Yardbirds, The - Over, Under, Sideways, Down Lyrics
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Cars and girls are easy come by in this day and age,
Laughing, joking, drinking, smoking,
Till I've spent my wage.
When I was young people spoke of immorality,
Are what I want to be.
(Hey)
Over under sideways down,
(Hey)
Backwards forwards square and round.
(Hey)
Over under sideways down,
(Hey)
Backwards forwards square and round.
When will it end, when will it end.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
I find comment 'bout my looks irrelativity,
Think I'll go and have some fun,
'Cos it's all for free.
I'm not searching for a reason to enjoy myself,
Seems it's better done,
Than argued with somebody else.
(Hey)
Over under sideways down,
(Hey)
Backwards forwards square and round.
(Hey)
Over under sideways down,
(Hey)
Backwards forwards square and round.
When will it end, when will it end,
When will it end, when will it end.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Over under sideways down...

Yardbirds, The Over, Under, Sideways, Down Comments
I am so thankful i had the yardbirds rocking me out when i was growing up!
Incredibile come questo brano sia della metà dei 60 io lo definirei un rock blues che già mostra forme psichedeliche qualche anno prima dell'arrivo del movimento Brano originale e brillante avanti per l'epoca in cui lo realizzarono
🤘🤘🤘
Any Observe and Report fans?
Still loving the Best music in 2020🎸🎼🎶🎵🎹
My old friend Mike Vernon used to sub for Keith Relf with The Yardbirds whenever Keith's asthma was too bad - Mike later produced the seminal "Beano" album with John Mayall and Eric Clapton and then in the '70's he had several hits himself singing with The Olympic Runners. Best, Pete.
Very good and fast moving song.
This was far ahead of anything that Pete Townshend was doing in 1966!
1966 was pivotal when pop divided in to rock. Jon Savage's book 1966 is a must read. By the end of that year it was soul, Motown and easy listening that dominated the charts
What I like about you
You hold me tight
Tell me I'm the only one
Wanna come over tonight
I love this song. Upbeat and phychedelic
https://circulodelospoetasnegros.bandcamp.com
Way ahead of the game - innovative and massively influential.
which is the guitarist playing that riff--if that is indeed a guitar? I will guess Jeff Beck. Next most likely would be Jimmy Page. Took me some time to figure out what this song in my memory was, but I knew it likely to be Yardbirds.
fingling8 it’s beck
Hey look, Jeff Beck used to have sleeves.
Released in 1966.
That's IT!
These guys were great no matter who was licking their fenders
So far ahead of any band that would use the instruments these guys used! With the three famous guitarist that played in this band....I’m looking at Jimmy and Jeff in this picture and having seen them both multiple times, it goes without saying that they were just bad ass! Keep rocking boys!!?
First time seein them in a dance🏬hall you could hear all the way down the street sound like a run away Train🚅🚄 off the tracks🇬🇧🎤🇬🇧🎤🇬🇧🎤🇬🇧🐾🎤🔌🎸🎸🔌✌
Listen to the words if you can! Says it all even mentions Einstein. Youth anthem of the 60s. Pure rebellion and alienation in search of personal space and fun through music, sex and substances. Yeah came from a movie
Keith Relf - Brian Jones
BAD ASS
SUCH A CAD ASS SONG !!! I LOVE IT !
That guitar lead sounds Moroccan or something......
One would be hard pressed to argue with that. A bit later the string lineup with original Fleetwood Mac was awesome.
My bad….this should have been posted below Joseph Cottone reply!
I've seen Jeff Beck a few times, but not with the Yardbirds, I did get to see Jimmy Page with the Yardbirds..
Yardbirds need to quit eating guitar players
I loved them then. I still love them.
Saw Yardbirds and many other bands' live performances before they became icons.Spring thru fall of 1965, teen nightclubs(Band Canyon in Bay City and Daniel's Den in Saginaw)booked many of these fledgling bands that were gaining popularity at that time.If I'd only had an 8mm and a crystal ball.Nonetheless an unforgettable experience I shared with hundreds of other teens who would now be in their 70's.The music and memories live on.
Spark it up man!
I wish it on every song it would say who the guitarist was. I swear its jimmy but on these pictures it just shows eric except one
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Yardbirds were FANTASTIC...
hes talkin a song
Back in the day this was the stuff. I really like flipped out over these English cats playing really cool tunes.
Observe and report 😂
probably better then the Bea Groups
Great tune
Fav guitar lick as a lad ...Thank you Bill Randall, DJ for opening your literature talk show with this tune legendary innovative possessed sound.
Thanks also for bringing Elvis to Cleveland in 1955. By 1958 Elvis was pure drek, cheese, millfed
The birth of Psychedelia right here....TJ STRUSKA
Love the bass. Maybe if they had called themselves the Yardbeatles .
Every time I hear this song I think of denis from observe and report chasing after the skateboarders after fucking up the other lol
The band didn't have a long history but the albums that came out, and the songs, and the three guitarists that went on to become super stars are now legends in their own right. RIP Keith Relf and thanks for forming the Yardbirds.
"Sometimes... I drink out of volcano. I know how, to deal with the system... I know how to fucks with it." LOL such a great line.
Dragunov38 sounds like a trump voter
@Barry Obama Observe and report...
Jeff beck and Jimmy page two awesome guitar players
jimmy page didn't play on this.
@nyg1954 that's Jimmy page on guitar lead defetneatly !!!
Jimmy Rodas Molestina no this song was recorded in May 1966, Page didn’t join the band until June 1966.
@Jimmy Rodas Molestina beck and page played together on only 3 songs:happenings ten years time ago, psycho daisies and stroll on from the movie blow up.
That guitar almost sounds like a synth super trippy and futuristic
Jeff Beck is the best friend a rock song ever had
Observe and Report 🤘
Brilliant. Should have got further than #10. Top 20 in the USA. June 1966, ahead of its time by The Yardbirds.
Cool showing pics of them at different times with Beck, Clapton and Page. Helluva band!
Una de mis bandas favoritas realmente son ùnicos, grandiosos Yardbirds
60s music doesnt mess - nice and raw......
Great song 👌
Can I put you in my pocket
Yardbirds were great
thanks van morrison great band
😎😎😎
😍🎶👍❤️
A lot better sound in this cut than some other Yardbird posts.
these Mid-Late 60s songs are the best
They were never underrated. In Canada they were yooge!
Heard this for the first time recently and can't stop listening to it atm. It's brilliant
One of my favorite tunes by the yardbirds !!!
британский ритм-энд-блюз = British Rhytm-&-Blues Music = British Rhytm-and-Blues Music = British R&B Music
Featuring Clapton, Beck, and Page. Had they stayed together they would of superceeded The Beatles. Way more complex musically.
"Over under, sideways down..backwards, forwards, square is round....hey!"
I heard this for the first time in 66. Look where they all went from there, timeless superstars.
I’m not gonna lie to you Ronnie.
There’s nothing good about this at all.
- Observe & Report
( If you know, you know)
The Yardbirds were a very influential band,Clapton, Beck, & Page.
I walk in a time machine. It's 1966. I walk around, I see Jimmy Page.
Lol
Yes. But then you are not looking at Yardbirds, but in a record studio where he worked as a session musician.
It's such a strange brilliant song...I love it.
raga rock
Is Clapton with the group during this song? Anyone know?
No. He is not on anything after "For your love".
The YARDBIRDS gave us 3 of the greatest guitarist to come out of the BRITISH INVASION.
Jeff Beck,Jimmy Page,Eric Clapton...Although I was a bigger fan of ten years after and Alvin Lee..
@Randy Elliott
Sounds good!
Album The Yardbirds - Over,Under, Sideways, Down ( England version-Roger Engineer) my favorite
album 1966. I respect so much Jeff Beck....fantastic!
Joseph Cottone I agree! Now outside Europe will be American invasion? The hate Europe invasion? Obsession? What?
Really? Who were they.
Part of that English invasion and Lord, how they did.
Awesome band !!!
I've been a fan of The Yardbirds since 1965 when I first heard Heart Full Of Soul on local radio.
My favorite.band..
I've always felt a song should take you somewhere in your mind wherever that may be. It's what makes the best songs. This song definitely takes you somewhere. What a great tune from the past.

the "kind" from the day.....
I LOVE this era of blues-rock. It feels like psychedelic in BLACK AND WHITE!
Some of Page's pictures from this band have obviously been brushed up later, but I'm not complaining.
Heroin brought me here ☻
I met Jim McCarty about 30 years ago. He was at a record sale and promoting his new Group. I said, "So you got to play with Jimmy Page." He just nodded kinda bored like.
these guys are pure magic ....long live the 60s era what a fine taste of music we had it was sublime joy lol
Top of the Hasidic pops.
best british band ever
One of my very favorite "British Invasion" groups. Were blues-rock geniuses, and definitely ahead of their time. I'm almost 70, and still can't get enough of this song!
I have an old Yardbirds Greatest Hits album and I could never figure out why this song's not on it. This was a pretty U.S. big hit in its day. More so than their blues. Maybe they couldn't get the rights?
Observe and report brought me here
Most exciting band for a couple of years when they had Beck and Page.
Observe and Report. 🔥
Too short! Always wished this song was longer.
Which one is Jimmy Page?
No 2 from the left. But he is actually not on this record at all.
Excellent!
