Making Your Mind Up
Buck´s Fizz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And then you gotta slow it down
'Cause if you believe that a love can hit the top
You gotta play around
And soon you will find
That there comes a time
For making your mind up.
And then you gotta pull it out
You gotta be sure that it's something
Everybody's gonna talk about
Before you decide
That the time's all right
For making your mind up.
Don't let your indecision
Take you from behind.
Trust your inner vision
Don't let others change your mind.
And now you really gotta burn it up
And make another flight by night
And run for your money and take a chance
And it'll turn out right
And when you can see how it's gonna be
You're making your mind up.
And try to look as if you don't care less
But if you want to see some more
Then the rules of the game
Will let you find the one you're looking for
And then you can show that you think you know
You're making your mind up.
Don't let your indecision
Take you from behind.
Trust your inner vision
Don't let others change your mind.
And now you really gotta speed it up...
And now you really gotta speed it up...
For making your mind up.
For making your mind up.
For making your mind up.

The Original Wiggles 🤔
@barrydelisle4453
This band is not the original Wiggles as the Wiggles had released a couple of albums before this group. Also this group is British not Australian. The Wiggles actually came from a band called The Cockroaches

Our PE teacher played this in assembly 1981. ‘Trust your inner vision, don’t let others change your mind.’ It changed my life!

Women sure looked good back in ‘81! Fun time to be alive! I was stationed in England with the USAF then and absolutely loved it.
@lewisner
Many people don't realise that at this time Top Of The Pops had paid dancers and models in the front of the audience. If you watch videos from 1982 you see the same faces and legs time after time.

Arguably one of the most sterling examples of relentless optimism ever committed to record. Absolute, utter perfection.
