Chumbawamba’s “Jacob’s Ladder”

I should have put this up a while ago. It was actually one of the first to come out:
JACOB’S LADDER (NOT IN MY NAME)

Here is the lyrics in case the link goes bad:

JACOB’S LADDER (NOT IN MY NAME)
ACOUSTIC MIX
Composed by Chumbawamba & Davy Graham
Like a sermon on the mountain
hellfire and brimstone
swapped for oil and guns
when we’re pushing up daisies
we all look the same
in the name of the father maybe
but not in my name
on this Jacob’s ladder
the only way up is down
one step from disaster
two to make the higher ground
Jacob’s ladder
a million lifetimes
left dying in the sun
in the streets down in Whitehall
dogs picking at the bones
nine eleven got branded
nine eleven got sold
there will be no one left to water
all the seeds you’ve sown
on this Jacob’s ladder
the only way up is down
one step from disaster
two to make the higher ground
Jacob’s ladder
and they sent him to the wars
to be slain to be slain
and they sent him to the wars
to be slain
if you can’t hear the music you’ll need Flash Player
