Don't Try This At Home Lyrics


It's a long walk to the gallows
It's a small step to swing free
The crying in the tower
For my conspirators and me
Gunpowder and modem
And a dream of libertyAnd then they'll tell you
"Don't try this at home"
Oh yes, they'll tell you
"Don't try this at home"If you walk on the beach with King Canute
You'll be walking back alone
Tonight, he'll dine on oysters
While we fall like green acorns
We'll be putting down our roots
Right in the center of the stormOh, but they'll tell you
"Don't try this at home"
Oh yes, they'll tell you
"Don't try this at home"The cry of gulls
The hum of streets

The buzz of phones
The march of feetWe'll meet tonight
To draw up plans
Exclamations
AmpersandsSomewhere across the water
They're storming palace gates
Scared of the moth-flame metaphor
We fall asleep and wait
Singing for a future
But the chorus comes too lateBecause they'll tell you
"Don't try this at home"
Oh yes, they'll tell you
"Don't try this at home"Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don'tDon't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don'tDon't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don'tSo we're coming to the last dance
I've got another request
With your best foot forward
We'll lay this ghost to restSo we're coming to the last dance
I've got another request
With your best foot forward
We'll lay this ghost to restSo we're coming to the last dance
I've got another request

Chumbawamba are an English musical group formed in 1982 in the Leeds squatting community. They have, over a career spanning nearly three decades, played punk rock, pop-influenced music, world music, and folk music. Their vocal anarchist politics exhibit an irreverent attitude toward authority; the band have been forthright in their syndicalist, pacifist, communist, mutlicultural, and feminist social stances.

The band are best known for their song "Tubthumping." Other singles have included "Amnesia," "Enough Is Enough" (with MC Fusion), "Timebomb," "Top of the World (Ole, Ole, Ole)," and most recently, "Add Me."

On 7th July 2012 they announced their impending breakup before the end of the year.
