artist: Chumbawamba feat. the Oyster Band song: Farewell to the Crown **sry for the bad quality of the pic^^' but it's the music that counts,not the pic ;p
Poacher come with his poacher's gun Out in the woods to shoot someone "My lord your time has come" Right between the eyes! Fell his master not by chance Away with pomp and circumstance Come join our merry dance To the rhythm of goodbye (Chorus) Farewell the jewel crown Farewell the velvet gown Watch it all come tumbling down Goodbye to the crown Goodbye to the crown Goodbye to the King of Nothing, really Wave of a hand, not a life of Riley Part Nazi, part King Billy Goodbye to the crown Goodbye to the dear old mum Mummified on gin and rum Smile and wave and just play dumb Goodbye to the crown (Repeat chorus) Goodbye to the media whore And all the pious work for the poor And all the faces that she wore Goodbye to the crown Goodbye to the royal We And all its famous pedigree Let's put this dog to sleep Goodbye to the crown (Repeat chorus)
I know. Out of all the tracks and bonus tracks listed on Wikipedia, only three are particularly mainstream (Tubthumping, Football Song, and Top of the World, and even then I find Tubthumping enjoyable enough as an individual song to tolerate it.
This crap is why I can't take young bloods seriously. The idea of tearing down the queens and crowns isn't to have a new underclass to spit and piss on. A slave is still a slave if he refuses to put down the whip after taking it from the overseer.
"Farewell to the Crown" was the reason I bought their single many many years ago. Not "I get knocked down". This is a powerful song with great messages.

Are you implying all the brits like the monarchy. I despise them lmao, wouldn’t listen to this if I liked em. Unfortunately we are a minority and most of our countrymen are boot lickers. Would love to give them the Romanov treatment ;)
David Smith yep so beautiful but i couldn't understand a word u know :D my second favourite anthem is SCOTLAND THE BRAVE PIPES & DRUMS ... my third is probably amazing grace
David Smith don't take this personal .. u know what's really odd to me if i may say.. ?? the results of the referundum of independence .. i never understood why people refuse to be free .... Do u understand the old language ??
"The life of Riley" simply means 'the good life', I guess like the dolce vita. King Billy is usually taken to mean King WIlliam the Third, also known as William of Orange.
This B side was released prior to Diana's death. I remember joking with the lovely Alice Nutter that they should play it at their next gig. She laughed and said ''we'd all probably get strung up if we did''
@@gyrobyte626 I dunno, check out the pics of him publicly feeling up his daughter around the time of his dear old mum's funeral... maybe it's different when it's one of his own kids though!
Blaring this all day today
Hell yeah!
Great song, BayBay! Long live 1997
Too right

She just fckin croaked - let's gooo!🎉
The queen is likely dying of old age today, farewell to the crown
Poacher come with his poacher's gun
Out in the woods to shoot someone
"My lord your time has come"
Right between the eyes!
Fell his master not by chance
Away with pomp and circumstance
Come join our merry dance
To the rhythm of goodbye
(Chorus)
Farewell the jewel crown
Farewell the velvet gown
Watch it all come tumbling down
Goodbye to the crown
Goodbye to the crown
Goodbye to the King of Nothing, really
Wave of a hand, not a life of Riley
Part Nazi, part King Billy
Goodbye to the crown
Goodbye to the dear old mum
Mummified on gin and rum
Smile and wave and just play dumb
Goodbye to the crown
(Repeat chorus)
Goodbye to the media whore
And all the pious work for the poor
And all the faces that she wore
Goodbye to the crown
Goodbye to the royal We
And all its famous pedigree
Let's put this dog to sleep
Goodbye to the crown
(Repeat chorus)
This can honestly apply to the current lot
Legend
One gone. Only so much more to go!
Good luck to the isles in the meantime.
Queen is dead boys! We are almost there!!
This will forever be relevant with each time one of those parasites finally hits the dust. Goodbye to the crown! :D
New national anthem
What a lovely day gentlemen
I’VE GOT SOME NEWS ABOUT THE QUEEN LADS

