Chumbawamba - Lest We Forget Lyrics | gotlyric.com

It's such an easy step
From lets forget to lest we forget
We haven't learned this yet
From Cold Harbor lane to Oklahoma and back again
The problems stay the same

It's such an easy step
From lets forget to lest we forget
We haven't learned this yet
We haven't learned this yet

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.
