Lyrics Chumbawamba – Laughter In A Time Of War
Text:
Sometimes feels like singing your life away
F sharp minor up and down the motorway
Too dog-tired; wouldn’t want it any other way
Laughter in a time of War
Love on a Monday, football on a Saturday
Home-grown strawberries to justify the rain
Sometimes I do, but I shouldn’t complain
Laughter in a time of War
Oh my soul
We got oil for the pan
We got rock n roll
Laughter lines run deeper than skin
And the world’s just
Something that the cat brought in
Late summer evening after the attack
Food from the aeroplanes wrapped up in a flag
He went for the money but he won’t come back
Laughter in a time of War
Take my life and sing it back to me
My big mouth, it’s my own worst enemy
Funny how it all sounds better in harmony
Laughter in a time of War
Oh my soul
Repeat
The people at the top have further to fall
Home-grown strawberries to justify the rain
Sometimes I do, but I shouldn’t complain
Laughter in a time of War
Oh my soul
We got oil for the pan
We got rock n roll
Laughter lines run deeper than skin
And the world’s just
Something that the cat brought in
Late summer evening after the attack
Food from the aeroplanes wrapped up in a flag
He went for the money but he won’t come back
Laughter in a time of War
Take my life and sing it back to me
My big mouth, it’s my own worst enemy
Funny how it all sounds better in harmony
Laughter in a time of War
Oh my soul
Repeat
The people at the top have further to fall
