One by One Lyrics


Pontius Pilot came to our town
Up to the dockyards
To see the picket line
We asked him to help
But he just turned around
He's the leader of the union nowLeader of the union
All of our questions he ignored
He washed his hands
And he dreamt of his reward
A seat in the House of LordsOne by one
The ships come sailing in
One by one
The ships go sailing outWe live for words and die for words
Principles we can afford
When all our brothers turn to Lords
Whose side are you on?You tell the world your hands are tied
History three times denied
A sea of changes, three miles wide

Whose side are you on?One by one
The ships come sailing in
One by one
The ships go sailing outThis conspiracy of shame
Murder by some other name
Pay up and play the game
Whose side are you on?If any ask us why we died?
We tell them that our leaders lied
Sold us out, down the riverside
Whose side are you on?One by one
The ships come sailing in
One by one
The ships go sailing outOne by one
The ships come sailing in
One by one
The ships go sailing outOne by one
The ships come sailing in
One by one
The ships go sailing outOne by one
The ships come sailing in
One by one
The ships go sailing out

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.
