Not Up To You Lyrics

Salt grips the road awaits his lift again
Street orange glow shades the odds against
One more sip a shoe a miss a shaving nick.
One extra kiss, whose to know whatever !

Not up to me, Not up to you

Swings don't swing the parks been dead for years
How do you know the last swing weren't your last for good
Hard book on freaks, fresh summer peach, creased magazine
Sugar chocolate treat whose to know whatever !

Not up to me, not up to you

The streets so long where she lost her pocket purse
Keep the last picture of the man she committed first
Cracked windscreen rain french murder play, junk take away
Tired street parades who's to know whatever !

Not up to me, not up to you. Not up to anything we do.

definitely one of kelly's best choruses. Not overly complex, but sung very very well.

this is the phonics at there best. the song for me is about an affair with a married women. the line "Keep the last picture of the man she committed first"

i hav to say I LOVE this song. For me this song is about never knowing whats going to happen in your life, youl never know whats around the next corner until your there. The lyrics "How do you know the last swing weren't your last for good" and "whos to know, watever, not upto me, not upto you" I think this is just saying that in the end we dont really have full control over our lives and we cnt say anything is certain, beacause we dont know for sure what will happen tomorrow. A sad but realistic veiw, I cld really relate with this song

this song is about a guy waiting for his lift to work one morning in aberdare and a wheel came off a truck and killed him. "one extra kiss, one shaving nick" hes saying that one extra kiss would have made him late and he prob wont have been killed! awesome song!!

This such an awesome song. You really have to listen to the acoustic version, its perfect!

Excellent song, very emotional. Seems to be talking about our choices in life, do they really make a difference? Would it have made a difference to the man waiting for a lift in the morning to linger a moment longer for a kiss from his lover or taken another sip of coffee? Would it have changed the outcome?

You ask yourself these questions, would it have made a difference, but these things aren't up to us and you can go insane asking these questions.
