Just Look At Me Now

Chumbawamba had one single that was only sold at concerts (or through mail order for crazed fans who couldn't make it to a show), Just Look At Me Now. The single was offered as a 7" and as a CD, but the tracks were different on each format. The 7" had Just Look At Me Now (Borstal Boy Mix), and Kiss, Kiss, Kiss; the CD had Just Look At Me Now (Borstal Boy Mix), Safety-Pin Stuck In My Heart ('A Love Song For Punk'), and Nothing Knocks Me Over. The CD also had a fourth track, On Ilkley Moor By Tat, which isn't Chumbawamba, but is pretty cool anyway (and thanks to Deano for help with the lyrics on that one!).

Just Look At Me Now (Borstal Boy Mix)

Don't tell me lies, I don't need fingerprints
So tighten up your coats before you catch your death of cold
Throw away your books
They're building windmills three miles up
Out on the moors there's an empire waiting
Just look at me now, Just look at me now
Just look at me now, I am king of my own kingdom
Towny go home, whispers in the tower of Babel
And I have all I need--I have shoes with sharpened soles
And every simple joy, we make it all so complicated
And all you need to know is putting the meat around your bones
Just look at me now, just look at me now
Just look at me now, I am king of my own kingdom
Just look at me now, both feet on the ground
My sights are fixed on the horizon
Just look at me now, both feet on the ground
My sights are fixed on the horizon

Safety Pin Stuck in My Heart

I don't love you for your graveyard eyes
I don't love you for your stupid lies
I just love you for that
Beat-beat-beat-beat-beating
I don't love you for your tattered tie
I don't love you, and I don't know why
I just love you for that
Beat-beat-beat-beat-beating
I've got a safety pin stuck in my heart
For you, for you
I don't love you for your professed hate
I don't love you for your cards of fate
I just love you for that
Beat-beat-beat-beat-beating
I don't love you for your painted shoes
I don't love you for the friends you never choose
I just love you for that
Beat-beat-beat-beat-beating
I've got a safety pin stuck in my heart
For you, for you

Nothing Knocks Me Over

I dreamt the cliffs and ride the waves
And no one comes to save me
My arms are sprawled against the tide
Nothing knocks me over
Nothing knocks me over
Nothing knocks me over
From the fire into the frying pan
I jump because I can
I choose to gamble with my life
Twice the risk, four times the prize
Nothing knocks me over
Nothing knocks me over
Nothing knocks me over

Kiss, Kiss, Kiss

Sometimes when I'm feeling lonely
I just want some arms around me
It doesn't matter how he walks
It doesn't matter how he talks
It doesn't matter if he's pretty
It doesn't matter if he's ugly
I just want to feel those arms around me and kiss
'Cause what's a kiss? A kiss is sweet
'Cause what's a kiss? A kiss is a kiss
Last night I went out and met you
I put my arms around you
You said it was 'inevitable'
I said, 'whatever'
We kissed and hugged forever
Until the night grew old
And when you went away you gave me a kiss
'Cause what's a kiss? A kiss is sweet
'Cause what's a kiss? A kiss is a kiss
