Chumbawamba - Voices, That's All Lyrics

Lyrics Voices, That's All - Chumbawamba



Seigfried Sassoon on the Dunbar End (Everyone sang)
When strangers became your new best friends (Everyone sang)
It was Armistice Day, and peace broke out (Everyone sang)
Sometimes a melody is louder than a shout. (Everyone sang)
Somebody struck up a song
We didn't know the words but still we sang along.
Just our voices, that's all,
Everywhere a concert hall.
Voices, that's all
Lullaby and call.
Chucking out time at the bar on the corner (Everyone sang)
From the Albion tap room to California (Everyone sang)
In the olden days before they put in a jukebox (Everyone sang)
"Please to put a penny in the old man's voice box." (Everyone sang)
Somebody struck up a song
We didn't know the words but still we sang along.
Just our voices, that's all,
Everywhere a concert hall.
Voices, that's all
Lullaby and call.
Lost in the middle of a demonstration (Everyone sang)
All power to imagination (Everyone sang)
Your song it sounds a whole lot better (Everyone sang)
When everyone sings that song together (Everyone sang)
Somebody struck up a song
We didn't know the words but still we sang along.
Just our voices, that's all,
Everywhere a concert hall.
Voices, that's all
Lullaby and call.
Just our voices, that's all,
Everywhere a concert hall.
Voices, that's all
Lullaby and call.
Just our voices, that's all.

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.
