Housemartins, The - Me And The Farmer Lyrics
Me and the farmer get on fine
Through stormy weather and bottles of wine
If I pull my weight, he'll treat me well
But if I'm late, he'll give me hell
Farmer is a happy crook
Jesus hates him every day
'Cause Jesus gave and farmer took, took
(Won't he let you go?) Probably no
(Won't he let you go?) Probably no
(Why does he treat you so?) I just don't know
(Why does he treat you so?) I just don't know
Me and the farmer, like brother, like sister
Me and the farmer
He's chopped down sheep, planted trees
And helped the countryside to breathe
Ripped up fields, bullied flocks
And worked his workers right around the clock
It may seem strange but he'd admit
Intentions aren't exactly true
And through God loves his wife a bit
He hates the farmer through and through, through
(Won't he let you go?) Probably no
(Won't he let you go?) Probably no
(Why does he treat you so?) I just don't know
(Why does he treat you so?) I just don't know
Me and the farmer, like brother, like sister
Getting on like hand and blister
Me and the farmer
All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All we've got is London Zoo
'Cause farmer owns them all, all
(Won't he let you go?) Probably no
(Won't he let you go?) Probably no
(Why does he treat you so?) I just don't know
(Why does he treat you so?) I just don't know
Me and the farmer, like brother, like sister
Getting on like hand and blister
Me and the farmer
Me and the farmer
Me and the farmer

What a band,criminally underrated, my five year old son is being brought up on a diet of Housemartins!
Housemartins and New Order. Can't beat it
always happy to read about underrated things on yt! i think the word underrated itself is badly underrated!
😄😄👍
Beste abesti ederra. Garai hura ahaztezina izango da beti!! Euskadin ere arrakastatsuak izan ziren!!
Eu assistindo em 2019 ..hahaha as danças são engraçadas ahhha
Finalmente achei que alguém conhece a banda além de "Build". Hehehe
Remember when they opened the Brid Spa (kind of hometown gig) with this, the place erupted, literally
i listened to this song when i was little i love this song
❤ I love this song
Any ones dads grate tase in music bring u to this song
quin temps mes collonuts!!!!!!super
Paul Heatons videos are all class
This is like fun, inept in many ways but alright in the end.
The most underrated band ever ,least the cool cunts of Britain knew how good they were
If you were born in the 80's we are the last generation keeping songs like this alive. These new age kids know fuck all about music so we must keep reminding them what proper music is. Starting with this song....
uno de mis grupos favoritos
Magical memories.
My happy song...even now!!
Sooo 😎
I Want to 😢
esses cara são bom saudades 😂😂👍👏
Love their musicvideos
Must try out this dance routine down the pub tomorrow. Should get arrested and sectioned in no time.
so is this the smiths or something?
jk but they sound like them
AlternateMusicAddict they sound nothing like the Smiths.
AlternateMusicAddict no, they were happy. House Martin's rule!
I love Housemartins
Hugs from Brazil
2018 here...
Love their music hate their videos.
my god how young does Paul Heaton look in this video please.
E esse dave é muito lindo😎😍😍
deve ta so a caveira pelo tempo que morreu
Ele era novinho nessa época tinha 27 anos
Gosto muito das músicas de casa de Martins eu se escrevi no seu canal agora se escreve no meu aí
que video de mierda
Diego Irrazabal más mierda eres tú
Lol, a trip back to yorks!
Great tune. Fun video - with visual references to The Monkees! Great fun.
that boy band choreography aahhhh!!!!!
2017 still rocking!!!
no idea how i got here but so glad i did!
hup hup hup!
I love them <3
Paul heaton is related to Famer Jack..ask Tony Bennet he sung it.It goes like From a jack to a queen...Get it !!!! X :)
Just really cool to drink your Diamond White and Holsten Pils snakebites to,then really enjoy making a prick out of yourself on the dance floor.All that for ten quid back then eh?.
Fantastic band from the 80s! Thanks for uploading this great song.
Incredibly good....I have the feel good factor..X :)
Love love love them Still
I've never heard of them....where are they from? What year was this video made?
When I was in high school the Housemartins song "Happy Hour" was a big song by the standards of college rock. The lead singer, Paul Heaton, is better known nowadays as the lead singer and songwriter of The Beautiful South. They never made a big impression in the U.S. but they're big enough in the UK to have a greatest hits compilation.
Hull please, no such place as Humberside :-D
Formally known as Humberside then dear lady..So pleased to put the record straight. X :)
Chloe Delores a lot of people still use humberside, being a Hull girl it's not something we like to hear now :-D
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Housemartins :) .
"Getting on like hand and blister"....good one.
these, the smiths and the cure best ever
Don't forget Echo and the Bunnymen
Love this band !!
they so cutest bands
Commies?
the liner notes on the debut album praise MARXISM ....does that make them commies or socialists ?
Son los mejores ya no se escucha música como esta
Si verdad
43 Def Leppard fans have made their opinion known.
+Garth H Why don't they like this? i like both!!
+Helen the raver I'm listening to this on that personal playlist Youtube makes for you sometimes and 'Def Leppard - Let It Go' is literally next up.
+Mine0Taur Well they're all from God's own county so i don't see the problem!
Well done Sir! 100 up-votes for you today! : )
Fan of both!
haha. i had this on tape. class memories
1:01 lol
Without a doubt, this is my favourite farm based song.
"Mary had a Little lamb"?
"Old MacDonald Had a Farm"?
Altogether Now - By the Farm
Maggie's Farm - Bob Dylan
1:01 spoopy
In this band bass quitar palyed Norman Cook.
+Count Basie Yes, I saw them at Leicester University in 1986. 20 years ago? They split up in 1987 Count?
It was my 14th birthday I was born in 76 my maths is shite
+ΒΑΓΓΕΛΗΣ ΚΑΖΑΚΗΣ sure is, he has worked with the Beautiful South and is still friends with most of the band too... A reunion would be superb!
+Andy D beats international Dub be good to me etc came immediately post housemartins. fatboy slim came well after. He';s maintained that dorky floppy persona throughout though. Love him.
WTF....you would have been 10-11 as was already said, they split in 1987.
Unspeakably cute. I'd marry all four of them.
Fucking best band from hull plis fine young cannibals. Good times top tumrs
I really had a fondness for these lads, and they had some real catchy tunes such as "Build" and "Happy Hour" among others. I think they may have been misperceived as "Smiths-lite" with a smidgen of Haircut 100 and a bit of Madness thrown in. Sadly they broke up and didn't live up to mature to the possibility of their full potential.
Most of the band continued in the Beautiful South though. So you can listen to that and listen to them as a 'mature' band.
I guess they died so fast after this "anthem" (better to me than Sheep or Caravan) that I didn't saw a clip from it while collecting other videos by thousands in 1987-1997.
El video es lo que se veia entre los 80' y los 90' genial y sobre todo positivo y alegre
now thats a video, none of this digital bollocks these days. Paul Heaton is one of the best....
To the 28 people that voted this down..... I dislike you. I dislike you strongly
but there are thousdens Likers, much more interesting
Its Jamie Davies I live the UK I love this song Darren Singleton mate.
Me too! Great Song, Great Band! IMHO :)
@manikpop Its Jamie Davies can I be your friend please manikpop mate.

