Day Upon Day Lyrics - Blur

Waiting on this empty day
It's just the same as any day
And although I've nothing to say
I'm going to say it anyway

Day, day upon day, day upon day
Day upon day

Everybodies here with me
We're in the smallest room you see
And although we've nothing to do
We've got to do it adieu adieu

Day, day upon day, day upon
Day upon day


Inertia Lyrics - Blur

Fear of being left behind
Can take you over
Suddenly you will choke
Maybe it's just a joke
I'm not sure of you

I can't hear you now
There's to much that's going around
You seem a worried fool
So I don't think I'm cool
Makes me me insure
Of you

Fear of being left alone
Can take you over
Slowly you will choke
And say it's just a joke
I'm not sure
Of you


Luminous Lyrics - Blur

Don't look at me as
Your only regret what you don't see
You know more than I
So think for me
Think what your not

Ah ah ah ah

Love substitute for the
Never knew who you were
Half your life has been explained
You want the oher half

Ah ah ah ah

Don't look at me as though I'm not here
Your only regret what you don't see
Half my life has been explained

Mace Lyrics - Blur

Pedaling on a bicycle
I'm on my way to make a call
I've tried to touch you
Through the double glazing
But the curtains were drawn & the family out the away

You used to know but now you don't [X3]
No one can see when they've got mist in their eyes

They're papering the wall and the windows
No logic here in or out
The heatings on and I'm feeling drowsy
I fall asleep and dream of burning down the house

You used to know but now you don't [X3]
No one can see when they've got mist in their eyes

I'm pedaling on my bicycle
I'm on my way to make a call
The sun is out and I'm feeling drowsy
I fall asleep and dream of burning down the house

You used to know but now you don't [X6]
No one can see when they've got mist in the eyes

Badgeman Brown Lyrics - Blur


This is the voice of someone
Calling from a lonely hill
To the hard of hearing
For those who never will

A long legged someone
Seen walking away from home
Look a vacant dreamer
Walking alone alone

Ways that turn and turn
Which is what we'd learn
As suffering believers
In the book of badgeman brown

They've dropping like flies
In a suburban house
From a lack of anything
Anything to keep their hands in

And the town keeps screaming
From a lonely hill
Another lack of people
Those who never will

Ways that turn and turn
Which I what we'd learn
As suffering believers
In the book of badgeman brown

This is the voice of someone
Calling from a lonely hill
for the heard of hearing
For those who never will

The days will turn and turn
Which is what we'd learn
As average believers
In the book of badgeman brown

Hanging Over Lyrics - Blur

I'm alive and I can breath the air
I can hurt you
I can float up here
so soft and tingling
You can't catch me
I'm floating away

I woke up
And went down next door
I'm getting up with nothing on my mind
I went down the stairs
With a pain in my head
I should have never got out of bed

Then everything shattered
Just at the point that mattered [X2]
Aha

I'm alive I can breath the air
I can hurt you
I can fall down there
Right into you your mind
Don't put it around
You can't catch me
& carried away

I woke up I, woke up every day
There's nothing, nothing to say
Half way down the stairs
I feel a pain in my chest
I should never have got out of bed

Then everything shattered
Just at the point that it mattered [X2]
Aha

I'm alive, I'm can breath the air
I can hurt you
Half way down the stairs
I get a pain in my chest
I should never got out of bed

I should never ever ever
I should never...


Peach Lyrics - Blur Lyrics - Blur

Chemical waste
Best part of the beach
You're always the way you are
What of that going to close you in
You got a gaping hole in your head
I'd let the birds nest there instead
Aha aha aha aha

A gun in your pocket
& hair in a locket
Around you neck
From the girl you once loved
Where's she now, you've gone crazed
You've got a gaping hole in your head
I'd let the birds nest there instead
Aha aha aha aha

You've got a gaping hold in your head
I'd let the birds nest there instead [X4]
Aha aha aha aha


When The Cows Come Home Lyrics - Blur


Good morning
Wake up

Wake up with purpose and polite efficiency
Stuff vitamin pills down your half guarantee
A kiss and cuddle with a lucky girl
You get fed and watered
Makes your hair curl

