Get Yourself Together
The Jam Lyrics

The Jam's song "Get Yourself Together" is a story of unrequited love and the need to move on. The lyrics begin with the singer being told by their love interest that they miss their previous relationship, which can be seen by the way they kiss their partner. The singer then proceeds to advise their friend to get over their ex and move on, suggesting that they will be alright if they do so. The singer identifies with their friend and self-identifies as someone who can help them through the tough period of moving on. The song's message is clear - while love can be difficult and painful, it's important to remember that eventually, you'll move on, and everything will be alright.

One of the interesting facts about this song is that it was actually recorded twice by The Jam. The first time was in 1978 for their second album, "All Mod Cons," but the recording was scrapped by the band. The second recording was done in 1979 and was released as B-side on the single "The Eton Rifles." Another interesting fact is that The Jam is well-known for their powerful and socially relevant lyrics, and "Get Yourself Together" is no different. Frontman Paul Weller wrote the song when he was just 19 years old, but it's a timeless message that resonates with people of all ages.

Another interesting fact is that The Jam performed "Get Yourself Together" live on the BBC program "Old Grey Whistle Test" in 1979. The performance was so well-received that it helped to propel the band to fame in the UK. In addition to this performance, The Jam also performed the song on their first-ever national TV appearance on "Top Of The Pops."

Verse: G, D, C, D
