The Housemartins - We're Not Deep

The Housemartins - We're Not Deep


You can put it down to lack of patience
You can put it down to lack of sleep
But it's in my head to stay in bed
Tucked under the sheets
They said if you try to get on I'd get on
They said there were changes
But now my chance has gone

And I know what you think
What you think about me
Thoughts like that sink home
To you we're not deep

Now it may be a sad reflection
On the way young people feel
But early monday morning
Is losing it's appeal

I open my curtains at 7am
Just so you think I'm up with the rest of the men

And I know what you think
What you think about me
Thoughts like that sink home
To you we're not deep

You'd do yourself a favour if you gave yourself a break
But that's one risk you'd never take
The evenings yours, the mornings mine
But don't knock me, I'm doing fine
You'd do yourself a favour if you gave yourself a rest
But just for now you know what's best

And I know what you think
What you think about me
Thoughts like that sink home
To you we're not deep

well guys it's certainly me in the video. not sure about proving it with a pic. you'll just have to trust me! remember i'm 40 now! ha ha. it was shot on old waste ground between grafton st & alexandra rd in hull. (as per there are houses built on it now).

the housemartins sponsored our U.14's football team for a few years and most of the lads here where team members. the ref was the manager and I still him. if you listen carefully when i'm picked the gaffer says my name.... Paul Smith! ha ha

I remember my dad playing this on VHS when I was around 6, obviously at the time I wasn’t too bothered about the housemartins, but now I love them, this video to me is so nostalgic!
