Released: January 19, 1998

Songwriter: Chumbawamba

Producer: Chumbawamba Neil Ferguson

[Verse 1]
Goodbye to the summer
Sold down the river
Unhappy ever after
Well, did you ever?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Did you ever reach for the glued-down penny?
Same old joke and it's not funny
Burns are red, bruises blue
Out with the old, cheated by the new

[Chorus]
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
(I don't remember)
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
(I don't remember)

[Verse 2]
You sing the same old verse
Stick like glue, for better or worse
What goes around comes around
Again, again, again

[Pre-Chorus 2]
This heart, pulled apart
Hydra fighting, head-to-head
Burns are red, bruises blue
Out with the old, cheated by the new

[Chorus]
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
(I don't remember)
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
(I don't remember)

[Bridge]
(Ooh-ooh)
Amnesia
(Ooh-ooh)

[Chorus]
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
(I don't remember)
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
(I don't remember)

[Outro 1]
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
(I don't remember)
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
(I don't remember)

[Outro 2/Interlude]
(Cut the head in half using a bandsaw)
(And scoop the brains out)
(Blast the brain out with water or air)
(Suck the brain out through a hole in the head)
(What about free speech?)
(What about free speech?)
(What about free speech?)
(Look, that's not the point)
(You're giving this place a bad name)
(I've got my position to think of)

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.