And when the day draws in
You put on a record
Put on something gentle
And wait for the cows to come home

Wake up a little voice says
Do you eagerly
You mustn't let yourself sink financally
Don't listen to the accusation that you're tight
You could be the first man on your street to get it right

And when the day draws in
You going to go into waltz time
For once it was good time
Wait for the cows to come home

Ha da de da da
Ha da de da da
Ha da de da da
Ha da de da da da

Wake up in porpuse and polite efficiency
So you get fed and watered with good company
And when the day draws in
You go into waltz time
Wait for the cows to come home
All your life


Maggie May Lyrics - Blur

Wake up Maggie
I think I've got something to say toyou
It's late September
And I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused
But I feel I'm being used
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore

You led me away from hme
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and
That's what really hurts

All I needed was a friend of lend a guiding hand
It's learning to a lover and
Mother what a lover and you wore me out
All you do is wreck my bed
And in the morning kickme in the head
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore

You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart
I couldn't leave if I tried

I suppose I could collect my books and go back to school
I'll steal my dad's cue
And make a iving out of playing pool
I'll find myself a rock n roll band
That needs a helping hand
Oh, Maggie,I wish I'd never seen you face

You made a first class fool of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart
But I love you anyway


Es Schmecht Lyrics - Blur

Looking out for N?1
Conversation, daily routine
It's beautiful, but neurotic
& in the future it will be the same

Looking out for N?1
Conversation, daily routine
It's beautiful, but hypnotic
In the future it will be the same

The same...the same...
In the future it will be the same


Fried Lyrics - Blur

Oh you are so very strange
Sometimes I think you've gone insane
Twisted hearts you've gone insane
In this giddy world
Couldn't you begin to go
Where odd lines we hardly know
Couldn't you put in a goal
Just for me

Did I say I want to know
Talking about a goal
Would you please leave me alone
Can't you see I want to be on my own

Oh, I would like to give you your head
Just to see if you are dead
Oh, I'd like to get into that pretty head
And it would amuse me just to see
How you feel about me
How you feel about always getting fried

Did I say I want to know
We're talking about a goal
Would you please leave alone
Can't you see I want to be on my own
Can't you see I want to be on my own

Oh,I'm going to fly [X3]


Threadneedle Street Lyrics - Blur

The time has come
Not to be cautious
You must be careful no to make mistakes
For every heart flower
In twenty four

An operation froze
Faster than they did yesterday
And the landing right on your side
They won't be much of a problem

Then passed smith
There is a rise
When everybodies asleep at home
He becomes nervous
And sees a change
Today in future

Oh la la oh la la oh la la
Watch the markets move from the screen
In a pocket in a grey flannel suit
Re tomorrow's cash today
And check your pulse

Waste metals crawling to the kerb
And softs dropped in a summer term
Sugars melted in the mouth
Of a broken home
If we knew a better option

She sleeps for while
And it could be long time before he thinks again
And then he looks at the papers and looks again
Today futures

Oh la la oh la la oh la la oh la la

Today futures
Futures futures futures [repeat the fade]


Got Yer! Lyrics - Blur


Okay coming up man
you sad old
He's got a fly between his ears
It catches life
And buzzes in my head

It's a long time, isn't it
Fumes of life

people are bleeding loose in here
Got yer!


Theme From An Imaginary Film Lyrics - Blur

What if I told you I love you
What if I called you in rhythm
In this world there's nothing left
Well nothing that's new

What if I told you without
Loving is simply a lie
Although she moves into the night
Oh, tell me you're mine
Please say it's true

Oh, shame it's over
I was the light and the days of them all
Well push me over
I'm flat on my back but I'm having a ball
And just look whose laughing

What if I flew like a dove dear
What if I would you in rhythm
There's nothing left
Nothing that's good left for me now

Oh,I'll just go and sleep with strangers
I'll live like a lord in a tower
Cos in the city there's too mich air
That I can't dream at night
Well not anymore

Oh, shame it's over
It been such fun and we had a ball
Well push me over
But I'll be the last people to fall
Well just look whose laughing

