wake up (make a move)

Wake Up (Make a Move) is the third single from Start Something, the second album by the Welsh rock band lostprophets. This single was under much debate up to it coming out, both lostprophets and their N Prime management wanted the dark, brooding "Make A Move" as a single whereas the label wanted the poppier, catchier "I Don't Know". The band and their management walked away victorious from this battle of wills and the song was released as a single with the modified title "Wake Up (Make A Move)". However, "I Don't Know" was later released for radio airplay in the USA.

Upsticks and Move on.

1) To permanently leave an area, job, country etc.

2) To Make a quick getaway.

3) When it's time to explore pastures new.

The term is widely used by the traveller community when it's time for them to move on. It originally stems from American Indian culture, where they would have to pack up their camp and move to another area. Their Tepi (tent) would be constructed by inserting around 12 very long sticks into the ground and then bundled together at the top, cloth or animal hide was draped over the top to create a shelter. When it was time to move on they would just pull up the sticks from the ground and the Tepi would just fold in on itself, making it easy for them to make a quick getaway.

1) Employee: "This Company is getting worse and worse, I think it's time for me to Upsticks and Move on."

2) When the police knock your door.
Policeman: We're here to arrest John Smith."
Housemate: "Sorry mate, he moved out 2 weeks ago."
Policeman: "where is he living now?"
Housemate: "No idea mate, he left in the night, just upsticked and moved on."

3) Traveller: "I've just got wind that the council are coming to evict us tomorrow, so get your things together it's time to Upsticks and Move on."
