Make It Happen

About Make It Happen

"Make It Happen" is a dance/rock song written and performed by the Bernard Sumner/Johnny Marr band Electronic. Produced by Electronic with Arthur Baker, it is the first track on their third album Twisted Tenderness. Sumner and Marr both contribute vocals and guitar, while Jimi Goodwin from Doves provides bass and Jed Lynch plays drums and percussion. Merv de Peyer is credited with programming and keyboards plus audio mixing. Arthur Baker with scratching. Intended as the first single from the album (an honour which went to "Vivid"), "Make It Happen" was eventually issued as a promotional 10" single on clear vinyl, like the previous promo "Prodigal Son". This featured an Ice-T sample that was cut from the album version due to a clearance problem. Around eleven seconds longer, it had been released on promo versions of the album but the legal issues had prevented its inclusion on the commercial edition. The version with the sample did appear on Electronic's last single "Late at Night", however. more »

Sometimes we find ourselves
Looking for something new
We stand outside ourselves 
Not knowing quite what we should do 

I am in debt to you 
I owe respect to you
But you've got to learn it's gonna turn, 
Into neglect for you 

And though 
You caught me naked 
I didn't enjoy it 
In fact I regret it 

[Chorus]
Let's make it happen 
Why can't you understand 
I am a fraction 
A part of a broken man 

I hope you understand 
It's part of my action plan 
To bury you in the sand 
The tide's gonna turn 

When will you learn 
To stop hiding inside yourself 
I bet you wish you were someone else 
Tell me when will you learn 

The day's getting longer 
And you're getting common sense 
So get right down off that fence 
Ain't it time that you turned 

And though 
You got me thinking 
You could be faking 
Your ego's inflated and I'm sick of waiting 

[Chorus: x2]

My soul is in rapture 
If only we could both hold on 
Let's cause a reaction 
Just like you know we should.
