Stand Up (Get Down)

Non-album Single (1988)

Vox (singing): Nick Whitecross
Vox (spoken): Jon Hall
Vox (chorus): Nick, a choir and... maybe Simon?

There's a lot of things, that's not worthwhile
There's a lot of things, that's not worthwhile

Stand up
Stand up
Stand up
Stand up

Every time I look around
I find you're on my mind
But then when I look back again
Say, love is blind
Don't look for trouble, don't look for pain
But every time you're there again
Ooh, you're there again

Ooh, there's a lot of things that's not worthwhile
There's a lot of things, that's not worthwhile
There's a lot of things that's not worthwhile

Stand up
(You don't have to take it)
Stand up
(Stand up for yourself)
Stand up
(There's a lot of things that's not worthwhile)
Stand up

Revolution's what I see
But it don't mean that much to me
Ooh, love to know just what I feel
Don't look for trouble, don't look for pain
But can't believe it's here again
Ooh, you're here again

Ooh, there's a lot of things that's not worthwhile
There's a lot of things, that's not worthwhile
There's a lot of things that's not worthwhile
