Rappoport’s Testament: I Never Gave Up Songtext
von Chumbawamba

And if you survive me, I never gave up
Tell them this, I never gave up
And if you survive me, I never gave up
Tell them this

Almost as if I were planning ahead
I drank, I ate, I made love
I learnt to snatch whatever I could
I never asked for pity, and I never gave up

And if you survive me, I never gave up
Tell them this, I never gave up
And if you survive me, I never gave up
Tell them this

20 months, I kept accounts
And in the end, they′ll balance out
Sometimes, I vomit happy memories
Sometimes, I laugh out loud just to crack my face


And if you survive me, I never gave up
Tell them this, I never gave up
And if you survive me, I never gave up
Tell them this

And if I meet Hitler in the other place
I'll spit this precious soup in his face
And all my accounts will be settled, you see
′Cause Hitler never ever got the better of me

And if you survive me, I never gave up
Tell them this, I never gave up
And if you survive me, I never gave up
Tell them this

I never gave up, I never gave up
I crawled in the mud, but I never gave up
I never gave up, I never gave up
I crawled in the mud, but I never gave up
I never gave up, I never gave up
I crawled in the mud, but I never gave up
I never gave up, I never gave up
I crawled in the mud, but I never gave up
I never gave up, I never gave up
I crawled in the mud, but I never gave up


I never gave up, I never gave up
I crawled in the mud, but I never gave up
I never gave up, I never gave up
I crawled in the mud, but I never gave up
I never gave up, I never gave up
I crawled in the mud, but I never gave up
I never gave up, I never gave up
I crawled in the mud, but I never gave up
I never gave up, I never gave up
I crawled in the mud, but I never gave up

I never gave up, I never gave up
I crawled in the mud, but I never gave up
I never gave up, I never gave up
I crawled in the mud, but I never gave up
I never gave up, I never gave up
I crawled in the mud, but I never gave up
I never gave up, I never gave up
