Lyrics Chumbawamba – Rubens Has Been Shot!
Text:
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
How bent your branches seem to be
Nineteen twenty-one and all’s well
Another fifteen years and we’ll be laughing in hell
One bullet straight through the heart
Rubens caught a ricochet, Durer’s lady cried today
Cracked old masters up against the wall
Rubens caught a ricochet, Durer’s lady cried today
Cracked old masters up against the wall
Blue-faced Wendy Woolworth—she’s seen it all
Housepainter, housepainter
Hanging your swastika wallpaper
Rows of pretty cabbageheads to gobble up your words
Laughing along to your blah, blah, blah
