Making your mind up (Bucks Fizz)

You gotta speed it up
And then you gotta slow it down
'Cause if you believe that our love can hit the top
You gotta play around
But soon you will find that there comes a time
For making your mind up

You gotta turn it on
And then you gotta put it out
You gotta be sure that it's something
Everybody's gonna talk about
Before you decide that the time's arrived
For making your mind up

Don't let your indecision
Take you from behind
Trust your inner vision
Don't let others change your mind

And now you really gotta burn it up
And make another fly by night
Get a run for your money and take a chance
And it'll turn out right
But when you can see how it's gotta be
You're making your mind up

And try to look as if you don't care less
But if you wanna see some more
Bending the rules of the game
Will let you find the one you're looking for
And then you can show that you think you know
You're making your mind up

Don't let your indecision
Take you from behind
Trust your inner vision
Don't let others change your mind

And now you really gotta speed it up (speed it up)
And then you gotta slow it down (slow it down)
'Cause if you believe that our love can hit the top
You gotta play around
But soon you will find that there comes a time
For making your mind up

1. I am not quite good at making decisions. Sometimes I decide too fast, but I don't like wasting time.

2. Too much meetings, emails and tasks to solve. Sometimes I finish the day completely exahusted.

3. Ben-Hur is a good movie, but much too long for me.

4. Bureaucracy in Spain. Everything takes too much time and it's very complicated.

5. My laptop is too expensive, but I always end up buying one of the best.

6. I've been meaning to improve my English, but I always have an excuse for not studying hard.

7. I always leave them for tomorrow the paperwork and boring things.

8. During the week I wake up so early, so at weekends I need having a lie-in.

9. I usually look for a terrace with trees and have a cold beer.

10. Umm yes, but as a creative, I get inspiration from other people's work.

11. Because people don't want problems, sometimes it's easier to do /touch nothing.

12. Rome is an amazing city, but there are too many tourists everywhere.

13. Hopefully, AI will truly help us have a better life and more free time.

14. With a good friend, I tell everything. With other people, just "All good, the weather is going to be nice.. ;)!"

Hi Juanmi,

It makes a change to see someone else other than José make use of the blog.

1. I am not good enough at making decisions. Sometimes I decide / make up my mind too fast, but that's because I don't like wasting time.

2. A typical hectic day is made up of too many meetings, emails and tasks to complete. Sometimes I finish the day completely exhausted.

3. Ben-Hur is a good movie but much too long for me. 😍

4. Bureaucracy in Spain. Everything takes too much time and it's very complicated. nothing is straightforward. 😍

5. My laptop is too expensive, but I always end up buying one of the best. 😍 (I just want a laptop, a mobile and any gadget or appliance to last for years - just like things did in the past)

6. I've been meaning to improve my English, but I always have an excuse for not studying hard. 😍 (Don't worry - I am the same. I keep meaning to do things but in the end I never get round to doing them.

7. I always leave paperwork and boring things for another day. 😍 (Just like me with invoice and the like.)

8. During the week I wake up so early so at weekends I need to have a lie-in. (My hair needs cutting = My hair needs to be cut)

9. I usually look for a terrace with trees and have a cold beer. 😍

10. Umm yes, but as a creative, I get inspiration from other people's work. 😍 (get inspiration = being a copycat haha)

11. Because people don't want problems, sometimes it's easier to do /touch nothing. 😍 (Sometimes you can't turn a blind eye. If somebody is doing something wrong (i.e. committing some sort of offence) or somebody needs help, it is our duty to intervene.)

12. Rome is an amazing city, but there are too many tourists everywhere. (When I lived in Rome, there were tourists but nothing like the last time I was there in 2022 for the marathon. I got the same feeling in Barcelona - overwhelmed by tourism)

13. Hopefully, AI will truly help us have a better life and more free time. 😍 (I doubt it. There are times that I hope, like the dinosaurs, the human species will be wiped out and the world will be a much better place.)

14. With a good friend, I tell everything. With other people, just "All good, the weather is going to be nice.. ;)!" 😍 (Well, you've divulged a fair amount to me haha)
