I Get Knocked Down But I Get Up Again Lyrics
[Spoken Interlude: Danny from "Brassed Off"]
Truth is, I thought it mattered
I thought that music mattered
But does it? Bollocks!
Not compared to how people matter
[Intro: Chumbawamba]
We'll be singin'
When we're winnin'
We'll be singin'
[Chorus: Chumbawamba]
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
[Verse 1: Danbert Nobacon & Lou Watts]
Pissin' the night away, pissin' the night away
He drinks a Whiskey drink, he drinks a Vodka drink
He drinks a Lager drink, he drinks a Cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him of the better times
Oh, Danny Boy, Danny Boy, Danny Boy
[Chorus: Chumbawamba]
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
[Verse 2: Boff Whalley & Lou Watts]
Pissin' the night away, pissin' the night away
He drinks a Whiskey drink, he drinks a Vodka drink
He drinks a Lager drink, he drinks a Cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him of the better times
Don't cry for me, next-door neighbour
[Chorus: Chumbawamba]
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down
[Horn Solo]

Spanish Version Lyrics
[Interludio hablado: Danny de "Brassed Off"]
La verdad es que pensé que importaba
Pensé que la música importaba
¿Pero lo hace? ¡Cojones!
No se compara con la importancia de las personas
[Introducción: Chumbawamba]
Estaremos cantando
Cuando estamos ganando
Estaremos cantando
[Estribillo: Chumbawamba]
Me derriban, pero me vuelvo a levantar
Nunca me vas a reprimir
Me derriban pero me vuelvo a levantar
Nunca me vas a reprimir
Me derriban, pero me vuelvo a levantar
Nunca me vas a reprimir
Me derriban, pero me vuelvo a levantar
Nunca me vas a reprimir
[Verso 1: Danbert Nobacon y Lou Watts]
Orinando toda la noche, orinando toda la noche
Bebe un trago de whisky, bebe un trago de vodka
Bebe una bebida Lager, bebe una bebida de Sidra
Canta las canciones que le recuerdan los buenos tiempos
Canta las canciones que le recuerdan los mejores tiempos
Oh, Danny Boy, Danny Boy, Danny Boy
[Estribillo: Chumbawamba]
Me derriban, pero me vuelvo a levantar
Nunca me vas a reprimir
Me derriban, pero me vuelvo a levantar
Nunca me vas a reprimir
Me derriban, pero me vuelvo a levantar
Nunca me vas a reprimir
Me derriban pero me vuelvo a levantar
Nunca me vas a reprimir
[Verso 2: Boff Whalley y Lou Watts]
Orinando toda la noche, orinando toda la noche
Bebe un trago de whisky, bebe un trago de vodka
Bebe una bebida Lager, bebe una bebida de Sidra
Canta las canciones que le recuerdan los buenos tiempos
Canta las canciones que le recuerdan los mejores tiempos
No llores por mi vecino de al lado
[Estribillo: Chumbawamba]
Me derriban, pero me vuelvo a levantar
Nunca me vas a reprimir
Me derriban, pero me vuelvo a levantar
Nunca me vas a reprimir
Me derriban, pero me vuelvo a levantar
Nunca me vas a reprimir
Me derriban, pero me vuelvo a levantar
Nunca me vas a reprimir
