Eurovision

The Eurovision Song Contest is an international TV song competition which is held every year among the member countries of the European Broadcasting Union since 1956.

Each participating country presents an original song which is performed on live television and radio and then votes for the other countries' songs to determine the most popular song in the competition. Ireland holds the record for the highest number of wins, having won the contest seven times.

Making your mind up, by Bucks Fizz, was the song which won the 1981 Eurovision Contest for Great Britain.

You gotta speed it up
and then you gotta slow it down
'cos if you believe that a love can hit the top
you gotta play around
and soon you will find that there comes a time for making your mind up
you gotta turn it up
and then you gotta cool it down
you gotta be sure that it's something everybody's gonna talk about
before you decide the time's right 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 will turn out right
and when you 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
then the rules of the game
will let you find the one you're looking for
and then you can show you think you know
that 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
and then you gotta slow it down
'cos if you believe that a love can hit the top
you gotta play around
and soon you will find that there comes a time for making your mind up

And now you really gotta speed it up
and then you gotta slow it down
'cos if you believe that a love can hit the top
you gotta play around
and soon you will find that there comes a time for making your mind up

For making your mind up
