Chumbawamba

I'm a loner, alone with neuroses and hate
Anger is a permanent character trait
My letter bombs are primed and they're ready to send
Would you like to add me as a friend?
I'm a wound-up whiner with a fetish for guns
I'm almost 50 and I live with my Mum
I hope my nude picture doesn't offend
Would you like to add me as a friend?

Add me, add me
Me mother says she wished she'd never 'ad me
Add me, add me
Would you like to add me as a friend?
Would you like to add me as a friend?

I'm a recovering alcoholic, I rarely leave my room
Peeping through the curtains in my dog costume
The voices in my head, oh they'll get me in the end
Would you like to add me as a friend?
I'd really like to mail you the picture that I drew
It's Kylie's body but the head is you
I've asked you fifty times before, I'm asking you again--
Would you like to add me as a friend?

Add me, add me
Me mother says she wished she'd never 'ad me
Add me, add me
Would you like to add me as a friend?
Would you like to add me as a friend?

Add me, add me
Me mother says she wished she'd never 'ad me
Add me, add me
Would you like to add me as a friend?
Would you like to add me as a friend?

Here's a picture of me in my Nazi uniform
Doing a trick with an egg that I like to perform
At a monster truck rally that my Mum and me attend
Would you like to add me as a friend?

I've added Britney and Paris and you and Tom
I'm going to find your address so I can visit you at home
I don't like people but I like to pretend
Would you like to add me as a friend?

Add me, add me
Me mother says she wished she'd never 'ad me
Add me, add me
Would you like to add me as a friend?
Would you like to add me as a friend?

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.
