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
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
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!

Rockie of year brought me here
Rookie of the Year great movie so many memorys of my childhood
Great lyrics and PC's amazing voice make this song my favorite motivational song. Love it so much , it's my mobile's ringtone!
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.
INCREDIBLE
one person doesn't want to get up
I'm rewatching Baywatch, song came on in Ep 01 of the second season,ah the nostalgia
Positive motivation!!!
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.
The boat scene in Rookie Of The Year is what I think of when I hear this song.
And Baywatch used it as well.
whats the name of the song about the dinosaurs
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.
What about Paul Carrack? He is the main reason they were as successful as they were
Paul also sang this song, the living years, silent running, and another cup of coffee, so basically all of their most successful songs
Please never forget the beauty of Paul Young's voice
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 :)
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.
I Love This Song
+Alden Davis good man,so do i.
Rookie of the Year!! The infamous boat ride scene, with all the smoke lol.
Infamous? I didn't think it was a bad scene.
so you coming or what?
I loved the movie and the boat scene who can ever forget that moment
Josh 88 smiles..... yea!
Great Song! Rookie of the year!
+Dan Bach (TheBachknight) That is where I first heard it as well. I love this song.
One of my favorite movie
Magnificent !
Absolutely magnificently
One of their greatest
What a superb song
Love this song ever since I heard it on the movie Rookie of the Year
The entire album was one of my all time favs! Why this one song didn't get better recognition I will never know.
My favorite Mike and the Mechanics song of all time. Get Up and The Word of Mouth...
