The Upsetter Lyrics

I've gotta beam my message to you
Straight from the satellite
Cause, girl, we're meant to be together
Yeah girl, we're meant to be together
I'm back out on the Riviera
It got so cold at night

I've gotta beam my message to you
I've gotta beam my message to you
I've gotta beam my message to you

I should've known from the call that you let out
You're not alone and you're still in love
And everyone says that I'm the upsetter
But I'm alone and I'm so in love

I've got it bad
And now this heart beats black
So black
Oh yeah

Reliving 1992 here
Playing "Sleeping Satellite"
Playing Prince and Deacon Blue, yeah
Playing "I Will Always Love You", yeah
But when I think of me and you
Get shivers down my spine

I've gotta beam my message to you
I've gotta beam my message to you

I should've known from the call that you let out
You're not alone and you're still in love
And everyone says that I'm the upsetter
But I'm alone and I'm so in love

I've got it bad
And now this heart beats black
So black
Oh yeah

I should've known from the call that you let out
You're not alone and you're still in love
And everyone says that I'm the upsetter
But I'm alone and I'm so in love

I've got it bad
And now this heart beats black
So black
Oh yeah

You really giving me a hard time tonight
You really giving me a hard time tonight
Why you giving me a hard time tonight?

You really giving me a hard time tonight
You really giving me a hard time tonight
You really giving me a hard time tonight
Why you giving me a hard time tonight?

You really giving me a hard time tonight

What is the Meaning of The Upsetter?

Oh, the trials and tribulations of love! This tune is a cosmic call to a lost lover, beaming messages straight from the heart. Our protagonist is the 'upsetter', painting himself as the bad guy even though he's just a lovesick fool. He's stuck in a time warp, reliving the past with nostalgic tunes that remind him of better times. His heart now beats black - a dramatic metaphor for his melancholy state. And yet, despite his heartache, he can't help but question why he's being given such a hard time. Ah, the eternal question of unrequited love! So next time you're feeling down in the dumps about your love life, remember our friend here - at least you're not having to beam your messages via satellite!
