I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN
« on: 18 May 2008, 09:55 »
I get knocked down
But I get up again
Youre never going to
Keep me down

Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that
Remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that
Remind him
Of the better times:

Oh danny boy
Danny boy
Danny boy...

I get knocked down
But I get up again
Youre never going to
Keep me down

Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that
Remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that
Remind him
Of the better times:

Dont cry for me
Next door neighbour...

I get knocked down
But I get up again
Youre never going to
Keep me down

Well be singing
When were winning
Well be singing

Aside from that song, Chumbawamba actually have rather a lot of good anarcho-punk music.

Loved the interview after that song took off where the girl in the band said "Honestly, we don't care if people shoplift our CD" or whatever and the label got pissed off.

I've only heard like 3 other chumbawumba tunes.

They're good, this one is the best. Redownloading it 30 minutes ago was a very nostalgic and worthwhile experience!

You seriously don't like any of the many albums they made prior to having that hit single?  I find that odd.

I was pretty young when that song came out, and I remember giggling like an idiot when I realized the girl was singing "pissing the night away."

HEE HEE! PISS!

Also: Bilge Pump, Canvas, Polaris, Fig 4.0, Kito, Snail Racing, Jupiter Lander, Mob Rules, Voorhees, Warboys, Feint, Solanki, War All The Time and a ton of others. I couldn't resist, kind of my specialist subject.

I seem to remember liking Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records alright when someone played it to me. Tubthumping was pretty bad though, and so is their new folk approach.

I was working on a version of Tubthumping re-interpreted, Laibach-style, into a martial-industrial fascist anthem for a compilation CD, but I never got around to recording the vocals, mainly because I couldn't get a german translation to scan.

I did pretty much finish the music though, all it's really missing is some really crunchy marching jackboot samples and maybe some different instrument voices.

I also saw Chumbawamba playing a live acoustic set locally, it was pretty fun, actually.

Fun fact about Chumbawumba: They used to live in a squat about two minutes from my house.

I have nothing else to contribute to this thread.

Little known fact -- there was a period when The Wedding Present did Ukrainian folk inspired rock.  It sounds a little bit like DeVotchKa and Gogol Bordello, and it's rather good (if you're into that sort of thing).

Also, fuck Chumbawamba.
