You better be doubtful


Tinker, you better place another bet
The rich up in the castle haven't finished eating yet
They'll throw you a bone or a spat-out stone
But knowing them that's all you'll get
Tailor, you better close another shop
No-one wants your quality, make do with what you've got
They'll let you survive
The'll let you get by
But knowing them, they'll let you rot

You better be doubtful
You better beware
You better not shout now
You better not care

Tinker, you better buy another boot
Those "Pocock Continental" are finally showing through
We'll get you a pair
From a second-hand fair
They'll only have 'a two'

Sailor, you better sink a few more ships
Admiral loony Nelson cannot find his game of risk
We'll lose a few lives
A couple of tribes
But knowing him he'll like his lips

You better be doubtful
You better beware
You better not shout now
You better not care

From Queen Wilkinds to Queen Victoria
We've had a promising side
From King Callaghan to Bonny Prince Francis
We've paid up and we've cried
Princess Gower and Princess Ferguson
We've looked a hard nut to crack
But we're weak at the.........Back!

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Housemartins were an English musical group active during the 1980s. Originating from Hull, England, their sound was a unique blend of pop with influences from gospel, soul, folk, doo-wop and Merseybeat. Their impeccable vocal harmonies and elegant music contrasted with often sharp and ironic lyrics that tackled social and political issues. The group achieved success during the latter half of the 1980s, gaining a following among both critics and the public in the UK and abroad. Among their most famous songs are "Caravan of Love", a cappella cover from 1986 which became an international hit, and "Happy Hour". After releasing two albums, they disbanded in 1988 at the peak of their popularity. The group's leader, Paul Heaton, went on to have a successful music career with the Beautiful South.
