe just needs, something to bind himSomething to wind him upIt won't take long to find himWhen it comes on strong.Black skies are grinning, street lights are spinningThe night is just beginning, and then it comes on strongIt comes on strong, and I am lifted, I am lifted, I am lifted!CHORUSOh it comes on strong, and I am lifted.It comes on strong, and I am lifted.I am lifted, I am lifted!CHORUSOh, I can't get downOh no, no, no, no, no, I can't get downOh-oh-oh I can't get down
