Lyrics - Sheep by Housemartins

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
No 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
