Housemartins - Anxious Lyrics

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 
The way they talk about it makes me want to spit 

And they're raising all their eyebrows at the raising of the pound 
Whilst they raise another city to the ground 
And we're opening the doors and walking 'round on all fours 
Looking for a sense in lost and found 

Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious
Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious 

I really thought I'd have my tongue ties if I stood up to shout 
But all they did was listen without their ears 
And I thought I'd be beheaded if I stuck my neck out 
But they just gave me a hanky for my tears 

I have confidence in confidence, I hope that hope pulls me through 
But I think a little more is needed now 
We've got to form a congregation and sink down the nation 
Batter all the sinners to the ground 

Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious 
Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious 

[A middle bit of some repute] 

Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious 
Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious
