Housemartins, The - Think For A Minute Lyrics

Handsome devil brought me here.
2020

Did Hugh get into some trouble?

Nice song by the housemartins

I loved the group in '86-'87 when I was 13-14.Still love the band now!

Loved the housemartins back in the day.. great memories

Love these guys!

Underated band .

Heaton's voice is ridiculously good.

One of the greatest songs of the 80’s or ever

Social sadness, lyrically neat pop classic 👍🏽

Like build they'll never be any songs like this ever again

First place I’d go in a time machine would be to a Housemartins gig in 1986! Great music , cheap, shit lager and I’d be wearing jeans a jumper and black shoes with white socks 😂

Stood on the Warwick road in your stone Island this blaring out of the beehive pub, the enemy in front of you .....it's war

Purealternative FM

So relevant ,sadly to so much of the worlds society.

Probably the whitest music video I’ve ever seen, but such a beautiful song

One of my favorite songs of all time. One of the most underrated talents, ever. Reminds me of my youth.

i was 20 went listened for first time h.m in sweden..great great..

Que lindo tema, por favorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Handsome Devil . Brazil ❤️

I'm glad I found this song after watching handsome devil bc I really enjoyed the song

I feel like Hugh's desperation for attention un this video is what drive him the kill someone with an axe and commit arson against another person lol

forgot how much i fucking love this song.

Who would have thought peter beardserly could sing so good

From their 1st album London 0 Hull 4 .

All my life looking for this song. Thought was Smiths. Now I'm happy

Snap lol
damn i loved the 80s!

Can we talk about the dancing at the end? 😂

Blatantly political pop is always underrated. Can anyone give me an example of the right so cogently decrying their cause?i

Handsome Devil💙💙💙💙

Handsome Devil 🌈🌈🌈

Glastonbury 1986. Missed the 'hand of god' world cup for these guys. Just saying - think the cure headlined. Loved the woodentops

Lol the drummer

handsome deviiil

I was like Al Bundy. Years searching for this song. I thought it was from The Smiths

💝💝💝

this song brings dust in my eyes

thank you Mr Paul Heaton.

Always open me gob before I think me!

Working away about 5 yeas ago sat in a pub in walks Paul had a bit chat and a pint with him a week later same pub sat at the bar was Lemmy from Motörhead I ended up totally rat arsed. But it was worth the hangover

Gotta love Hugh! Saw him in some fusion outfit a year or so ago, really great sound!

Awesome song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After getting a dose of Uriah Heep from a "friend", this was the perfect antidote.

Handsome devil! Thought it was Chandler Bing singing this lmao

Could we step it down a couple octave where's Johnny.

this is an outstanding band!

"Handsome Devil" brought me here

This aged so well...brilliant.Thanks Mi NaNi.

Very underrated group

Great Lyrics,Great Music, Great Band.

Mr. Fatboy of Slim, tinkling the ol' ivories in the background!

That song sucked no offense

M R I appreciate your honesty

Too much info

The 80’s forever....🤗🤗🤗🤗

Great Hugh Whitaker screwing around!.

Anyone know the chords?

A and B7. That's it. As simple and effective as it gets.

Wtf is the last picture?

Free hugh whittaker

Don’t focus on what’s ‘cool’ focus on what’s beautiful.

A BIBLE OF MUSICAL BRILLIANCE .,,PERIOD,,,!!

Joli. Merci

Something's going on, change is taking place,
Children smiling in the streets have gone without a trace.
This street used to be full, it used to make me smile,
And now it seems that everyone is walking single file

And many hang their heads in shame
That used to hold them high.
And those that used to say hello
Simply pass you by

Think for a minute, stop for a minute
Think for a minute, stop for a minute

I always said it could they never thought it could
The people look so pitiful I'm thinking that it should
and now it's almost here, now it's on its way
I can't help saying told you so and have a nice final day

And nothing I could say
Could ever make them see the light.
Now apathy is happy that
It won without a fight

Think for a minute, stop for a minute
Think for a minute, stop for a minute

And many hang their heads in shame that used to hold them high - Think for a
minute
And those that used to say hello simply pass you by - stop for a minute

Think for a minute, stop for a minute

Marcelo Santos thank you ❤️

Superb wordsmith.!

smokers need to listen to this.

john smith smoking a fat bowl while jamming to this it's so deep😭

There is so much to hate in this world Remember to love music if nothing else. Thank you to the boys from Hull

my memories of 1987 and my country's accidental "President" brought me here.

Great to see this song make a reappearance in the Irish film Handsome Devil.

Why isn't this a massive hit?

think for a minutei

Love this tune!!

A and B7 the whole song, all the time...

They look really young

hugh is so funny

I thought I could listen two voices (yeah, like Ned and Connor) one high and the other, low...

the singer looks like that banjo playing kid from the movie deliverance. great song though.

Something's going on, a change is taking place

And many hand their heads in shame

And those that used to say hello
Simply pass you by

Think for a minute, stop for a minute
Think for a minute, stop for a minute

I always said it could, they never though it would
The people look so pitiful, I'm thinking that it should

Think for a minute, Stop for a minute
Think for a minute, Stop for a minute

And many hang their heads in shame that used to hold them high
{Think for a minute}
And those that used to say hello simply pass you by
{Stop for a minute}

Think for a minute, stop for a minute
Think for a minute, stop for a minute

rollership great lyrics

Tom Marc same boo

@Mike Oxenfire nazi? SHAME on you!

@Christophe Jollivet

Jurgen Klopp on trumpet!

Handsome Devil movie brought me here!

Me, too.

Me too 🙂

Agree and Jarvis Cocker!

Handsome Devil !!!

conor and ned

More like - thanks, Mr. Sherry.

Really??

If you don't like The Housemartins you don't like the art.

Brilliant.

love how the trumpet died in mid blow

bela musica

Norman Cook Geniu Fatboyslim , Genial!!

They should have been one of the biggest bands on the planet, Britains answer to REM.

I thought REM came later, as an answer to bands like these

Their better than REM. Can you imagine the music if they had stayed together. Would they have gone on to Sgt Pepper greatness? . I bet they would have.

30 years later this song is my home town, close all industries and make the people fight among themselves

The socialists manifesto summed up in a song

Now here's a good song that should have been used by the remain campaign!

think for a minute..

Times up...What was you thinking...X :)

The trumpeter collapsed because he saw the price of the Doc Martens they were wearing!!

I used to pay £15 for 10 holers back in the early 80s brand new! Cost me £80+ to buy the same last year!

@TheG67 Bought a pair of 8 eyes in Inverness in early 1972 for £8.50...Still have them.

@Alan Paul Now thats a good price! But what was your weekly pay packet 😉

With this weather this morning , its a Docs day!
