Shake it now
The life that I choose could be a whole lot better
But I don’t give a damn about that
Because being with you is like getting too drunk
Laying ill and I’m falling down flat
I’m upside down
I’m upside down
Here I am on bended knees
Waiting for a word from you
To knock me down
I’m standing around
Like a hanging broken dream
You
Life in your bed can be out of this world
But I don’t give a damn about that
Why’d you mind?
Ever since you looked at me,
Said, “Do you really like music like that?”
I’m upside down
I’m upside down
Listen here, I am drunk again
Waiting for a word from you
When you’re walking out that door
I ran ahead of you
I can’t stop loving you
Oh yeah, oh yeah, all right
I’m upside down
I am upside down
And here I am on bended knees
Waiting for a word from you
To knock me down, hand me your hand
The hand that threw a kind woo
I can’t stop loving you
SONG INFORMATION
Released: 1990
Found on: 1990 Summer Demo
“Upside Down” was recorded and included on a 1990 demo. At the time, the band had stopped using the name On A Friday and had temporarily settled on Shindig, but that was soon dropped and they reverted back to On A Friday before ultimately choosing Radiohead in 1992.
Because Phil Selway was temporarily living in Ireland at the time, the band used a Portastudio 4-track and a drum machine.
