Lyrics The Housemartins

The Housemartins

Johannesburg

Please don't show your soul to me

I think I'd see the light shine through

And please don't greet me on the street

I'd like to see a world without you

Please don't change your uniform

And start to mourn the thousands dead

And please wear what you've always worn

And don't be drawn by what I've said

'cause I've found there's nothing more

That I could say to you

Nothing I could do to change your mind

Change your ways and your tune

So please don't feel you have to sway

Or move away from how you feel

And please say what you mean to say

And always stay with a heart of steel
