Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - Unpindownable




Unpindownable
Impossible à épingler
In the age before the information age
À l'époque d'avant l'ère de l'information
Making history and living for the days
Faire l'histoire et vivre pour les jours
We told our stories then in oh so many ways
Nous avons raconté nos histoires alors de tant de manières
We were unpindownable
Nous étions impossibles à épingler
The moth it changed between the chimney and the tree
Le papillon de nuit changeait entre la cheminée et l'arbre
I grew feet so I could crawl out from the sea
J'ai grandi des pieds pour pouvoir ramper hors de la mer
No-one dares to tell me what I'm going to be
Personne n'ose me dire ce que je vais être
For I am unpindownable.
Car je suis impossible à épingler.

Исполнитель Chumbawamba, альбом The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won.
