Step Outside - The Housemartins

Well the wall’s to wet to sit on

And there’s a curtain right over my head

Stamp my feet waiting for a bus

But decide to walk instead

And the american saxophoner follows me

All the way from the tele to the public house

My fingers are always in my ears

But the reeds always in their mouth

And if you’ve ever crossed your heart and hoped to die

The voices in your head saying you must cry

Then there’s more to you than meets the eye

But if you go about your business with capital b

They’re sure to cut you up with a capital c

And then you will be dead with a capital d

Just step outside

Well we could stop for a conversasion

If we could think of anything to say

But you know you’ve got nothing to talk about

When nothing happened yesterday

And if I ever commited a murder

I think I’d go about it this way

Never mine a rope or a dagger and a cloak

I could spend a week on this estate

And if you’ve ever crossed your heart and hoped to die

The voices in your head saying you must cry

Then there’s more to you than meets the eye

But if you go about your business with capital b

They’re sure to cut you up with a capital c

And then you will be dead with a capital a

Just step outside

What are you doing tomorrow

And the day after and the day after that

Got some money I can borrow?

I’ve become the person I’ve admired

And if you’ve ever crossed your heart and hoped to die

The voices in your head saying you must cry

Then there’s more to you than meets the eye

But if you go about your business with capital b

They’re sure to cut you up with a capital c

And then you will be dead with a capital b
