The Beautiful South were a British pop group formed in 1989, from the ashes of Hull, England group The Housemartins. The band was put together by lead singer, Paul Heaton, and drummer, Dave Hemingway. They were joined by Sean Welch (Bass), Dave Stead (Drums) and Dave Rotheray (Guitar). Rotheray also co-writes the songs with Heaton.
In The Beautiful South, Heaton shared the lead singer's role with Hemingway and female singer Briana Corrigan to create a trio of lead vocalists.

AmFC I'm walking through these pastures GAm I'm picking up sweet fruit FG I'm shaking hands with people CAm That previously I'd shoot FC But nothing will dissuade me GAm Nothing will dilute FGCAm I want to execute FCGAm I want to execute
DmGCF And you tend to meet a lot of scum en route DmFCG It doesn't mean you've joined the other side DmGCF And because I still wear shorts and my smile is oh so cute DmGCG It doesn't mean I'll run away and hide
[Chorus] CFGC To a world where the leaders finally confess (I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes) CFGC To the burning of the Stock Exchange and bombing of the press (I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes) [end Chorus]
CFGC I think the answer's yes, yes, yes, I think the answer's yes

AmFC I'm walking through these corridors GAm Where crime meets pantomime FG They're laughing and they're drinking CAm On the swill of overtime FC And no-one seems to know about GAm The death-wish that they've signed FGCAm Ah, life's unkind FCGAm Ah, life's unkind
DmGCF And they see me as a potential new recruit DmFCG They rub their hands, slap their backs and smile DmGCF But I still wear suspenders underneath my business suit DmGCG So needn't worry about me for a while
[Chorus]

AmFC And no-one seems to know about GAm The death-wish that they've signed FGCAm Ah, life's unkind FCGAmGAm Ah, life's unkind GAm Life's unkind, life's unkind GAm >From poor old U2 to poor old Simple Minds GAmG No amnesty for murderers of poor old working class AmGAm Rope or gas, rope or gas, rope or gas GAm No amnesty for murderers of poor old working class GAmGAm Rope or gas, rope or gas
