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.

Here are the chords for the Housemartins songs I know. Any
other contributions would be grateful.
SHEEP
A Bm E D
Sometimes I get so angry with the simple life they lead
A Bm E D
The Shepherds smile seems to confirm my fears
A Bm E D
They've never questioned anything, they never disagreed
A Bm E D
Sometimes I think they must have wool in their ears
And when you see a cane I see a crock
And when you see a crowd I see a flock
Its 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
Now when I'm tired and I'm trying to get to sleep
I count humans jumping onto trains
Bridge riff is:
E----------------------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------3--2-----------
G---------2--2--------2--4------------------2--------
D---2--4--------2--4--------2--4--2--2---------2--4--
A----------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------
The next part is an arpeggio of the four chords. This song
is just a repeat of those chords over and over. Listen to the
song and you'll figure out the rhythm. It took me a while to
get it down.
"You never know when you'll be in need
of those you've despised"
