To launch their new album METROPOLIS; Bristolās own Cut Capers now embark upon their first ever UK album tour playing some of the UKās finest venues!

Get Movin'
Cut Capers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back to the place where the time is at.
Swinging my hips to the music that sounds worthy of an Ella scat.
If past is prologue, write it down and
Trespass on those vintage sounds.
The futures far donā²t take your bow,
Get moving feet don't fail me now
Donā²t fail me now
Don't fail me now
Donā²t fail me now. Donā²t fail me now,
Don't fail me now,
Get movinā² feet don't fail me now
I said feet donā²t fail me now!
I go back and forth, dance with a grin,
Take a look around and drink the energy in.
Say what you want don't mean a thing
Cos Iā²m just gonna sing sing sing.
The gentle crackle that you hear
When records spin in their first gear
Is from a language with no bounds
Get moving feet don't fail me now
Don't fail me now
Donā²t fail me now
Donā²t fail me now
Don't fail me now. Donā²t fail me now,
Don't fail me now,
Get movinā² feet don't fail me now
I said feet donā²t fail me now!
Check yo I need to focus
Desk job mediocre, poker face
Wearing a mask like the joker
The screen coma I'm overdosing on my smart phone
It's another loner, the complex city roamer
Neanderthal
The random fool who kicks shots at the world and demands it all
I be that night owl
Iā²m walkin round with a white towel
Drinkin in the pubs till the alcoholā²s wiped out
(Spanish Rap)
I go back and forth, dance with a grin,
Take a look around and drink the energy in.
Say what you want don't mean a thing
Cos Iā²m just gonna sing sing sing.
The gentle crackle that you hear
When records spin in their first gear
Is from a language with no bounds
Get moving feet don't fail me now
Donā²t fail me now
Don't fail me now
Donā²t fail me now
Don't fail me now. Don't fail me now,
Donā²t fail me now,
Get movinā² feet don't fail me
Now!
The song "Get Movin" by Cut Capers exudes a vibrant energy that is infused with jazz and funk elements. The main message of the song is about seizing opportunities and moving forward in life despite obstacles that may come along the way. The lyrics suggest that sometimes in order to move forward, one must reflect on the past, take inspiration from it, and then use that energy to get up and dance.
The opening lyrics "I go back and forth, forced to go back, back to the place where the time is at" likely suggests a reflection on the past, a place in time that holds memories that are still influencing the present. Then "swinging my hips to the music sounds worthy of an Ella scat" means that the singer is taking inspiration from jazz legend Ella Fitzgerald and still dancing to her music.
The lyrics "If past is prologue, write it down and trespass on those vintage sounds" suggest that the past should be used as inspiration to create new music, as the influence of classics like Ella Fitzgerald endures through time. The refrain "Get moving feet don't fail me now" repeated throughout the song, is a call to action to get up and dance through life, acknowledging that challenges will come along the way, but not to falter in the face of them.
Overall "Get Movin" is a song about taking inspiration from the past to move forward and to continue dancing to life's beat regardless of obstacles that may come along.

la pluma es mi arma; tiene mas poder que la bala pues la palabra cuando daƱa duele pero no sangra,
pƔsame el vaso que tienes al lado en el lago de tinta me veo reflejado, no tiemblan mis piernas si subo al estrado,
yo sigo acoplado en el ritmo alocado, las clavo!

Just found this on an Electro Swing mix and holy fuck it's unbelievable. I didn't bother listening to the rest of the mix 'cause I knew it wouldn't hold up to this. Y'all are incredible.

Yeah good point. Nah I just found it funny that I wasnāt the only one who found this song because of that mix.
