Lyrics The Housemartins

The Housemartins

Bow Down

Mother, father, I think that I would rather

Stay at home with you for another year

That buildings so tall and it makes me feel so small

That I might get lost and simply disappear

Evil smiles wont change my mind

Im worried and Im not the worrying kind

Whys that man rubbing his hands

Looking at me writing down his plans?

Today I have been moulding plasticine

And I made a little man who looked just like me

His limbs were so weak and he couldnt move hiw mouth to speak

And I could bend him into any shape I wanted him to be

Evil smiles wont change my mind

Im worried and Im not the worrying kind

Whys that man rubbing his hands

Looking at me writing down his plans?

Those kids with the blazers on

They went in with names on their elbows

Came home with medals on

Spit it out thats the way the story goes

A flying start for the briefcase crew

Oh, you didnt have to teach me like you did

But you did

And you didnt have to beat me like you did

But you did

But you did

You did

You did
