Lyrics The Housemartins

The Housemartins

Anxious

I was walking by the river, I was asking myself questions

But the answers I came up with didn't fit

Some have breakfast in bed, some aren't properly fed

The way they talk about it makes me want to spit

And they're raising all their eyebrows at the raising of the pound

Whilst they raise another city to the ground

And we're opening the doors and walking 'round on all fours

Looking for a sense in lost and found

Anxious, don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious

Anxious, don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious

I really thought I'd have my tongue ties if I stood up to shout

But all they did was listen without their ears

And I thought I'd be beheaded if I stuck my neck out

But they just gave me a hanky for my tears

I have confidence in confidence, I hope that hope pulls me through

But I think a little more is needed now

We've got to form a congregation and sink down the nation

Batter all the sinners to the ground

Anxious, don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious

Anxious, don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious

Anxious, don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious

Anxious, don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious
