Chumbawamba

Is she really going out with him?
Not anymore!

Georgina's cooking supper for her husband
All her friends are coming round to see the show
Cos the thief she calls her husband won't be hungry
When he see's whats on the end of his fork

(Chorus)
Georgina isn't asking anymore and
Her lover isn't asking anymore and
The cook isn't asking anymore since
The thief met a bullet on the way to the floor

Georgina's got a timebomb in her stomach
She knows that any minute now she's gonna blow
With all the pain and the silence that she feeds on
With all the hurt that the bruises can't show

(Chorus)

Georgina's got an appetite for vengeance
And she sings all the songs from Oliver
She won't be wanting seconds anymore
As she tightens up he grip of her trigger finger

(Chorus)
(repeat till fade out)

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.
