The Housemartins
Think for a Minute
[Verse 1]
Something's going on, a change is taking place
Children smiling in the street 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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And many bow their heads in shame
That used to hold them high
And those that used to say hello
Simply pass you by

[Chorus]
Think for a minute (think for a minute)
Stop for a minute (stop for a minute)
Think for a minute (think for a minute)
Stop for a minute (stop for a minute)

[Verse 2]
I always said it could, they never thought it would
The people look so pitiful, I'm thinking that it should
And now it's almost here, now its on its way
I can't help saying told you so and have a nice final day

[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause nothing I could say
Could ever make them see the light
Now apathy is happy that
It won without a fight
[Chorus]
Think for a minute (think for a minute)
Stop for a minute (stop for a minute)
Think for a minute (think for a minute)
Stop for a minute (stop for a minute)

[Pre-Chorus 3]
And many drop their heads in shame (think for a minute)
That used to hold them high (stop for a minute)
And those that used to say hello (think for a minute)
Simply pass you by (stop for a minute)

[Chorus]
Think for a minute (think for a minute)
Stop for a minute (stop for a minute)
Think for a minute (think for a minute)
Stop for a minute (stop for a minute)
