"When I'm Up I Can't Get Down"
Written by Ian Telfer, Alan Prosser and John Jones of the Oysterband, from the album "Holy Bandits" on Cooking Vinyl label, 1993. Copyright Momentum Music.

I am the fountain of affection, the instrument of joy,
To keep the good times rollin' 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 rollin' wait and see, wait and see, wait and see.

Exaltation, 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
And I am lifted, I am lifted, 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 and it comes along,
Wise guys are grinning, streetlights are spinning,
The night is just beginning and it comes on strong,
And I am lifted, I am lifted...

Of course, you have to hear it, with Johnny Jones on vocal and Ian Telfer on fiddle, fantastic. The song has also been recorded by Canadian band Great Big Sea.
