"When I'm Up (I Can't Get Down)" The Oysterband

I am the fountain of affection
The instrument of joy
To keep the good times rolling
I'm the boy, I'm the boy,
I said the world will be our oyster,
You can put your trust in me,
We'll keep the good times rolling
Wait and see, wait and see.... wait and see!

Exhaltation, sweet disintegration.
A few discolorations, when it comes on strong
Up is what he chooses, the kisses and the bruises
There's nothing he refuses, when 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

Oh!

Something to blind him
Something to wind him up
It won't take long to find him
When it comes on along.
Wise guys are grinning, street lights are spinning
The night is just beginning, and 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  Repeat

I am the fountain of affection
You can put your trust in me
We'll keep the good times rolling,
Wait and see
Wait and See!

(I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar!)
