Chumbawamba - Puccini Said Lyrics | gotlyric.com

(opera in background)

Maria, she sits in the same easy chair
Framed by the sun from outside
Sings 'Madame Butterfly' over again
Black daisies
For the bride

(opera in background)

Encores and curtain calls, flowers and cheers
And so many people to see!
Puccini said "One day, Miss Tobyn
You'll be singing this song just for me
Just for me"

Chumbawamba

Anarcho-pop band from Leeds.

Originally formed in the early 1980s as Chimp Eats Banana, Chumbawamba first emerged in the anarchopunk scene which was dominated by bands such a pacifist punks Crass. As Chumbawamba increasingly differed from their peers in outlook and tactics, they began to adopt a new musical style which incorporated elements of folk music, indie rock and hip-hop.

After drifting between labels, their change in direction culminated in signing a record deal with major label EMI, a choice which sparked outrage amongst their former comrades, outrage that culminated in a “Fuck Chumbawamba” compilation. By chance, Chumbawamba’s new work with EMI resulted in an internationally best-selling single, “Tubthumping”, and a sudden rise to fame.
