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

- 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,
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!
His exhaltation, a sweet disintegration.
A few discolorations, then it comes along
up is why 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 blind him
Something to wind him up
It won't take long to find him
When it comes on strong.
Wise guys 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]

I’m a punk rocker and this band is my guilty pleasure
I’m from Newfoundland and I absolutely love great big sea! The music is so joyful too plus I’ve known all of great big sea’ music for sooo long
Whenever I listen to GBS, it takes me right back to the maritimes. They have such a unique sound. Love this song!
My father loves this song
Most of my favorite memories of my slightly traumatic childhood consist of me and him listening to this
Discovered this band while driving from Innisfil, Ontario to Bell Island, Newfoundland. Unforgettable.
love this song!! dad introduced it to me and being half newfie of course I will love it!!
I think all true Canadians have some Newfie in their hearts. I know I do.
Dave Mason kiss the cod
hail the queen
Sean
and pass me a beer, eh
Dave Mason I do as well, I love being Canadian.
+[Internal SCreams] Always. Especially during the playoffs :D
In my blood
Cool tune hi 👋 from Ireland
When i was a kid i def heard "kisses i mean bruises". And i always heard "it comes on strong" both times.
i love this song so much
GO CANADA
fukcin love this country
me also.
this song is awsome
now THATS music!
how can anyone hate this song?
OK, so I heard this song on the radio and the lilt in the vocalist's voice and the fiddles which I thought sounded like some of the Celtic folk groups... I was curious so I looked this up here only to discover Great Big Sea is from Canada. Oh…. Wikipedia says Great Big Sea is doing rock interpretations of Newfoundland folk songs which draw from Irish, Scottish and Cornish heritage. Nice! Like it! Got played on 92.5 The River Independent Radio station here in Haverhill, MA. 😊
I love this song sooo much! It's amazing to be canadian
This is a cover of a British song
@@Chanchification Canada is a cover of a British country so it fits lol
I can't believe my Dad thinks this group sucks! What is wrong with him?! My oldest sister loves this group, though. I think this is all that she listens to...
Oh my god i love this song ive known it for so long. A Canadian as myself i love it! Anyways anybody who is reading this comment i hope you have a great day!
thanks for posting this, i first heard this song when i was just a lad, about 4 years old to be exact, and for years i've been trying to find the name of the band for this familiar song and for those past 12 years, i never knew that the band who wrote this song, was the greatest blues band of all, Great Big Sea.
They didn't write it, it's a cover of a British song
awesome tune! love GREAT BIG SEA!
That chorus is just so damn catchy! Not to mention the fiddle riff (I think it's a fiddle?).
Violinist aka fiddle
Oyster Band! Where are they now? You know they have talent.
It reminds all people who remember this song. From when it first came out that it’s a good classic with passion
This song was playing in my sewing class before covid started
i just went to ottawa folk fest the other day because GBS was there. i love them!!!!!
quintessential great big sea track :)
And yet, a cover.
Rigel7WasAlreadyUsed It is?
damn. proud to be canadian tbh
i was not in the best moods before listening to this, a beer later and i was looking up history stuff on blimps ...
i highly suggest to look up ww1 zeppelin not too deadly but scary as hell while listening.
I have relatives that live in Canada; does that make me an honorary Canadian?
@@Shadethewolfy yes 🙂
THIS SONG IS THE BEST!!!!
Awesome
Best song i have ever herd!!!!

@TheBeatles193 Amen to that. Moved to Alberta four years ago, and I miss the coast so damn badly...

