Chubawamba - Tubthumping
Ladies and gentlemen number 12 on Rolling Stone magazine's 20 Most Annoying Songs, well I beg to differ, this song might not have the most passionate and meaningful lyrics in the world, but it does indeed have a wicked sounding melody and the passion of a british anarcho-punk band as well as the fame of reaching number 6 in 1997's Billboard Hot 100 chart. No go ahead give it a listen have a beer and do some tubthumping!
(I thought that music mattered.)
(But does it? Bollocks! Not compared to how people matter)
(We'll be singing, when we're winning, we'll be singing)
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You nay ever gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You nay ever gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You nay ever gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You nay ever gonna keep me down
(Pissing the night away, pissing the night away)
He drinks a Whiskey drink, he drinks a Vodka drink
He drinks a Lager drink, he drinks a Cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him of the best times
(Oh Danny Boy, Danny Boy, Danny Boy)
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You nay ever gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You nay ever gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You nay ever gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You nay ever gonna keep me down
(Pissing the night away, pissing the night away)
He drinks a Whiskey drink, he drinks a Vodka drink
He drinks a Lager drink, he drinks a Cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him of the best times
(Don't cry for me, next door neighbour)
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You nay ever gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again

I get knocked down, but I get up again
You nay ever gonna keep me down

I used lyrics from this song for the title of these bowling photos of mine. http://www.photoblog.ie/2012/02/08/i-get-knocked-down-but-i-get-up-again/
ReplyDeleteIn my photogrpahy website every photo post has a related music title.
It took me a while to think of a suitable title for these photos as I don't know many songs that refer to bowling. And then it struck me and "I get knocked down but I get up again" fit perfectly"
