Lyrics Howard Jones

Howard Jones

Stir It Up

From an ordinary life won’t you save me

In this ordinary life don’t want it easy

Will you wake me from this dream

Life on anaesthetic

Let me feel the joy and feel the pain

Let me really live it

No time, no choice

Save my heart from the bland

Oh feed me colour me

Push me through to the place I can make my stand

Don’t want it easy

Rock the boat

And shake the tree

You got to stir it up sometimes

Turn this anger into your passion

Just don’t tow the line

You got to stir it up

You got to stir it up sometimes

You got to stir it up

You got to stir it up sometimes

Just don’t tow the line

Won’t be paralyzed by doubt

We can make the difference

One voice raised against the void

Celebrates it’s own existence

Knock me and I’ll just get up again

Stronger, wiser

The adversary will now become my friend

From an ordinary life won’t you save me

In this ordinary life don’t want it easy

Rock the boat

And shake the tree

You got to stir it up sometimes

Turn this anger into your passion

Just don’t tow the line

You got to stir it up

You got to stir it up sometimes
