Housemartins, The - Bow Down Lyrics
Mother, father, I think that I would rather
Stay at home with you for another year
That building's so tall and it makes me feel so small
That I might get lost and simply disappear
Evil smiles won't change my mind
Why's that man rubbing his hands
Looking at me writing down his plans?
Today I have been moulding plasticine
And I made a little man who looked just like me
His limbs were so weak and he couldn't move his mouth to speak
And I could bend him into any shape I wanted him to be
Evil smiles won't change my mind
I'm worried and I'm not the worrying kind
Looking at me writing down his plans?
Those kids with the blazers on
They went in with names on their elbows
Came home with medals on
Spit it out that's the way the story goes
A flying start for the briefcase crew
Oh, you didn't have to teach me like you did
But you did
And you didn't have to beat me like you did
But you did
...

Housemartins, The Bow Down Comments
música de pub irlandes de buenos aires en la década del 90 ( Kilkenny Pub - Henry J Beans )
Gloriosa epoca y gran banda de los 80´s
Genios...
Hay video en vivo de esta banda?
Desde el 6 de oct del año pasado la estaba buscandoooooo al fin
Tenia los cassette de housemartins y se me gasto la cinta de tanto escucharlos 😊
Alto tema de los grandes. En mi humilde opinion todo es una gran ironia. Es una denuncia a los malos tratos de chicos pero disfrazada de brit pop ochentoso. Es por eso que, apesar de ritmo movido, termina con esa sensacion de melancolia. A casi todos le levanta el animo, pero a mi me hace bolsa... Amo este tema. Si. Un poco mazoca.
En Chile 2019
Argentina Nov 2019!🎶🖐😗
Best Song Martins!
Que raro que sea muy conocida en Argentina
Me dieron ganad de bailar jaja
Purealternative FM Request Rock Show tonight Simon Barnett still to come The Beat, Morrissey The Associates Crowded House and World Party plus many more

Recien hoy en la radio aspen encontre este tema y con la aplicacion shazam supe quien era el interprete . Una maravilla!!!! Alto tema .
Aguante el Shazam, yo encontre todo lo de Spandau Ballet y Curiosity de esa forma
Q temaáaaaaaaaa x favorrrrr q lindaassss epocasssss y lindos recuerdos
Asi que acá es de donde Los Rodriguez sacaron la inspiración para "Para no olvidar". Lo sabía, sabía que había escuchado esa melodía antes
Por siempre será mi canción, el 1 de mayo 2019, 00:35 horas en el pasillo de un hospital la escuchaba mientras vi pasar a las enfermeras cargando algo, una de ellas se acercó y me dijo: Felicidades ya eres padre; ahí va tu bebé!!!
Felicidades... Me encanta este tipo de historias simples pero que significan tanto... Bravo.
Fantástica!!! Muito obrigado. Desculpa pelos dislake povo sem NOÇÃO!!!
Wonderful music they made...
Está canción me re levanta el ánimo
Cesare Cremonini mondo... copia assoluta del italiano😉
Seeeee gli Housemartins nel 1983 erano tra le migliori band inglesi....Cremonini lasciamo perdere, in Italia lo ascoltavano solo gli adolescenti.
Like so pensaste que era de Morrisey
alguém em 2019 ? isso sim é música boa !!
Que grande Morrisey!! Ah no, pará...
Te confundiste capo.
😁😁
People Who Grinned Themselves To Death......One of the best albums of the 80's!!
Oh, you didn't have to teach me like you did But you did And you didn't have to beat me like you did But you did....
dedicated to all cruel parents....
Yo también digo hasta que al fin te encontré excelente tema
Maryel Ramos Hello

