The Housemartins: Think for a Minute (1986)
August 18, 2016 - 11:00 AM
How interesting that this Christian new wave band managed to get the catalogue number GODX 13 for this EP. I wonder if that was intentional or lucky. Anyway, this record contains a new version of Think for a Minute along with I Smell Winter. The b-side has Who Needs the Limelight, Joy Joy Joy, and Rap Around the Clock. Now, Joy Joy Joy is a gospel tune, written, apparently, by Charles Hutchinson Gabriel. It stinks.
I got that
Joy, joy, joy, joy,
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart,
I got that
Joy, joy, joy, joy,
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart to stay
I know the devil doesn't like it,
But, it's down in my heart,
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart,
I know the devil doesn't like it,
But, it's down in my heart,
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart to stay
When my young child heard it, she asked what the debble was. I laughed and told her the devil is a mythical creature, just like the g-ds.
