Chumbawamba - Look! No Strings! Lyrics






Look, no strings--just paper, glue, and card
Hark, the angels sing 'Paste the Lord'
That was the Armley tabernacle choir.
Next we'll be hearing the true story of an American housewife who claims to have taken mid-air photographs of Jesus Christ in the skies of Indiana.
High above the streets and houses
Misses Meta Battle, with one hand on the Valium and one hand on the bottle
Somewhere over Indiana, eight miles high
Meta Battle sees the good Lord wandering 'cross the sky
[Chorus]
Have your fun whilst your alive
You won't get nothing when you die
Have a good time all the time because you won't get nothing when you die
Look, no strings--just paper, glue, and card
Hark, the angels sing 'Paste the Lord'
Gobsmacked, William Shatnered
Meta does a double take
Come on baby, do the camera shake
Half expecting from the aisle a certain Mister Beadle
Watching you, watching us, watching Misses Meta Battle
[Repeat chorus]
Look, no strings--just paper, glue, and card
Hark, the angels sing 'Paste the Lord'
Meta Battle shot her Lord
And watched him tumble down
And now there's people out with Polaroids all around town
And who knows, that Jesus on the church near your house may well be the original
Kiss it as you pass
[Repeat chorus]
Look, no strings--just paper, glue, and card
Hark, the angels sing 'Paste the Lord'
[Repeat]
Susej em kcuf ho
[Repeat]

  1. S.... W....

    A very very small part of me wishes Chumbawamba would reform (but i think i am sceptical cos i fear they would play all the commercial stuff post Tubthumping).....

  2. A.... B....

    Fuckin FABULOUS!!. Fro the best album ever.

  3. J.... S....

    Anyone else here because of MB?

  4. E.... B....

    Hairs on back of neck stand up - says it all really

  5. S.... C....

    Guys, I'm starting to suspect the members of Chumbawamba are atheists.

    S.... C....

    might b..

  6. E.... ....

    Just paper glue and card

  7. e.... ....

    one of the best lyrics ever written:

    Have your fun whilst your alive
    You won't get nothing when you die
    Have a good time all the time
    because you won't get nothing when you die

  8. b.... ....

    Dang the harmony on this song is awesome, particularly the choral part.

  9. R.... D....

    A hint of Viv stanshall?

  10. R.... H....

    Paint the whole world with a rainbow...

  11. G.... X....

    Have your fun while you're alive, you won't get nothing when you die. Have a good time all the time, because you won't get nothing when you die. Best mantra ever. I think I'll get that on my tombstone.

    G.... X....

    Ghostlight X too late then!

  12. L.... S....

    Oh fottimi Gesù! Hahaha che belle ste canzoni quando iniziano alla fine

  13. M.... C....

    A philosophy for life
    A critique of Christianity
    A brilliant quirky song
    A blue peter reference
    Life doesn't get better
    Well done Chumba
    Burn it down

    M.... C....

    Don't forget the Rainbow theme music at the start of the track.

    M.... C....

    BURN IT DOWN

    "Gobsmacked William Shatner!" LOL.

    D.... N....

    +Dan Najera 'Gobsmacked, William Shatnered' has been a treasured part of my lexicon for over 20 years :)

  17. d.... ....

    Very good!

  18. e.... ....

    I love this song by 25-hit wonder Chumbawamba. My only knock against some of
    their songs including this one is silly, unrelated endings or beginnings.

  27. �.... �....

    this is motherfucker song ever.When you reverse it says FUCK ME JESUS how can that was be

  28. B.... ....

    I haven't heard this song in years. When I was a wee whipper snapper I thought that the double negative was intentional.....I guess not eh? Paste the Lord for Chumbawamba.