Still know this word for word
So great they were!
Linda canción, himno de mi adolescencia, donde la musica alimentaba el alma.
innocent song with big time feelings. "build" beats it by a tad
Que grande lastima se separaron ,en su mejor momento ,que grandes lis 80 ,con el casette
Great piece of art...
Muito clássica!!!
2018 y 2019
Siempre la escuchaba en aspen ahora ya la descargue, linda melodia😍☺
thank you Leslie for the kisses and turning me on to the HM on our NYC school spring break class trip in '87. Nice, long bus ride along the coast....
Esta canción me levanta el ánimo cada vez que la escucho
Fantasticos! Que vivan los 80!
Gracias FM Aspen por volver a hacerme escuchar esta maravillosa canción
Desde chico lo escuchaba y hoy lo volví a encontrar
En San Juan Argentina tienen una seguidora que los ama
silvina trigo rivas Hello
En Sgo del Estero también desde el año 88
Neeeeeeeñaaaaaaaa.. esta ricaa esa semiitaa :D
@Luis Espina jajajajjaj.. huevón
For me, these four lads from Hull are up there with the Beatles what brilliant music
Asquerosa inmunda eso no se hace basta callate calmate terminala porqueria que horrible sera posible pero che no grites deja de quejarte por fabor
Show💕👏👏
Imagine Fatboy Slim playing the bass on this song. So strange...
Καταπληκτικό τραγούδι, γεμάτο νιάτα και ζωντάνια!!!!
Τα νιατα μας!!
gostei! 😍
Que legal Bruna !!
happy-sad lads, it's called happy-sad..
thank you so much mom for introducing me to good music ♥
Un gran tema ...pero me hubiese gustado escucharlo en unplugged
hermoso tema , trae mi adolescencia al presente !
Lo mismo digo.cuanta nostagia😥
El dia que me casé el primer tema que bailamos como marido y mujer fue "advice for the young at heart" de los tears for fear
Y? que tiene que ver esta cancion con eso...
Mother, Father, I think that I would rather
Stay at home with you for another year
That building's so tall and it makes me feel so small
That I might get lost and simply disappear
Evil smiles won't change my mind
I'm worried and I'm not the worrying kind
Why's that man rubbing his hands
Looking at me writing down his plans?
Today I have been molding plasticine
and I made a little man who looked just like me
His limbs were so weak and he couldn't move his mouth to speak
And I could bend him into any shape I wanted him to be
Evil smiles won't change my mind
I'm worried and I'm not the worrying kind
Why's that man rubbing his hands
Looking at me writing down his plans?
Those kids with the blazers on
They went in with names on their elbows
Came home with medals on
Spit it out that's the way the story goes
A flying start for the briefcase crew
Oh, you didn't have to teach me like you did
But you did
And you didn't have to beat me like you did
But you did
But you did
You did
You did
Pretty awesome!
One of my favoirites.
YEP...this is probably their best song....my other favorites are OVER THERE, BUILD, Get up off your knees and WE're Not Deep and 5 get over excited
I think the housemartins are one of the best british pop bands of all time, unfortunately little valued and recognized ´´worldwide´´.
u are correct
You suicide risk just went way up if you liked this.
musica top
Hermoso tema!!!
isso e que e musica
Disse tudo, música com lírica , música de verdade
Indie pop......or `alternative rock` are terms that didn`t even exist `way back when`......
the Housemartins were something SPECIAL.....and they will álways be!!!!
Curto pra caramba.
Uma das melhores músicas de todos os tempos!!!
Parabéns , você tem bom gosto pra música de verdade
brilliant love his voice xxxxxx
Paul Heaton......mágical voice indeed!
check also the Beautiful South plse!!??
Que bom q ainda tem pessoas q curtem música Boa , Parabéns moça
brilliant!
por favor me hace volar este tema!!!
SANTA ARE THE PARENTS!!!!!!! SEEMS LIKE THE SMITHS
adoro esta musica que epoca recuerdos queridos
Take these to room 17.! Que.? Si.? What.?
Build e Bow Dow São As 2 Melhores Músicas Do Housemartins.
I would add "Flag day" and "Song for whoever"
Con este tema íbamos a comenzar el baile de mi casamiento con Silvina Verónica Galvani, en lugar del vals; pero la muy pelotuda se machimbró con otro...
jajaja, me sacaste una sonrrisa, dejalo al olvido y escuchate flag day y build de este grupo y no te vas a arrepentir saludos desde Moron Argentina
Daniel Roldan lo mejor que te pudo pasar! Este temazo no se baila con cualquiera. Saludos desde Argentina!
😂😂
Que mala suerte debe ella estar pasando por no casarse con Ud.
@Leo Ferreyra Malardo tu chiste hermano jajajaaa saludos te amo
El mejor tema de ese album era el último del lado B: "Build".
estudiantes68 el lentaso!!! especial para chapar
uma pena que esta banda acabou.
tip top tune!!!
Os fantásticos house Martins
POR FIN ME ENCUENTRO CON ESTA BELLEZA! tanto tiempo la escuche sonar en la Aspen y nunca supe su nombre ni quien o quienes la cantaban. Gracias!
Yo tambien!! la escuche varias veces pero no sabia que grupo era llegue a ella gracias a Shazam!!
Yo la acabo de encontrar tras 9 años de búsqueda jajajaja
Gracias Shazam!!!
@Arturo Benavides. jaja gracias Shazam
Cuando era niño pense que lo cantaba una mujer soy el unico ?
de la gran pepa, bestial......
genialesssss
best band of the 80s,paul heaton legend
COOL!! (y)
smiths!! :D love it!!
I like this!!!!
muy bueno!
muy bueno the Housemartins... impresionantes como siempre!!!
This song always makes me happy!
this song always makes me sad.....but it is one of their best songs: along with ANXIOUS, 5 get over excited, i can't put my finger on it, BUILD and OVER THERE and Happy Hour
This song makes you both feel.
Sad, happy , doesn't matter.
You should feel both and with intensity. That is what gives life meaning.
Feelings should always be welcome.
Indifference and lack of feeling is what you should be afraid of
It's awkward: the music tells you to be happy, but the lyrics do the opposite.
La adoro!!
Lol, siempre que veo un comentario de hace años me pongo a pensar que quizás el que lo escribio está muerto.
me encantan!!!!!!!!!!!!
They didn't put out a lot of material, but what they did was really good.
They actually did , just search for it
A great song by one of the greatest bands.
These truly were a great band at a time when in the mid/late 80s there was a lot of rubbish flying about. The Fawlty Towers of British rock/pop music, two albums and a handful of singles and split at there peak to go their separate ways with great success never to reform. Absolutely love em.
Es estupenda me llena de energía, me levanta los ánimos, me parece una canción expetacular, mis saludos de un peruano reciente en Italia.
Now that's what I call quite good :)
