(Your world, my world)
(Your world, my world)

San Christobal on New Year's Day (your world, my world)
Sunny beach, L.A. (your world, my world)
Blue and coral Kirkstall skies (your world, my world)
Timorese sunrise (your world, my world)
Fairfield Horseshoe in the snow (your world, my world)
Clashing worlds in Tokyo (your world, my world)
All the bars in County Cork (your world, my world)
Heavy rain, New York (your world, my world)

I sailed the seven seas
Carved my love on trees
I brought the whole world home with me
Home with me

(Your world, my world)

Barcelona cobbled streets (your world, my world)
Paris, 1968 (your world, my world)
Words along the Berlin wall (your world, my world)
When it's just about to fall (your world, my world)

I sailed the seven seas
Carved my love on trees
I brought the whole world home with me
Home with me

(Your world, my world)
(Your world, my world)
(Your world, my world)

Gracelands, Memphis, Tennessee (your world, my world)
Killing time, Napoli (your world, my world)
Autumn Warsaw, grey and green (your world, my world)
Kronstadt 1917 (your world, my world)

I sailed the seven seas
Carved my love on trees
I brought the whole world home with me
Home with me

I sailed the seven seas
Carved my love on trees
I brought the whole world home with me
Home with 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.
