Mike + The Mechanics - Get Up Lyrics






Do you remember how we used to say
Nothing could ever stand in our way
Well it's no use pretending things are still the same
'Cause we're no longer ahead of the game

Well I've already gone through it all and it's true
If you want to survive there's just one thing to do

[Chorus:]
Get up! and do something
Get up! and take control of your life
Get up! and do something about it
Don't ever make the same mistake twice

Just like a flyer high above the ground
I'm on a tightrope, afraid to look down
Well I'm almost approaching the point of no return
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever learn

Well I've already said that you ought to be proud
Listen, talking is cheap oh but action speaks loud

[Chorus]

All of this time you've been learning to crawl
When you're down on your knees you've got nowhere to fall
Get up!

    From the year I was born 1991 Mike & The Mechanics I love all there songs and music even there song "All I Need Mircale" amazing music early 90s.

  13. S.... R....

    INCREDIBLE

  14. C.... T....

    one person doesn't want to get up

  15. J.... ....

    I'm rewatching Baywatch, song came on in Ep 01 of the second season,ah the nostalgia

  16. n.... ....

    Positive motivation!!!

  17. M.... H....

    I cant help but think about fun times at the lake in summer when hearing this song. Maybe it has something to do with "Rookie of the year"? Don't know, but I just think of summer goodtimes with this song.

    M.... H....

    The boat scene in Rookie Of The Year is what I think of when I hear this song.

    M.... H....

    And Baywatch used it as well.

  18. D.... T....

    whats the name of the song about the dinosaurs

  19. K.... Z....

    I still don't know why Mike and the Mechanics didn't get more airplay. They are such a great group. Mike Rutherford is brilliant and has been a huge influence on many different types of music for decades. You can't forget his contribution to Genesis.

    K.... Z....

    What about Paul Carrack? He is the main reason they were as successful as they were

    K.... Z....

    Paul also sang this song, the living years, silent running, and another cup of coffee, so basically all of their most successful songs

    K.... Z....

    Please never forget the beauty of Paul Young's voice

    K.... Z....

    Took me a while to realise that Paul Young != Paul Young. I used to think they where the same singer, oh how I was wrong :)

    K.... Z....

    Their early success can be thanked due to being spun-off of Genesis. Mike Rutherford was a talented man indeed, but due to a shift in demographics and NIRVANA, bands like Genesis and Mike and the Mechanics suffered greatly in the US as a result. Don't take my emphasis as anything against Nirvana, but they were the shift that resulted in bands like this falling to the wayside in the US. That, and Word of Mouth was not their best outing.

  20. A.... R....

    I Love This Song

    A.... R....

    +Alden Davis good man,so do i.

  21. T.... E....

    Rookie of the Year!! The infamous boat ride scene, with all the smoke lol.
