The Standing Still Lyrics

Chumbawamba The Standing Still

Sacrifice

Once upon a time
Days of wine and roses and smug suburban swine
Same old songs, same old cabaret
A fairytale in Notting Hill
Take your partners for the standing still

Once upon a time
Not so happy ending for the Mersey and the Tyne
Who said the story had to end this way?
A fairytale on Beeston Hill
Take your partners for the standing still

Stupid
Stupid
Stupid
...
