It's a Mistake - Men At Work

[Swede]

Jump down the shelters to get away
The boys are cockin' up their guns
Tell us general, is it party time?
If it is can we all come

Don't think that we don't know
Don't think that we're not trying
Don't think we move too slow
It's no use after crying
Saying

It's a mistake, it's a mistake
It's a mistake, it's a mistake

After the laughter as died away
And all the boys have had their fun
No surface noise now, not much to say
They've got the bad guys on the run

Don't try to say you're sorry
Don't say he drew his gun
They've gone and grabbed old Ronnie
He's not the only one saying

It's a mistake, it's a mistake
It's a mistake, it's a mistake

Tell us commander, what do you think?
'Cos we know that you love all that power
Is it on then, are we on the brink?
We wish you'd all throw in the towel

We'll not fade out too soon
Not in this finest hour
Whistle your favourite tune
We'll send a card and flower
Saying

It's a mistake, it's a mistake
It's a mistake, it's a mistake

1. I first heard of them when I was working in a record store

in the early 1980s. Customers kept asking about the new "Minutework" album. That's how it sounded to me anyway. :rofl:

Ah, thank you!

I have always loved Men at Work...

3. You should post this in Political Videos!

Pretty relevant...
...just sayin' :popcorn:

4. Actually, I don't think this qualifies for being there...

There are some strict guidelines for those, and this doesn't fit!

:hug:

5. Hey! If someone can post "One Tin Soldier"

You can post this! Yeah! ;)

6. Kryten has these guys programmed into his memory banks

So were they a big success in the late 20th century then?

7. Terrific song

They were one of my favorite bands in the 80's.
