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 »

Do you remember the good old days?
An empty stomach and a tear-stained face
Do you remember how it used to be?
The walking dead in the factory
I won't talk because
It's not as it was
You don't want the sack
Then don't doff your cap

{we are not going back} don't back pedal down a broken track
{we are not going back} "I'm alright jack" is an easy trap
{we are not going back} no more need for wearing all black
{we are not going back} "I'm alright jack" is an easy trap

Do you remember the dail pain
Of walking arouhnd with a ball and chain?
Do you recall when it was hard buyt fair?
You got your share on a line of a prayer.

Please put in my box
Some money for socks
Don't turn back the clocks
It's not as it was

{we are not going back} don't back pedal down a broken track
{we are not going back} "I'm alright jack" is an easy trap
{we are not going back} no more need for wearing all black
{we are not going back} "I'm alright jack" is an easy trap
