Refugee Lyrics

It's good of you to ask me sir
How I spend my days
Water glass and ladders sir
Working for my pay
Back home I saw a future sir
Learnt my father's trade
But here that counts for nothing sir
Paradise betrayed
Looking through the windows
All your world to see
To you I'm just another refugee
My mother needs the money sir
It's hard to make ends meet
Two more children still in school
Hungry mouths to feed

Looking through the windows
All your world to see
To you I'm just another refugee

Now this country is my home
This land of auctioneers
Cast your eye upon me sir
What price the dreams that brought me here?
Looking through the windows
All your world to see
Forever just another refugee.

Chumbawamba Lyrics
The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won. (2008)
When an Old Man Dies Add Me Words Can Save Us Hull or Hell El Fusilado Unpindownable I Wish That They'd Sack Me Word Bomber All Fur Coat & No Knickers Fine Line Lord Bateman's Motorbike A Fine Career To a Little Radio (Words Flew) Right Around the World Sing About Love Bury Me Deep You Watched Me Dance Compliments of Your Waitress RIP RP Charlie The Ogre Refugee Same Old Same Old Waiting for the Bus What We Want
