The Beautiful South & The Housemartins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you ready Are you ready
Are you ready Are you ready
Are you ready for the time of your life
It's time to stand up and fight
It's alright It's alright
Hand in hand we take a caravan to the mother land
One by one we gonna stand up with pride
One that can't be denied
Stand up Stand up
From the highest mountain, valley low
We'll join together with hearts of gold
Now the children of the world can see
This is a better place for us to be
The place in which we were born
So neglected and torn apart

Every woman every man
Join the caravan of love
(Stand up) stand up
Stand up
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love
(Stand up) stand up
Stand up

I'm your brother
I'm your brother don't you know
She's my sister
She's my sister don't you know

We'll be living in a world of peace
And the day when everyone is free
We'll bring the young and the old
Won't you let your love flow, from your heart

Every woman every man
Join the caravan of love
(Stand up) stand up
Stand up
Every body take a stand
Join the caravan of love
(Stand up) stand up
Stand up

I'm your brother
I'm your brother don't you know
She's my sister
She's my sister don't you know

So are you ready ( he's coming )
Are you ready ( he's coming )
Are you ready ( he's coming )
Are you ready ( he's coming on the caravan )
You better get ready ( go for it )
You better get ready ( go for it )




You better get ready ( go for it )
You better get ready

Me and my best mate were a bit stoned one night flicking through music channels (must have been around 2009) this comes on and we were in tears of laughter, it became our anthem and we used to sing it whilst trying to also do the harmonising. He passed a couple of months ago of a brain tumour so this song hits even stronger now ❤

The song just randomly came into my head. Hadn't heard this since I was a child... I was born in 1984 and remember it being played when I was a child. Nice song :)
