Lyrics The Housemartins

The Housemartins

We're Not Deep

You can put it down to lack of patience

You can put it down to lack of sleep

But it's in my head to stay in bed

Tucked under the sheets

They said if you try to get on I'd get on

They said there were chances

But now my chance has gone

And I know what you think

What you think about me

Thoughts like that sink home

To you we're not deep

Now it may be a sad reflection

On the way young people feel

But early Monday morning

Is losing its appeal

I open my curtains at 7a.m.

Just so you think I'm up with the rest of the men

And I know what you think

What you think about me

Thoughts like that sink home

To you we're not deep

You'd do yourself a favor if you gave yourself a break

But that's one risk you'd never take

The evenings yours, the mornings mine

But don't knock me, I'm doing fine

You'd do yourself a favor if you gave yourself a rest

But just for now you know what's best

And I know what you think

What you think about me

Thoughts like that sink home

To you we're not deep