Oh shame it's over
How like a cow bloated on grass
Well, push me over
Me on my back and you on your arse
Such a shame it's all over
There are so feel days left to grasp
So push me over
We on our back and you on your lazy arse
Well just look whose laughing

Bank Holiday Lyrics - Blur

Grandma has got new dentures
To eat the crust on pizza
Been taken out by her daughter
Because she thought she ought'a
The kids are eating snickers
Because they're so delicious
Then there's sticky f1ngers
And mother looses her knickers

[Chorus]
BANK HOLIDAY COMES SIX TIMES A YEAR
DAYS OF ENJOYMENT TO WHICH EVERYONE CHEERS
BANK HOLIDAY COMES WITH A SIX PACK OF BEER
....THEN ITS BACK TO WORK A.G.A.I.N.

Bar-b-que is cooking
Sausages and chicken
The patio is buzzing
The neighbours they are looking
John is down the fun pub
Drinking lots of lager
Girls and boys are on the game
All the high streets look the same

[Chorus]

back to work A.G.A.I.N.

[Chorus]

Bank holiday



"Parklife" (1994)


End Of The Century Lyrics - Blur


She said there's ants in the carpet
Dirty little monsters
Eating all the morsels
Picking up the rubbish
Give her effervescence
She needs a little sparkle
Good morning tv
You're looking so healthy

[Chorus:]
And we all say
Don't want to be alone
We wear the same clothes
Because we feel the same
And kiss with dry lips
When we say goodnight
End of the century... it's nothing special

Sex on tv
Everybody's at it
And the mind gets dirty
As you get closer to thirty
He gives her a cuddle
They're glowing in a huddle
Good night tv
You're all made up
And you know that

[Chorus]

Can you eat her yes you can

[Chorus]

Parklife Lyrics - Blur

Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as (parklife)
And morning soup can be avoided if you take a route straight through what is known as
(parklife)
John's got brewers droop he gets intimidated by the dirty pigeons
They love a bit of it (parklife)
Who's that gut lord marching... you should cut down on your porklife mate... get some
Exercise

[Chorus]
ALL THE PEOPLE
SO MANY PEOPLE
THEY ALL GO HAND IN HAND
HAND IN HAND THROUGH THEIR PARKLIFE

Know what I mean
I get up when I want except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen
(Parklife)
I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea and I think about leaving the house (parklife)
I feed the pigeons I sometimes feed the sparrows too it gives me a sense of enormous well
Being (parklife)
And then I'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit
Of my heart devoted to it (parklife)

[Chorus]

Parklife (parklife)
Parklife (parklife)

It's got nothing to do with vorsprung durch technic you know
And it's not about you joggers who go round and round and round
Parklife (parklife)

[Chorus x 2]


Girls And Boys Lyrics - Blur

Street's like a jungle
So call the police
Following the herd
Down to Greece
On holiday
Love in the 90's
Is paranoid
On sunny beaches
Take your chances looking for

[Chorus]
GIRLS WHO ARE BOYS
WHO LIKE BOYS TO BE GIRLS
WHO DO BOYS LIKE THEY'RE GIRLS
WHO DO GIRLS LIKE THEY'RE BOYS
ALWAYS SHOULD BE SOMEONE YOU REALLY LOVE

Avoiding all work
Because there's none available
Like battery thinkers
Count your thoughts on 1 2 3 4 5 fingers
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
Get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr schon
But we haven't been introduced

[Chorus]


Tracy Jacks Lyrics - Blur


(Tracy Jacks) works in civil service
(Tracy Jacks) it's steady employment
(Tracy Jacks) it's a golfing fanatic
(Tracy Jacks) but his put is erratic
(Tracy Jacks) saw a Harley Street doctor
(Tracy Jacks) who prescribed healthy living
(Tracy Jacks) but he's getting past forty
(Tracy Jacks) and all the seams are splitting

EVERYDAY HE GOT CLOSER
HE KNEW IN HIS HEART HE WAS OVER
I'D LOVE TO STAY HERE AND BE NORMAL
BUT IT'S JUST SO OVERRATED

(Tracy Jacks) left home without warning
(Tracy Jacks) at five in the morning
(Tracy Jacks) got on the first train to Walton
(Tracy Jacks) and stood on the seafront
(Tracy Jacks) threw his clothes in the water
(Tracy Jacks) and ran around naked
(Tracy Jacks) got stopped by the police
(Tracy Jacks) and escorted back home

