People Get Ready
Page Beck and Clapton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ready, get ready. Ready.
He's a man who's going to break your heart.
Ready, get ready. Ready.
He's a man who's going to break your heart.
Well, you've been fooling 'round and I don't know why.
Left me on my own, sitting high and dry.
You can't do those things that you're doing to me.
[Chorus]
I've never needed a running 'round pissing hound,
Checking out the bitches in heat.
You've got a lot of nerve, dishing out what you serve,
Waggling your piece of meat.
[Chorus]
I want to get revenge on your sinful sins.
I got to get you back for what you did back then.
And now you've got it back, life is misery.
Well, ha ha ha to you, ha ha to me.
Ready, get ready. Ready.
He's the one that's going to break your heart.
Ready, get ready. Ready.
He's the one that's going to break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart.
Get ready, get ready, get ready.
He's the one who's going to break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart.
Get ready, get ready, get ready.
'Cause he's the one who's going to break your heart, break your heart,
Break your heart, break your heart.
The lyrics to Page Beck and Clapton's song People Get Ready seem to be about a breakup and the desire for revenge on the person who ended the relationship. The chorus repeats "ready, get ready" as if in preparation for the heartbreak that's about to come. The lyrics go on to describe how the person being sung to has been "fooling 'round" and left the singer "sitting high and dry." The singer wants to get revenge on this person, claiming "you can't do those things you're doing to me."
The second verse of the song uses aggressive language to describe the desires of the singer. He claims that he doesn't need a "running 'round pissing hound," referring to the person he's singing to, and continues on to say that they have a lot of nerve and that their behavior has caused misery in the singer's life. The chorus repeats twice more, each time building in intensity, until it ends with the rather ominous claim that "he's the one who's going to break your heart."
Overall, the song seems to be a warning or a threat to someone who's hurt the singer in the past. The repeated use of the phrase "ready, get ready" implies that something is about to happen, and the aggressive language used in the verses suggests that the singer is primed for revenge. While it's not entirely clear what happened between the two people, the song paints a picture of a toxic relationship full of betrayal and anger.

@johnnyroyblues
Wonderful laid back performance! The guitars really compliment one another and Rod Stewart is Superb!
@greenbudkelly2820
Rod Stewart sounds great
@danpritchett5617
I've watched a number of these Tribute to Jeff Beck videos. And my hat is off to Rod Stewart. He was the only one up there with no guitar and the only pure vocalist. He made it work.
@JPs_Music_Channel
Rod was definitely incredible. Check out Imelda May who was vocals only… she was terrific as well.
@kathif17
Gary Clark Jr nailed this down he made this great. I love all on stage but this shows Gary's talent on the fly. I saw him in Concert in May no rehearsal for this. Lord knows I wish I had been there to see this live. It was all for Jeff. 😢 I still can't beleive he is gone I saw him last year.❤😢 fly Jeff fly.
@ALNlemtor
My fav and Rod Steward is still so great. The last part just cracked me up LOL Clapton' no clue but humble to admit it gesture. RIP Jeff Beck.
@kendouble9705
My god I’m nearly in tears. What a beautiful performance. Rod and Gary get a room already! Better still, make a record.
@susanacallejas7134
Rod Stewart and Ron Wood are just great
@hannaj4032
He was so cute at the Platinum Jubilee Concert. He always showed up for his Queen and his friends!
