I Get Up Again

Ah... the bounce back from what ever took its toll on you. Well slowly doing that, and many lager drinks, whisky drinks... and vodka drinks later, I'm getting back up again. I'm so very grateful for my Scottish heritage as I still don't suffer hangovers. But no doubt someday it'll catch up with me.

As with so many things. It doesn't matter what happens to you, it matters how you deal with it. It doesn't matter how many times you get knocked down, what does matter is the number of times you get back up.

Here's an old one from Chumbawamba, "Tubthumping".

(The truth is, I thought it mattered)
(I thought that music mattered.)
(But does it? Bollocks! Not compared to how people matter)

(We'll be singing, when we're winning, we'll be singing)

I get knocked down, but I get up again
You nay ever gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You nay ever gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You nay ever gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You nay ever gonna keep me down

(Pissing the night away, pissing the night away)
He drinks a Whiskey drink, he drinks a Vodka drink
He drinks a Lager drink, he drinks a Cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him of the better times
(Oh Danny Boy, Danny Boy, Danny Boy)

I get knocked down, but I get up again
You nay ever gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You nay ever gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You nay ever gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You nay ever gonna keep me down

(Pissing the night away, pissing the night away)
He drinks a Whiskey drink, he drinks a Vodka drink

(Don't cry for me, next door neighbour)
