Chumbawamba - Football Song Lyrics | gotlyric.com

Season's end
And the stands come down
One less heart
In one more town
Boxed and warm
And quiet as stone
See the animals feed
On animal bones
It's oh so nice

And it's oh so nice
It's oh so dull
But it's oh so nice
Season's end
And the stands come down
One less heart
In one more town
But it's oh so nice

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.
