When I'm up I can't get down

Telfer/Prosser/Jones


Lyrics from: Holy Bandits

I am the fountain of affection — the instrument of joy —
To keep the good time rolling I'm the boy, I'm the boy
I say the world will be our oyster — you can put your trust 
in me
We'll keep the good times rolling, wait & see, wait & see 
Wait & see …

Exaltation
sweet disintegration
a few discolourations
when it comes on strong;
up is what he chooses
the kisses & the bruises
there's nothing he refuses
when it comes along
it comes along
& I am lifted
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 

Something to blind him 
something to wind him up
won't take long to find him 
& it comes along;
wise guys are grinning 
streetlights are spinning 
the night is just beginning 
& it comes on strong 
& I am lifted. 
I am lifted, I am lifted
