Chumbawamba

[Chorus] (2x)
Can't hear 'cos your mouth's full of shit
Can't hear 'cos your mouth's full of shit
Do something about it
Can't hear 'cos your mouth's full of shit

[Verse 1]
Well I'm really back to basics right beside a bar
Choke the double trouble big one to the joker with card
Good call
What's the crack what's the damage done today
From teh commons to the common a banana skin away
Knock it back knock it out
Chuck a nightmare dart
Quiet
Compere on the mic turns turning to the court
Putting beef vol-au-vents across the union jack
Bolinger and bitter says the colonies are back

[Chorus] (2x)
Can't hear 'cos your mouth's full of shit
Can't hear 'cos your mouth's full of shit
Do something about it
Can't hear 'cos your mouth's full of shit

[Post-Chorus] (2x)
You think you're god's gift
You're liar
I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire

[Chorus] (2x)
Can't hear 'cos your mouth's full of shit
Can't hear 'cos your mouth's full of shit
Do something about it
Can't hear 'cos your mouth's full of shit

[Verse 2]
Up yer ronson
Take a tab
With a flash of zippo light
Catch the hip parade passing the polaroids right
Check the manic little rebel with a bottle in his hand
A rhyming manifesto and a butty from his mam
Local lad made bad with cowboy charm
Claims he doesn't really mean every screw-'em-all barb
Pass the mic
Karaoke with the yesteryear stars
Time to weep into your beer til the fireworks start

[Chorus] (2x)
Can't hear 'cos your mouth's full of shit
Can't hear 'cos your mouth's full of shit
Do something about it
Can't hear 'cos your mouth's full of shit

[Post-Chorus] (2x)
You think you're god's gift
You're liar
I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire

[Chorus] (6x)
Can't hear 'cos your mouth's full of shit
Can't hear 'cos your mouth's full of shit
Do something about it
Can't hear 'cos your mouth's full of shit

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.
