Verse 1]
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
Happy that the fire's real, the barman is a she

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Where the haircuts smile and the meaning of style
Is a night out with the boss
Where you win or you lose, and it's them who choose
And if you don't win, then you've lost

[Chorus]
What a good place to be
Don't believe it
'Cause they speak a different language
And it's never really happened to me (It's happy hour again)
Don't believe it, oh no
'Cause it's never been happy for me (It's happy hour again)
No, woah-oh

[Verse 2]
It's another night out with the boss
Following in footsteps overgrown with moss
And he tells me that women grow on trees
And if you catch them right, they will land upon their knees

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Where they open all their wallets and they close all their minds
And they love to buy you all a drink
And then we ask all the questions, and you take all your clothes off
And go back to the kitchen sink

[Chorus]
What a good place to be
Don't believe it
'Cause they speak a different language
And it's never really happened to me (It's happy hour again)
Don't believe it, oh no
'Cause it's never been happy for me (It's happy hour again)
No, woah-oh, oh

[Chorus]
What a good place to be
Don't believe it
'Cause they speak a different language
And it's never really happened to me
Don't believe it, oh no
'Cause it's never been happy for me (It's happy hour again)

[Outro]
Don't believe it, don't believe it (It's happy hour again)
Don't believe it (It's happy hour again)
And again, and again
(It's happy hour again) and again, and again
(It's happy hour again) and again, and again
It's happy hour again

'Cause it's never really happened to me (it's happy hour again)
Don't believe it, don't believe it (it's happy hour again)

It's happy hour again, and again, and again

Don't believe her(it's happy hour again)

And again, and again
It's happy hour again, and again, and again
It's happy hour again, and again, and again
It's happy hour again

What a bunch of clean cut lads.

@dreadINAbabylon

Mid to late 80s people generally dressed better than now and had crisp haircuts. I think it was a reaction to the sloppiness of the 70s. As the 1990s came & went--redolent of grunge & gangster rap--many men reverted to their slovenly ways.

@adamgregory9198

4y↑8

@funkEsavage Indeed. They look like Teddy Boys crossed with Mods, or British Yuppies with an edge. Like most UK music of the day, this song is excellent.

@dreadINAbabylon

4y↑8

@Adam Gregory I concur. I'm not British so I don't have an axe to grind, but I must concede UK music of the 80s was innovative, vibrant, and dynamic. Ultimately, it came to dominate western popular music of the era and set the tone for the succeeding decades. While this particular song was never a hit, it's representative of the originality of the times.

@rjjcms1

2y↑5

It was a very big hit (their first) in the UK,spending two weeks at number 3 in late June and early July 1986. Prior to that they missed the Top 40 by a short stretch with Sheep.

It would be almost impossible. World has absolutely no idea... and would gone crazy over why a renowned DJ like Fatboy Slim was playing 3-accords on a guitar in a pop-ska group.

Not underrated just didn't have a big enough fan base and they will never get back together so it's not a case if bringing them back

Yeah its not the least bit happy, same as all their songs, the most overtly marxist, to me, band of the era, but they made it all sound so happy! Kinda like early Billy Bragg.

@PinkyJujubean

Being an American means that you often don't hear about bands that were big in other countries. It's a shame I never heard of these guys until a couple years ago because they are just all kinds of awesome

@dreadINAbabylon

1y↑2

I'm not an American but I lived in the States during most of the 80s and 90s. Fortunately, the college radio scene back then was robust enough to expose folks like me to many forms of music. As to you discovering this band decades after the fact, I say better late than never and good for you!

@PinkyJujubean

1y↑1

@dreadINAbabylon I discovered them on a documentary about Top of The Pops. There's a whole series of them that goes year by year and I heard of a lot of cool bands I never would have otherwise.

@chriscoccagna5917

1y↑1

@dreadINAbabylon You are so right. I was in college from 83 - 88. Til about 86 all I did was listen to "college radio".. It played New Wave music that wasn't being picked up by MTV or Top 40 radio stations. Thank God for college radio stations.

@dreadINAbabylon

@Miss Footlong Hotdog 1957 TOTP was an excellent show. Always pushing the boundary since the late 60s. Many a major act got their start there. And more than a few great unknowns had their 15mins of fame strutting their stuff.

@dreadINAbabylon

@Chris Coccagna I hear ya! Perhaps one of the best groups I cottoned on to back then courtesy of college radio that I would never have heard otherwise was 'Cocteau Twins'. And the related 4AD bands 'This Mortal Coil' and 'Dead Can Dance'. Long before Enya made ambient music popular. (Btw, those are the same years of my matriculation so we're obviously of an age. For good or for ill!)

These were genuinely nice fellas. I was at The Hacienda, Manchester watching New Order play. After the show (a couple of my friends were wearing House Martins concert t-shirts) Paul and the drummer (first one, forgot his name, sorry) said "nice t-shirts lads, we talked over a beer for a bit, didn't want to overstay our welcome and off we went to watch Norman on the dance floor with two stunning ladies, he was guarded closely by a mean looking bouncer.

I'm a music fanatic over many genres and consider I know a good amount of music trivia - however, have had my mind blown tonight! After listening to an old Billy Bragg vinyl 'Talking with the Taxman about Poetry' - the song Levi Stubbs' Tears - for which the main riff was sampled in the 90's by Beats International UK outfit featuring Fatboy Slim aka Norman Cook. All this I knew - however Norman Cook in his early music career is the bassist you see here in the Housemartins!! The Housemarins were a band I knew and loved as a teenager and never knew of this connection. I love that I've been humbled in not knowing this tonight!

@dreadINAbabylon

Much respex, Melissah, for the valuable insight.

@Randy_Bentwick

Prepare to have your mind blown for a second time: His first name is actually Norman, not Normal.

@Dean Benson We really need a new strain of good rock/pop music to usher in an era of fresh creativity. Unfortunately, last new genre was grunge, nigh on 30 years ago.

@Kainlarsen

3y↑1

@funkEsavage It's not that there's no new ideas, it's that the industry is run by people who think they know better than everyone else. Frank Zappa said it best, that hippies destroyed musical innovation by gatekeeping what gets played and what doesn't. We were better off with the old guys who didn't claim to know and took chances.

Not sure how I missed this from my youth 36 years ago, but we were at the mercy of the radio stations, MTV, and VH1. Once in freak coincidence you might find a college radio station playing some underground music, and my thoughts were always: "Wait, what was the name of that song, who sung that!?"

@dreadINAbabylon

The American college radio stations definitely had the interesting music back in the 80s. Unfortunately, the swarmy DJs weren't interested in spreading the love and often left people guessing. As we had no internet, we were forced to half hum snippets of chorus to the Tower Records staff! Fun times, though.

The sort of song I’d want to play if I ever went back to my hometown to attempt an epic pub crawl with my school friends

@dreadINAbabylon

Do it when you can--those pub crawls get tougher each passing year!

@beelzebubcrumpethorn

2y↑2

Allow me to wager a guess, does the crawl include 12 pubs along a legendary line of alcoholic indulgence?

@i-am-batman8538

@Beelzebub Crumpethorn Indeed, and it’s the sort of crawl in which also one may return with a twinkle in their eye, they would in fact be blind.. drunk!

I'm the same age but I'm not as brave as you. I keep my un-co reggae skankin' strictly confined to the house so I guess I give something of a f.... My teenage daughters laugh their heads off while I jump & prance around with the Siamese cat to Bob Marley cranked up to the nines.
