London 0 Hull 4 Socrates

 The four goals scored by the formidable rookie Hull against the arrogant Anglo-Saxon Capital were all deserved and the result of a lively and spectacular game.

 London 0 - Hull 4 is an album I consider one of the best pop debuts ever, and not just among the infamous Eighties.

 Listen to The Housemartins' London 0 Hull 4 and experience one of the most vibrant and socially aware pop debuts of the 80s!

Happy Hour (02:22)
It's happy hour again
I think I might be happy if I wasn't out with them
And they're happy it's a lovely place to be

I was walking by the river, I was asking myself questions
But the answers I came up with didn't fit
Some have breakfast in bed some aren't properly fed

Sitting on a fence is a man who sees no sense in fighting
Sitting on a fence is a man who sees no sense at all
Sitting on a fence is a man who strokes his twenty beards

Sheep (02:17)
Sometimes I get so angry with the simple life they lead
The shepherds smile seems to confirm my fears
They've never questioned anything, they've never disagreed

Children smiling in the street have gone without a trace
This street used to be full, it used to make me smile
