The german translation of the "Tubthumper" lyrics.
Lyrics for Farewell To The Crown
|
(Here's a description:) It's pop, rock, jungle, hip-hop, rock n roll. It's got trumpets, harmonies, a hymn, a million samples, a few swearwords. It's a couple of minutes under an hour in length.
There are twelve songs and as many smaller half-songs, all linked and squashed and threaded together.
The lyrics cover stuff from homelessness to the Liverpool Dockworkers' Strike, from refusing Catholicism to dissecting "New" Labour. The Sleeve will be crammed-to-bursting with information, poetry, discussion, and addresses for each of the songs; Tubthumper is about carrying on the fine tradition of spreading subversive information!
For anyone outside Britain, a "tubthumper" is an orator, a ranter, a soap-box speaker. Emma Goldman standing on a wall outside a New York factory, fist in the air, rallying people against their exploitation by wealthy bosses.
