Chumbawamba - Ratatatay paroles de chanson

paroles de chanson Ratatatay - Chumbawamba



George looks gorgeous in pinstripes,
Pocket handkerchief and cravat,
Swaggering out of the Band On The
Wall in a burgundy Homberg hat,
Singing "Ratatatay, ratatatay!" George
After-hours and the worse for whisky
When somebody shouts "Hey, you!" in
A pitch-black Manchester backstreet
... well, what's a poor singer to do but
Sing "Ratatatay, ratatatay"? Two men
Flashing a knife blade, saying "give us
Your notes and your watch" - Singing
The backstreet stand-off to the rhythm
Of the fear and the scotch. George, not
Wanting to feel the knife, cornered
And speeding and scared ... from the
Back of his mind comes 'Ursonate',
Sound and fury and words. He sings:
"Ratatatay, ratatatay!" So the robbers
Are stuck to the spot now, watching
George as he sings for his life. Menace
Turns to panic and they turn and run
And the song waves goodbye to the
Knife - singing "Ratatatay, ratatatay!"

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.
