Biografía:
El grupo fue fundado en Hull en 1984 por Heaton que volvía de un largo viaje por Europa. El primero en atender su propuesta fue Cullimore. A continuación se unen a ellos Whitaker y Ted Key que estaban en un grupo llamado Gargoyles. Emipieza un período de giras que hace que las discográficas se fijen en el cuarteto. Acaban firmando contrato con Gol Records y son promocionados con el eslogan "Cuarto mejor grupo de Hull".
El primer single, "Flag day", sale en octubre de 1985, pero no entra en listas.

ME AND THE FARMER
G (barre on 3rd) C (barre on 3rd)
Me and the farmer get on fine
A (barre on 5th) D (barre on 5th)
Through stormy weather and bottles of wine
G C
If I pull my weight he'll treat me well
A D G
But I'f I'm late he'll give me hell
Bm
And though it's all hard work no play
C
Farmer is a happy crook,
Bm
Jesus hates him every day,
C A D
Cause Jesus gave and Farmer took
G C
Won't he let you go probably no
A D
Won't he let you go probably no
G C
Why does he treat you so? I just don't know
A D
Why does he treat you so? I just don't know
C
Me and the farmer like brother, like sister
D
Getting on like hand and blister
C D
Me and the farmer
He's chopped down sheep, planted trees
And helped the countryside to breathe
Ripped up fields, bullied flocks
And worked his workers right around the clock.
It may seem strange but he'd admit
Intentions aren't exactlt true
And though God loves his wife a bit
He hates the farmer through and through
All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All we've got is London Zoo
'cause farmer owns them all
