Drip, Drip, Drip

Chumbawamba · Tubthumper [1998]

Eat, sleep and crap

For to prey on your needs

Down a dark street

In backwater Leeds

I seen yer comin'

Come in, lads!

You seen the ad?

Too bad, bad, bad



What you get

Is what you see

It's a trickledown theory

And it's coming to me

Life's a whip-round

And I've got the whip

It's a sinking ship

Drip, drip, drip



Drip, drip, drip goes the water (x4)



Take me in

Throw me out

Put me up

Let me down



Dark, satanic

Run-of-the-mill

Sing us a song

And I'll send you the bill

My nicotine grip

My smokin' gun

It's how I get my fun

Better run, run, run



Your olfactory nerves

All up the spout

You can't smell a rat

When your nose is out

Rent-to-kill

By any other name

Kiss an old flame

Shame, shame, shame



Drip, drip, drip goes the water(x4)



Take me in

Throw me out

Put me up

Let me down
