Marching Round in CirclesChumbawamba

Marching round in circles round another institution
Whilst the people on the inside are planning our destruction
Marching round in circles round another institution
Another demonstration that our freedom's an illusion

They knew that we were coming
We asked them if we could
They organized our protest
They laid it on for us
They let us make a noise
They let us march around
In a specially built police-cell
They call Trafalgar Square

If no-one breaks the rules
Nothing will change
If no-one breaks the laws
It will always be the same
Step out of line
Increase our demands
If we don't break the rules
We just go round and round and round and round and round

Marching round in circles round another institution
Whilst the people on the inside are planning our destruction
Marching round in circles round another institution
Another demonstration that our freedom's an illusion

They knew that we were coming
We asked them if we could
They organized our protest
They laid it on for us
They let us make a noise
They let us march around
In a specially built police-cell
They call Hyde Park

If no-one breaks the rules
Nothing will change
If no-one breaks the laws
It will always be the same
Step out of line
Increase our demands
If we don't break the rules
We just go round and round and round and round and round

[Song repeats from beginning]

Round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round

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.
