I'm On The Up

UB 40 · Cover Up [2001]

Thing's ain't so bad



They sure could be better



Thing's ain't so good



But I'm sure it won't last



Storm clouds above



But I got my umbrella



I would if I could



I can't change the past



[Chorus:]



I'm on the up



My futures tomorrow



Why should I worry



All I've got to find



Is another sad someone



Who'll happily give me



Just enough loving



For their peace of mind.



Things are a drag



But I'll get it together



Things make you strange



But that's how it goes,



I always say sorry



So no one remembers



I caused the pain



When I struck the first blows.



[Chorus]



Things ain't so good



But I'm not complaining



Things could be worse



I don't need to tell you



Hang out your washing



It's gonna start raining



Thunder clouds burst



So tell me whats new.



[Chorus]
