When I'm Up (i Can't Get Down) Lyrics - Play - Great Big Sea

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 rolling 

Wait and see, wait and see, oh wait and see 

This exhaltation 

And the sweet disintegration 

There's a few discolourations 

When it comes along 

You know up is why he chooses 

All the kisses and the bruises 

There ain't nothing he refuses 

When it comes along 

It comes along and I am lifted 

Oh, and I am lifted, I am lifted 

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 

I just need something to blind him 

Something to wind him up 

It won't take long to find him 

When it comes on strong 

Wise guys are grinning 

And the street lights are spinning 

Oh, the night is just beginning 

When it comes on strong 

Comes on strong and I am lifted 

Oh, I am lifted, I am lifted 

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 

Said, no, no, no 

And I know, no, no, no, I can't get down 

Oh, it comes on strong and I am lifted 

Oh, it comes on strong and I am lifted 

Oh, and I am lifted, I am lifted 

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 

I said, 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 

Bring my feet back on the ground 

Said no, no, no, I can't get down 

And I know, no, no, no, I can't get down 

Oh, Lord, when I'm up I know, no, I can't get down
