As you might expect, I was a huge Housemartins fan. They had it all - great pop tunes, clever lyrics, absolutely rock solid politics. When they split and the Beautiful South appeared, I had very high hopes but was a little let down. I do like quite a bit of the debut (Welcome to the Beautiful South), but it moved in the direction of mainstream college rock in a way I wasn't particularly enthused with. By their second album Choke I'd pretty much lost interest and I haven't listened to anything they've done since.
This is the closing track of the debut and is Paul Heaton and co. at their snide, cynical best.
