Chumbawamba

There's a storm
In every port
There's a storm

There's a storm
In every port

In Liverpool or South Georgia
Listen to the words of a bribed reporter

Propaganda keeps us dumb
Believing all the shit that we read in The Sun

There's a storm
In every port
There's a storm

There's a storm
In every port

People die
We don't ask why
We're passive and we're happy
And we're fed on lies

We have to try!

There's a storm
In every port
There's a storm

There's a storm
In every port

Yeah...

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.
