When I'm Bad Lyrics - Chumbawamba

They try in vain our minds to chain 

Im up in the stars 

Looking down at the gutter 

When Im good, Im very good 

But when Im bad, Im better! 

Oh barman, fill this glass again 

And keep on pouring 

Til death says when 

Oh barman, fill it to the top 

And well be drinking 

Til the singing has to stop 

They try in vain our minds to chain 

A, B, C, D, E, F, G 

The only notes that matter 

When Im good, Im very good 

But when Im bad, Im better! 

They try in vain our minds to chain 

Me and all my friends 

Are coming 'round to your house 

And were not going to go 

Until we get thrown out 

Oh barman, fill this glass again 

They try in vain our minds to chain