The People of Northern Ireland have spoken! This song should be blaring on a loudspeaker in Belfast.
Another wonderful day for this classic
Sept. 8, 2022: Farewell to the Queen of Nothing Really
AYYYYY LADS ONE DOWN TODAY
the kingdom will fall, long live the republic!
GUESS WHAT DAY IT IS LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
Y'know, I don't know how anyone can say Chumbawamba sold out with Tubthumping when THIS song was on it.
I know. Out of all the tracks and bonus tracks listed on Wikipedia, only three are particularly mainstream (Tubthumping, Football Song, and Top of the World, and even then I find Tubthumping enjoyable enough as an individual song to tolerate it.
oh good for you! who cares?
The point of the comment section is to make opinions be heard, however smart or stupid.
tubthumping was a trap to trick people into hearing their other work.
@@HwahTV Pictures of starving children help sell records. John West is the best!
Happy Days!
the day has come
New gender neutral bathroom dropped. The Queen's grave ;)

why is this masterpiece not on spotify?^^
SAME
ONG THIS IS WHY IM HERE COZ I THOUGHT I JUST COULDNT FIND IT LINK AH THATAS SO ANNOYING
@Lalala Lan Pa but most of their songs are? Does not make sense to me^^
Same
Maybe because it's anarchist and anti royal maybe?
this just popped up in my recommendations on its own. Based
And red pilled
It is with great sorrow that I announce that Prince Andrew has outlived Queen Elizabeth II.
"Farewell to the Crown" was the reason I bought their single many many years ago. Not "I get knocked down". This is a powerful song with great messages.
Listened to this as soon as I heard the queen died
Have fun downstairs Phil, here's hoping your wife joins you soon.
Didn't have to wait long
song is relevant again i see
I"ve got this teed up today and ready to go
IT FINALLY HAPPENED FOLKS
Came back to this again lel
GOODBYE TO THE CROWN!

I'm saddened to hear that HRH Prince Philip did not live long enough to see a free Scotland and a reunited Ireland.
Nor did Lizzy.

Greetings to all the Brits, have a good day :-)
Are you implying all the brits like the monarchy.
I despise them lmao, wouldn’t listen to this if I liked em. Unfortunately we are a minority and most of our countrymen are boot lickers. Would love to give them the Romanov treatment ;)
Good day everyone
Let's fuckin go boys
Good song for today's crab dance!
Any day now...
It’s time to celebrateeeeee
Goodbye!!!
This is a song to play today
Celebrate comrades! One more tyrant gone forever!

As a welshman this is my second national anthem after hen wlad.
+David Smith thanks to u i listened to hen wlad today coz i'm not from ur country

David Smith
yep so beautiful but i couldn't understand a word u know :D
my second favourite anthem is SCOTLAND THE BRAVE PIPES & DRUMS ... my third is probably amazing grace
+megranita oddly enough in English it's called "land of my fathers" but its Welsh name means "old land of my fathers"...

don't take this personal .. u know what's really odd to me if i may say.. ?? the results of the referundum of independence .. i never understood why people refuse to be free ....

Sometimes you dont need to be the target demographic to enjoy someone elses red letter day B)
To a happy future (:
LETS GOOOO
Had to come listen to this today!
Aaaaaand another one!
CROMWELL’S DREAM
He believed in crowns he just didn't believe in his wearing it.
WHO ELSE IS HERE RIGHT AFTER SEEING LIZZIES DEATH
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"The life of Riley" simply means 'the good life', I guess like the dolce vita. King Billy is usually taken to mean King WIlliam the Third, also known as William of Orange.

Been blaring this all day
There we go! 🎉🎉
Just heard the Queens dead.

Often unpopular, but never wrong.
If Cromwell hadn't been such an arse this may have been reality 300 or so years ago.
+Brahnan n Sod that, if Watt Tyler and John Ball had succeeded this might have been reality for more than 700 years.

Instead of getting a letter from The Queen when you turn 100, you now get a text from Prince Andrew whwn you turn 14."

14? thats probably a bit old for andrew
@@gyrobyte626 I dunno, check out the pics of him publicly feeling up his daughter around the time of his dear old mum's funeral... maybe it's different when it's one of his own kids though!
This song pretty much sums up both the naivety and hypocrisy of the Royal Family and I love it!
Why wasn't this on the original Tubthumping album, in the United States??? i would have loved to have heard this back when I was young!
Today is a wonderful day!
