Chumbawamba - Tubthumping Lyrics

Lyrics Tubthumping - Chumbawamba



(Truth is I thought it mattered
I thought that music mattered
But does it? bollocks!
Not compared to our people matter)
(We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing)
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
(Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away)
He drinks a whiskey 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 best times
(Oh Danny Boy
Danny Boy
Danny Boy)
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
(Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away)
He drinks a whiskey 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 best times
(Don't cry for me
Next door neighbour)
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
but I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down (we'll be singing)
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down (when we're winning)
I get knocked down (we'll be singing)
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down (ooh)
I get knocked down (we'll be singing)
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down (when we're winning)
I get knocked down (we'll be singing)
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down (ooh)
I get knocked down (we'll be singing)
But I get up again (pissing the night away)
You're never gonna keep me down (when we're winning)
I get knocked down (we'll be singing)
But I get up again (pissing the night away)
You're never gonna keep me down (ooh)
I get knocked down (we'll be singing)
But I get up again (pissing the night away)
You're never gonna keep me down (when we're winning)
I get knocked down (we'll be singing)
But I get up again (pissing the night away)
You're never gonna keep me down (ooh)
I get knocked down, (we'll be singing)
But I get up again (pissing the night away)
You're never gonna keep me down (when we're winning)
I get knocked down (we'll be singing)
But I get up again (pissing the night away)
You're never gonna keep me down (ooh)
I get knocked down (we'll be singing)
But I get up again (pissing the night away)
You're never gonna keep me down (when we're winning)
I get knocked down (we'll be singing)
But I get up again (pissing the night away)
You're never gonna keep me down (ooh)
I get knocked down (we'll be singing)
But I get up again (pissing the night away)
You're never gonna keep me down (when we're winning)
I get knocked down (we'll be singing)
But I get up again (pissing the night away)
You're never gonna keep me down (ooh)
I get knocked down (we'll be singing)
But I get up again (pissing the night away)
You're never gonna keep me down (when we're winning)
