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.

The Housemartins - Think For A Minute!
(Heaton/Cullimore)
Just A and B7 (or B7add11, 0-0-2-1-2-0) all the way through. Enjoy!
[Verse]
A B7
Something's going on, a change is taking place
A B7
Children smiling in the street have gone without a trace
This street used to be full, it used to make me smile
And now it seems that everyone is walking single file
[Bridge]
And many hand their heads in shame
That used to hold them high
And those that used to say hello
Simply pass you by
[Chorus]
Think for a minute, stop for a minute
Think for a minute, stop for a minute
[Verse]
I always said it could, they never though it would
The people look so pitiful, I'm thinking that it should
And now it's almost here, now it's on it's way
I can't help saying told you so and have a nice final day
[Bridge]
And nothing I could say
Could ever make them see the light
Now apathy is happy that
It won without a fight
[Chorus]
Think for a minute, stop for a minute
Think for a minute, stop for a minute
[Bridge]
And many hang their heads in shame that used to hold them high
(think for a minute)
And those that used to say hello simply pass you by
(stop for a minute)
[Chorus]
Think for a minute, stop for a minute
Think for a minute, stop for a minute
