- Jacob's ladder - chumbawamba
Jacobs ladder
Like rusty old nails, at
the bottom of the sea
Telling no tales, for the
good of the Admiralty
You jump when youre told to,
through the open door
And the King of Norway, hes
the man you all died for
(Chorus)
On this, Jacobs Ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
Jacobs Ladder
"And they sent him
to the wars to be slain,
to be slain
And they sent him to the
wars to be slain"
A thousand lifetimes, left
standing at the docks

In the bar down in Whitehall,
theyre sure the boat wont
rock
In a file marked 慡ecret in
a drawer kept closed
Nobody wonders, because nobody knows
(Chorus)
About this, Jacobs Ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
Jacobs Ladder
"And they sent him
to the wars to be slain,
to be slain
And they sent him to the
wars to be slain"
(Chorus)
On this
Jacobs Ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
Jacobs Ladder
O Bulldog Leader:
Sooner or later
Well dig up the body
And try your cadaver
I have never discovered another band in my entire life that has produced such a stunning quantity of both fun and meaningful music. I try and I try but I just cannot get sick of listening to these people.
Same here!
TheFleeingPhoenix can’t agree more
TheFleeingPhoenix I also feel this kinda music ain’t for everyone
Wow the comments are sooo old..
Probably the most underrated band of the last 40 years
THIS is peak chumbawamba
I heard Chumbawamba because my dad listened to it, and I've still got a thing for some of their songs after a decade. Seems loads of other people in are a similar boat.
Sure do :-)
Harry Cox's vocals from the song "The Pretty Ploughboy" the album A Century of Song ("And they sent him down into the war to be slain, be slain... / And they sent him down into the war to be slain.")
Guitar from Davey Graham's song "Anji"
they actually credited the song to his owner so.............
Yup! That's sampling.
Chumbawamba fuckin' rocks. In all the ways you mean it.
Ah ...my myspace song
Bert Jansch' Angie is sampled here? same riff!?
Pretty sure it was Davey Grahams originally;)
Why doe this make me think it should be playing in Bioshock's Rapture?
Amazing, plus Harry Cox to boot! Putumayo's "Eurogroove" has this piece. The songs of Resistance are tonic for the soul.
Damm I remember listening to this song and album when I was really young :)
Same
R.I.P to all the sailors left for dead by Winston Churchill.

Only comment of 3 years ago
I absolutely love this song!
Thank you! I've been trying to find this song for ages...
This song came out the summer before the 2003 Iraq War started and is very telling of things to come.
(What, they did other stuff after 'Tubthumper'!)
i like this version the best. it just something about it...
I want a Caravan Palace cover of this.
The specific one, is not Chumba's production. Listen to the song "Angie" by Davey Graham or Bert Jansch
IWillSexU the album was named Readymades for this reason
Great album - can play it every day, love Sewing Up Crap - more great lyrics. In fact there's hardly a meaningless song in their extensive repertoire. One of those bands that just keeps shining brightly. Does anyone know why you can never find Anarchy or Swinging With Raymond on any of the many downloads/streaming sites?
Money most likely
No, that version is also originally by Chumbawamba, but I agree that the acapelle version by the mysterious Prague group is pure genius as well.
I love this! Yeah, I've only heard the Protest Records version too. But it's good to hear this one too!
Awesome, I've only heard the version on Protest Records that started with Like the sermon on the mountain or something, this ones just as good I think.
That’s Jacob’s Ladder (not in my name) agree with you, they’re both great!
love this song
The a capella one by the prague group, right?
just got that one, it's fantastic, but I've known this version for years. it's one of my favorites from these guys.
Excellent & underrated AF
Thanks mate...That is really great.I will try to upload the protest records version to!!!
Yeah pretty lights should remix this for sure!
Funny....
You yell ..." Throw me a Rope"
Then you discover....
Yer Gator Bait.
@UKMrMick You can find them on torrent sites like isohunt.com but then you will need a torrent client such as utorrent which is easy to use.
Thumps up...
No lyrics?
Fresh from the slain to have slain...
Begotten from the devil, he was slain by my slain...
Jacobs ladder...
My latter day.
I believe the other version you are referring to is "Jacobs Ladder (Not In My Name)"
The lyrics are good in that one, but I prefer this version.
There's just something about this one....
oh wow, I'd love to hear chumbawamba do that version. do you happen to have anywhere i could find it?
So Angie..
I bought the single in a cd shop but it was released for the Afghanistan invasion so it's probably hard to find by now. Have you tried P2P searching? It's title is Jacob's ladder (an anti-war single), I think. It is pretty close to the original musically, but the words are enough to make it worth several listens (in the name of the father maybe, but not in my name)
I've still got my CD single copy.
:)
I was at a party and this song was playing when I shot a guy. I'm really not into this genre but I enjoy this song for some strange reason.
Kul D. Sak woah woah what? You shot a dude and you’re just admitting it on CZcams
perfect comment for this song
Me too.....snif

The main riff is totally stolen from an old acoustic piece, Anji, by Davey Graham, Bert Jansch and Simon & Garfunkel among others.
romeokid69 they gave Davey Graham a co-writing credit hardly stolen
It's called sampling, maybe you've heard of it?
Was a Davey Graham piece.. became a standard...

THANK YOU!!! Danbert Nobacon was my drama teacher in highschool and he was telling me about this song and the ship but I could never remember the ship/war so thank you so much
