Chumbawamba - When I'm Bad Lyrics

Lyrics When I'm Bad - Chumbawamba



They try in vain our minds to chain
They try in vain our minds to chain
I'm up in the stars
Looking down at the gutter
When I'm good I'm very good
But when I'm bad I'm better
Oh barman, fill this glass again
And keep on pouring 'til death says when
Oh barman, fill it to the top
And we'll be drinking 'til the singing has to stop
They try in vain our minds to chain
They try in vain our minds to chain
A B C D E F G
The only notes that matter
When I'm good I'm very good
But when I'm bad I'm better
Oh barman, fill this glass again
And keep on pouring 'til death says when
Oh barman, fill it to the top
And we'll be drinking 'til the singing has to stop
They try in vain our minds to chain
They try in vain our minds to chain
They try in vain our minds to chain
Me and all my friends are comming 'round to your house
And were not going to go until we get thrown out
Me and all my friends are comming 'round to your house
And were not going to go until we get thrown out
Me and all my friends are comming 'round to your house
And were not going to go until we get thrown out
Me and all my friends are comming 'round to your house
And were not going to go until we get thrown out
Oh barman, fill this glass again
They try in vain our minds to chain
Oh barman, fill this glass again
They try in vain our minds to chain
Oh barman, fill this glass again
They try in vain our minds to chain

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.
