Lyrics: Get set

Get set, performed live by Yazoo for a tv show
Get set, performed live by Yazoo for a tv show

Get set

They really tried to bring us down
Things go on for so long
They didn’t want to understand
Didn’t care if we were right or wrong

[chorus]
Get set now
Good times are back

Looks like, looks like we finally made it
Well I’m so glad, that’s courageous
We’ve got the good things
That we paved in

When everything was closing in
I thought you’d find it hard to think
But then I knew we had to win
‘Cause this is nature’s true love’s way

[chorus]

Looks like, ooks like we finally made it
Well I’m so glad, that’s courageous
We’ve got the good things
That we paved in

Get set

When everything was closing in
I thought you’d find it hard to think
But then I knew we had to win
‘Cause this is nature’s true love’s way

[chorus 4x]

Note: This love song, with a melody resembling The other side of love, was written for the BBC tv show Get set for summer. The song has a school-like atmosphere, with the protagonists fearing what others will think of their relationship. Given that the tv show targeted young adults, Alf and Vince struck the right note.
