The Housemartins Sheep song lyrics

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

Sometimes I think they must have wool in their ears

And when you see a can I see a crook

And when you see a crowd I see a flock

It's sheep we're up against

Sheep we're up against

When I was young they used to get me counting sheep

But the counting I did was all in vain

Now when I'm tired and I'm trying to get to sleep

I count humans jumping onto trains

And when you see a can I see a crook

And when you see a crowd I see a flock

It's sheep we're up against

Sheep we're up against

(Influential Guitar Break)

And when you see a can I see a crook

And when you see a crowd I see a flock

It's sheep we're up against

Sheep we're up against
