Housemartins, The - Over There Lyrics






The fence is long and high where we love
You can't see the other side where they live
I've spied with my little eye
And I've sighed with my little sigh
But it seems I've given all that I can give

Every hour I have to count to ten
And a thousand times I've thought again
But it seems I've given all that I can give

Is there anyone there
Here is the fence that they built (over there)
This is the fence that hate built
Is anyone there (over there)

This is the fence that turns one into two
I want to break through but I'm though if I do
I've tried with my little try
And I've cried with my little cry
But it seems that the gate holds the only clue

Every hour I have to count to ten
And a thousand times I've thought again
But it seems I've given all that I can give

Is there anyone there
Here is the fence that they built (over there)
This is the fence that hate built
Is anyone there (over there)

Every hour I have to count to ten
And a thousand times I've thought again

Is there anyone there
Here is the fence that they built (over there)
This is the fence that hate built
Is anyone there (over there)

Is there anyone there
Here is the fence that they built (over there)
This is the fence that hate built
Is anyone there (over there)

But it seems I've given all that I can give

Is there anyone there
Here is the fence that they built (over there)
This is the fence that hate built
Is anyone there (over there)

    A few good songs on their first LP, after a little success and some cred they went bizarre! Caravan of Love and all that shite.

    @Spencer Challis Lol. Say what ya like; Mods gave the Housemartin's their cred back in 84/85. What did the Housemartins do in return? Became a bunch of Top-of-the-Pops tarts and sold out any cred they might 'av had as quick as they could. What do you expect from champagne Socialists?
