I'm an anarchist. I'm the anti-christ. Well, sort of. Not really
It's not big. It's not clever. I'm quite a reasonable fella
Your friendly uncle, good with kids, good ol' paternalist pop
Good cop, bad cop, good cop, bad cop, good cop, good cop
I was a wannabe and wannabe's don't know what they want to be
I needn't have worried cos the man upstairs was looking out for me
God gave me the finger with his free hand, now I'm his left hand man
Hey punk! Don't call me Mac, my name is John Trabant!

(Chorus)
Love Me, Love Me
Love Me, Love Me
Love Me, Love Me
Love Me, Love Me
Take Me, Take Me
Seriously
Love Me, Love Me
Love Me, Love Me

They call me the great pretender. John Noakes was my mentor
I'm a walking talking ideas man, here's one I prepared earlier
Stretch Armstrong and his Rubber band. Edwin Meese and the sex police
Please, Mr Postman, post-post modern, deliver us from Elvis
Be-bop-a-lula baby baby, does good culture, yes!
Now I found what Im looking for, I find myself in another fine mess
Someone muddied my waters. I lost my way but now I see
I OD'd on irony. I'll rediscover God for the next LP

(Chorus)
Love Me, Love Me
Love Me, Love Me
Love Me, Love Me
Love Me, Love Me
Take Me, Take Me
Seriously
Love Me, Love Me
Love Me, Love Me

Bend me shake me any way you want me, whatever you want, I'll be your hearts desire
Black and cuddley, you want love me. Pop me cork, watch me pop like bubbly
Hot or not, you've got to use what you've got. Where's the weak spot, let me take a shot
What a turn on. Does it feel lovely? Love me love me love me love me
"Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, how you came up. Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, heavens above!"
Johhny Johnny what for art thou, how goes Victor Jara?
I got a stadium sized pro-rata headache. Pretentious moi
The ghost of Eamonn Andrews smiling, watching over me
I love it. Let's shoot it. Johnny Trib in a movie
I paid my dues, I sung the blues, I've done pain and personal hell
Pass me the phone, I got calls to make, this will sell and sell
Im as Bob Roberts to you Phil Ochs, talking political.
So love, love me, love me Im a liberal!

(Chorus)
Love Me, Love Me
Love Me, Love Me
Love Me, Love Me
Love Me, Love Me
Take Me, Take Me
Seriously
Love Me, Love Me
Freeze Frame Love Me

Chumbawamba

Anarcho-pop band from Leeds.

Originally formed in the early 1980s as Chimp Eats Banana, Chumbawamba first emerged in the anarchopunk scene which was dominated by bands such a pacifist punks Crass. As Chumbawamba increasingly differed from their peers in outlook and tactics, they began to adopt a new musical style which incorporated elements of folk music, indie rock and hip-hop.

After drifting between labels, their change in direction culminated in signing a record deal with major label EMI, a choice which sparked outrage amongst their former comrades, outrage that culminated in a “Fuck Chumbawamba” compilation. By chance, Chumbawamba’s new work with EMI resulted in an internationally best-selling single, “Tubthumping”, and a sudden rise to fame.
