Andy Fairweather Low Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That had no place to hide
Thats why Im left with dreams
That take a nose dive
Nothing lasts forever if it stands
Then it must fall
And time is sitting laughing
At us all
Dont be a fool use your head
Not your mouth
Life is to short so dont
Mess it about
Make your mistakes
So they dont get you down
Jump up and turn around
Jump up and turn around
Theres chaos and confusion
Beneath this earth and sky
And its burning my life away
I tell you no lies
Dont be a fool use your head
Not your mouth
Make your mistakes so they dont get you down
Jump up and turn around
Jump up and turn around
Jump up jump up
Jump up and turn around
Jump up jump up
Jump up and turn around x2
Keep your eyes wide open
Dont see things that arent there
Because if you do your life
Will be a nightmare
Dont be a fool use your head
Not your mouth
Life is to short so dont
Mess it about
Make your mistakes so they
Dont get you down
Jump up and turn around
Jump up and turn around. cmx4
In the song "Jump Up And Turn Around" by Andy Fairweather Low, the lyrics suggest a sense of urgency, encouraging the listener to make the most of life's fleeting moments.

The second verse, "There's chaos and confusion beneath this earth and sky, and it's burning my life away I tell you no lies," suggests that the world can be a difficult place to navigate but emphasizes the importance of not giving up.

I flew in on a rainbow
I arrived in an unusual and seemingly impossible way
That had no place to hide
That was visible and had no cover or protection
Thats why Im left with dreams
As a result, I am left with only my dreams and aspirations
That take a nose dive
But my dreams are often shattered and ruined
Nothing lasts forever if it stands
Everything is temporary and has a finite lifespan, even if it seems strong and enduring
Then it must fall
Eventually, it will come crashing down
And time is sitting laughing
Meanwhile, time is mocking and taunting us
At us all
Laughing at everyone, not just me
Dont be a fool use your head
Think rationally and logically, not impulsively
Not your mouth
Don't speak without thinking first
Life is too short so dont Mess it about
Life is brief, so don't waste it on reckless or foolish behavior
Make your mistakes So they dont get you down
It's inevitable to make mistakes, but don't let them overwhelm or defeat you
Jump up and turn around Jump up and turn around
Shake off your mistakes and move on
Theres chaos and confusion Beneath this earth and sky
The world is full of unpredictability and instability
And its burning my life away I tell you no lies
It's harming and draining me, I'm not exaggerating
Keep your eyes wide open
Stay alert and aware of your surroundings
Dont see things that arent there
Don't imagine things that don't exist or aren't real
Because if you do your life Will be a nightmare
If you let your imagination control you, your life will be filled with fear and anxiety
Jump up and turn around Jump up and turn around
Don't let your fears consume you, shake them off and keep moving forward
Jump up jump up Jump up and turn around Jump up jump up Jump up and turn around x2
Repeating the previous message about overcoming fears and bouncing back from mistakes

CLASSIC
t.y everything is good return
男臭いギターサウンド満載のファンキーロック♪最初に聴いたとき、近藤房之助がよくcoverしているブルースナンバーの「travelling」に似ているな~と思いました(多分コード進行は一緒?)(^^)