Una de las canciones mas gamberras que recuerdo¡¡
Fantastic! That Rickenbacker break is a straight lift out of CTA-102 by The Byrds. Excellent.
One of the best underrated bands.
your comment is underrated, too!
621.887! didn't think That masterpiece would be so appreciated!
It's completely impossible to be in a foul mood when listening to this song

Fatboy slim.

Fatboy Slim tocando baixo na árvore! kkkk
Fatboy slim iya já tinha esquecido de onde ele veio.
Fantásticos
I've got a little Hull story for you YTF's, as a young boy I used to get up at 6am every Saturday to pick up Roy of the Rovers & Tiger from my local Newsagents on Greenwood Avenue in Hull. I remember watchin' one of The Housemartins early interviews before they released 'Happy Hour' was either 'Sheep' or 'Me & The Farmer' on Wackaday or The Wide Awake Club!!
Off Endike myself, Huffy. Moved to London since but always take advantage of time up North to get down Newland/Prinny Ave for a few cheekies...
quite the anecdote you've got there, have you spoken to anybody about the serialisation rights yet???
:P
jk
WOW - You could get a book deal or a movie out of that story!
paul heaton has been my alltime favourite singer since i was a kid
very beautiful song
Amooooo... este temaaaa!!!!!!

nice song , the farmer !
Grandissima band che ha segnato la mia adolescenza!!! The Housemartins 4 ever! :-)

******** THIS WAS FILMED AT MY BROTHER IN LAWS FARM IN WALKINGTON NEAR BEVERLEY! THE SHED IS STILL THERE TO THIS DAY LOL
