Cover art for Up On The Downside lyrics by Ocean Colour Scene

This is a class song. I bought this album just before a uni interview years ago I listened to this song moments before going in to lift my spirits.Didnt get into that one it turned out lol....anayways...

I kind of agree with what tigertour is saying To me it starts with how we are born in to a crazy world with no knowledge of right/wrong and unaware of what we will later become.

Then it explains how we believe in what we hear, without looking at the bigger picture ourselves "blind comunications" and dont have chance to voice what we deeply feel, which inturn sends us down crazy paths in life inwhich we are judged and judge others

Then it explains how he now feels, being older and much more life experienced ..."Hello Monday The weekend’s just a blur".

"I've been burning bridges And now I'm begging at your door"...Is all about how hes turning a new leaf.
