The Housemartins

The Housemartins were an English indie pop band that was active in the 1980s. Many of the Housemartins' lyrics were a mixture of Marxist politics and Christianity, reflecting singer Paul Heaton's beliefs at the time (the back cover of London 0 Hull 4 contained the message, "Take Jesus - Take Marx - Take Hope"). more »

Well the wall's to wet to sit on 
And there's a curtain right over my head 
Stamp my feet waiting for a bus 
But decide to walk instead 

And the American saxophoner follows me 
All the way from the tele to the public house 
My fingers are always in my ears 
But the reeds always in their mouth 

And if you've ever crossed 
your heart and hoped to die 
The voices in your head saying you must cry 
Then there's more to you than meets the eye 
But if you go about your business with capital be	 
They're sure to cut you up with a capital see 
And then you will be dead with a capital D 

Just step outside 
Well we could stop for a conversasion 
If we could think of anything to say 
But you know you've got nothing to talk about 
When nothing happened yesterday 

And if I ever committed a murder 
I think I'd go about it this way 
Never mine a rope or a dagger and a cloak 
I could spend a week on this estate 

And if you've ever crossed 
your heart and hoped to die 
The voices in your head saying you must cry 
Then there's more to you than meets the eye 
But if you go about your business with capital be	 
They're sure to cut you up with a capital see 
And then you will be dead with a capital A 

Just step outside 
What are you doing tomorrow 
And the day after and the day after that 
Got some money I can borrow? 
I've become the person I've admired 

And if you've ever crossed 
your heart and hoped to die 
The voices in your head saying you must cry 
Then there's more to you than meets the eye 
But if you go about your business with capital be	 
They're sure to cut you up with a capital see 
And then you will be dead with a capital be
