Review

January, 12th 2017

This is Rhythm and Blues by Young Fathers. The scattered rhythm is not a matter of our liking and the storyline as totally absent. No, they tell some words indeed and there are many of them, but there is no story behind – every new line is something separated as if they told about segmented issues, not connected to each other at all. For example, how a bunch of cowboys connected to a person, abandoned by a suffragette, and how these both tied with decadent clothes and shadow of a beacon? So this is rather the telling of a person, who wanted to merge everything in one song as if was his last chance. Reference: Track Exclusive - Young Fathers, 'Get Up' NME.com

Get Up Song Lyrics

[Hook]

Come here and do the right thing

Get up and have a party

Get up

Come here and do the right thing

Get up and have a party

Get up

Got no past, no future

Fumbling through the ether

Take a ride in Aquila

Cost you 30 liras

Pushy dealer hits the meter

A shrewd operator

In the shadow of a beacon

Have a dirty weekend

Interesting proposition

Insinuate then listen

Listen listen

What a way to make a living

S-s-scissor to the ribbon

Throw my hands like a reverend

Triple sixes, double sevens

When I get down to this

I'm the catalyst

For a revolution

For a revolution-tion-tion-tion

[Hook]

Come here and do the right thing

Get up and have a party

Get up

Come here and do the right thing

Get up and have a party

Get up

Beautiful corpse

Beautiful

How you lie so still?

Another life fulfilled

Oh beautiful corpse

Beautiful

How you lie so still

Another life fulfilled

Fifteen hundred red cases

A multitude of faces

The body in the basement

Double on the bunk bed

You better watch the babies

Careful with your manners

Only drinking water on the Co-co-co-cabaña

Well built family

Subject to the battery the battery

Mental men are manic in their manacles

I meant to make a metaphor for radicals

Taking off my clothes at the lido

All I got is my decadent credo

I don't think that I could watch you posing dead

(I don't think I could watch you posing dead!)

Get up

[Hook]

Come here and do the right thing

Get up and have a party

Get up

Abandoned by a suffragette

Given to a gang of gits

Sold to a pack of losers downtown Appalucia

I heard you got guns

Well, I got fun

I got something sweet

What you call sin, so

You lose

I win

(I saw some bunch of cowboys today

I "wooped-di-woo"-ed and they turned and rode away)

Get up

[Hook]

Come here and do the right thing

Get up and have a party

Get up

Come here and do the right thing

Get up and have a party

Get up
