Lyrics The Housemartins

The Housemartins

We're Not Going Back

Do you remember the good old days?

An empty stomach and a tear-stained face

Do you remember how it used to be?

The walking dead in the factory

I won't talk because

It's not as it was

You don't want the sack

Then don't doff your cap

{we are not going back} don't back pedal down a broken track

{we are not going back} "I'm alright jack" is an easy trap

{we are not going back} no more need for wearing all black

{we are not going back} "I'm alright jack" is an easy trap

Do you remember the dail pain

Of walking arouhnd with a ball and chain?

Do you recall when it was hard buyt fair?

You got your share on a line of a prayer.

Please put in my box

Some money for socks

Don't turn back the clocks

It's not as it was

{we are not going back} don't back pedal down a broken track

{we are not going back} "I'm alright jack" is an easy trap

{we are not going back} no more need for wearing all black

{we are not going back} "I'm alright jack" is an easy trap
