Up!

We’ve gotta get up

We gotta get up

The economies down

We may hate Gordon Brown

But we’ve gotta get up

This is England calling

England calling

And we gotta get up

The markets may crash

Savings they may trash

And we’re all outta cash

But we’ve gotta get up

We gotta get up

We may be suing for divorce

Our whole life may be way off course

But we’ve gotta get up

We gotta get up

We’re alive and we’re moving

Someone’s heart we could be soothing

So we’ve gotta get up

We gotta get up

Our lovers may not love us

Our kids they may disown us

Half the time we don’t feel grown up

But we’ve gotta get up

We gotta get up

Our jobs may be the pits

9 to 5 may feel like shit

But we’ve gotta get up

We gotta get up

That sun keeps on rising

And we’re always enterprising

We’re great at compromising

And we’ve gotta get up

We gotta get up

Set your eye on the horizon

Set your sights on simply rising

Set your heart on being happy

Set your mind on exceeding all that’s crappy

We’re gonna get up

We gonna get up

Sell your cast-offs on ebay

Generate cash in some new way

Sell your skills on the superhighway

We’re gonna get up

We gonna get up

This is the year of new beginnings

Although politicians keep on sinning

The economy may be sinking

We’re gonna be winning

We gonna be winning

We gonna get up

◄ Ink lies seeping

Education, my measure ►

Awwww, thanx Moira, only saw my name at the end as I read down! I was going to say 'Moira for PM' anyway!!

I like your attitude, hope Pete's read it. I'm okay if you're concerned after reading my poem, it comes and goes!

Keep on writing, good fun and really like what I've seen so far but where's your pic, not seen that! Ha! Jeff X
