Lyrics The Housemartins

The Housemartins

Drop Down Dead

I spoke to someone yesterday

He didn't want politics in any way

They were young and can do as they pleased

Once they were older on their hands and knees

I say drop down baby

Drop down dead tonight

I say drop down baby

Drop down dead tonight

There is rich and there is poor

But I know who I'm fighting for

And when the bell strikes twelve tonight

I'll pack my bags and turn the light

I say drop down baby

Drop down dead tonight

I say drop down baby

Drop down dead tonight

By the candle light there'll be songs

Singing, singing, singing all night long

And the trees that hid away by day

They'll be strong and here to stay

I say drop down baby

Drop down dead tonight

I say drop down baby

Drop down dead tonight