I've loved this sing for 3 years and I still do. And your awesome because if you are newfie I am to(please answer if you are newfie or not)
Nice version .
I remember sitting in the car going to Newfoundland in the summer to see my grandparents and this song would play and my family would Jam
Personally, I think they are the best Canadian band!
....if anyone mentions Nickleback after this, they need to be slapped.
I agree
they're good but Rush tho
Ok but what about the Tragically Hip?
Billy Talent
Nickelback FTW!
lol Newfies.. nuff said XD love you guys
Hell yeah
@TheChaoticEntity Amen, im in edmonton right now, but soon to be home, sweet salty home
This song should be in a Viagra Ad
Hahaha and now that's the only thing I can think about. Thanks for that lol
i first heard this 102.3 now radio dot com
This brings me back to grade 5 xD
+Cameron Granger First cd I ever owned.
Me mum rock this album when I was little. "Garfield, you were never little" "When I was young."
Who think gbs is the best newfoundland band ever
This is a great song....and a good cover of it. Not written by the GBS though. Oyster Band wrote it.
I'll go with that
Great big sea and Newfoundland ftw am i right!
It might be amazing to be Canadian but this is an English song. Written by Oysterband.
When you coming back to Brandon manitoba
Comes.on.strong
gway yere all bollixs by GOD BLESS NEWFOUNDLAD
...are you stalking me? XD
Oh that makes sense I'm from the west, so I only speak one language and even then not very well. XD But both are correct and I was taught to spell it like "Canadian" with an "a" instead of an "e". Nice to speak with a easterner makes Canada feel a bit smaller.
Folk rock/folk pop.
This might be a dumb question but what is this song about? Is it about staying positive? Being too much a dreamer to focus on reality?
you crazy newfies :p, from a caper
then what are they?
is this the greatest Bi-Polar anthem ever written?
I can relate... I'm bi-polar but gratefully no more depression. Love my happy pills to keep me stable & high on life. Amen to being positive & surrounding myself with positive influences like the Bible. The truth shall set you free. God does not lie.
Someone help me, I listened to a "when I get up I can't get down" song in a store and it was jazz I think and sung by a woman. Very nice beat and I can't find it here in UA-cam, someone know about it?
GBS country band!? HAHA omy...
Well the 301 one other ones standing should help him :)
What is this song about?
he cant get down from the tree :o
12 now
@DemonDancingDove That was the point of the comment.. I usually hate those kind of comments but that was actually good haha
I always thought I’d get an “Exit Only” sign on my ass.
But I’ve had a prostate exam since I had that idea so… 🤷♂️
i have newfie in my heart. yaarrrr!
lordtundamajaysusbai*
Lordtunderin*
yarrrr?
I love how the video is 12 years old buy less than 200 comments
I lived there for 2 years moved and went back for a year and moved its because I'm newfie.
@XxFREAKINGSPARKLESxX Typing that kind of contradicts this entire song, just letting you know. ;)
You're up, don't let them get you down. :D
actually I'm from Ontario, and i grew up french so i think its a habit to spell it that way, of course i don't even know if its spelt that way in french since i suck with spelling things, especially names, if I'm correct its "Canadian" in English right?
gway boy wil ya
Wait is he talking about being high?
to me they are the best country band in the world. I mean hell I can't stand this genre so if a band can make ME love then then they did SOMETHING right.
KegorianRune it not cuntry it's celtic. Maybe that's why you like it
That's what she said...
Are you a Québecer? If not then why do you spell it "Canadien"? I know the term was originally spelt as such, and referred primarily to francophones. But generally you don't spell it like that.
@suzannejmartin Watched that, then came back to this. comparing them, I have deduced one thing; GBS took that song, and awesome-afied it.
yea it shouldnt be put down
Although I'm also Canadian, Ymfah introduced me to this band through Ordinary Day.
Why do I think anyone cares?
Uhh...
I first heard them through the chemical worker's song
Looks like 9 cant get it up now......
When.im.up.i.cant.get.down
actuolly i got no clue anymore if its canadien or what
Nice, still prefer both of the Oysterband originals.
So is humor nothavicus.
2 people can't get down
Oh, I'm sorry... and here I was thinking that I was actually ALLOWED to voice my opinions without discrimination...I guess everyone's wrong at one point in their life, huh? :)
@Robmar420 Heh, I've been told I'm really bad with those jokes, so I'm trying to restrain myself.
This is from my neck of the woods sorry about you tube comercials
Buenisima
toto tito maritimers right toto. You know. Drinkin whisky music. Thanx love♡♡
Good music Royce like it
Muy bueno amigo disfruta
since its the internet nobody knows if your being rude or disrespectful to the band or your saying your opinion, which is why normally people say IMO or in my opinion that there music isn't that good and that i don't like it, your allowed giving your opinion but since the internet is full of trolls and assholes normally if you don't make it specific that your not saying the band sucks but that you specifically don't like it then people take it the wrong way, which is probably why blind reacted.

I was about to say a comment like yours. I knew somebody was going to say something like that.
narofan966 make that 2
@mrquackadoodlemoo people who dont like newfies, Newfies FTW!
Nothing really, I just like GBS's music better. :/ I was just kidding about the slapping part, but now that I look at it... it does kinda seem like I have something against them, doesn't it? X)
