This picture of Hugh is what I saw in the mirror in 1986, until I started brushing back my hair, wearing leathers, an ear-ring, slim jeans, and sneakers when I (belatedly) discovered the Sex Pistols. I still have the two Housemartins albums, and I still love them. They helped make my bad experiences as a youth bearable. I thank them for their work and their lovely, catchy, thoughtful music.
Well said! I have this on cassette, CD and Spotify! Though this is much better than the album version where the intro is only keyboard, and no superb hi-hat moves!
The most truthful song ever written that is so much apparent today , by one of the best song writers this country has produced.
I’m 54 , loved the housemartins , my 14 year old twins absolutely love them also obviously down to me playing them non stop
Brilliant. Heaton’s social commentary is virtually untouchable. Succinct.
One of my favourite songs ever...
Wow what a extreamly rare recording of this song . Thanks for uploading it.
What a live ! Big love, enormous band.
Fantastic song.
Delicate and visceral. The Housemartins.
So true!! Every disaster or crisis, please can you donate? I’m poor why are you asking me? Try knocking on the doors of the rich!!
Great song. Great group. Love the house Martins.

Waiting for the masses to have their flag day soon with the monarchy having jubilee celebrations while people are starving. Wrong on all levels.
4th best band in the world.

3rd best band in Hull....in Paul's own words.
The fish city five
Which the Flight of the Conchords subsequently adapted.