EVERYDAY HE GOT CLOSER
HE KNEW IN HIS HEART HE WAS OVER
I'D LOVE TO STAY HERE AND BE NORMAL
BUT THEN IT'S JUST SO OVERRATED

Tracy Jacks
Tracy Jacks
Tracy Jacks
Tracy Jacks

And then it happened on a Tuesday morning
Tracy Jacks bulldozed down the house he lived in
Saying it's just so overrated
Tracy Jacks
Tracy Jacks
Tracy Jacks
Tracy Jacks

EVERYDAY HE GOT CLOSER
HE KNEW IN HIS HEART HE WAS OVER
I'D LOVE TO STAY HERE AND BE NORMAL
BUT IT WAS ALWAYS OVERRATED

Badhead Lyrics - Blur

So far I've not really stayed in touch
Well you knew as much it's no surprise that today
I'll get up early too from a lack of anything to do

AND I MIGHT AS WELL JUST GRIN AND BEAR IT
BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE OF AN ARGUMENT

And you have not really stayed in touch
Well I knew as much it's no surprise that today
I get up for round two with nothing to do
Except get a touch of flu

AND I MIGHT AS WELL GRIN AND BEAR IT
BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE OF AN ARGUMENT
AND IN ANY CASE I'D RATHER WEAR IT
IT'S LIKE A BADHEAD IN THE MORNING

And I know

AND I MIGHT AS WELL GRIN AND BEAR IT
BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE OF AN ARGUMENT
AND IN ANY CASE I'D RATHER WEAR IT
IT'S LIKE A BADHEAD IN THE MORNING

Far Out Lyrics - Blur


I spy in the night sky don't I
Phoebe io e lara leda callisto sinope
Janus dione portia so many moons
Quiet in the sky at night hot in the milky way
Outside in
Vega capella hadar rigel barnard's star
Antares aldebaran altair wolf 359
Betelgeuse sun sun sun


To The End Lyrics - Blur


All those dirty words
They make us look so dumb
Been drinking far too much
And neither of us mean what we say

[Chorus]
WELL YOU AND I
COLLAPSED IN LOVE
AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE MIGHT HAVE MADE IT, YES IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE
MADE IT TO THE END

What happened to us
Soon it will be gone forever
Infatuated only with ourselves
And neither of us can think straight anymore

[Chorus x 2]

A malady has taken him over
Coughing tar in his japanese motor
The lights are magic
And he feels lucky
And he's got money
Shoots like an arrow - oh

Trouble On The Message Centre Lyrics - Blur

I am the message centre
Local and direct
Room to room an operator
No calls today they'll just have to wait dear
I call and I collect
So just strike him softly away from the body

YOU'RE MADE UP TOO SHINY TODAY (IN SO MUCH TROUBLE)
THOUGHTS ARE JUST PISSING AWAY (IN SO MUCH TROUBLE)

I am a manager
I am in control
As the local delegator
No calls today dear they'll just have to wait dear
I offer no guarantee at all
So don't take it lightly you'll put yourself under

YOU'RE MADE UP TOO SHINY TODAY (IN SO MUCH TROUBLE)
THOUGHTS ARE JUST PISSING AWAY (IN SO MUCH TROUBLE)
A NEW TYPE FACE AND NEW DAY (IN SO MUCH TROUBLE)
YOU CAN'T REMEMBER TEN MINUTES AGO (IN SO MUCH TROUBLE)
IT'S TOO MUCH TROUBLE

YOU'RE MADE UP TOO SHINY TODAY (IN SO MUCH TROUBLE)
THOUGHTS ARE JUST PISSING AWAY (IN SO MUCH TROUBLE)
A NEW TYPE FACE AND NEW DAY (IN SO MUCH TROUBLE)
YOU CAN'T REMEMBER TEN MINUTES AGO (IN SO MUCH TROUBLE)
IT'S TOO MUCH TROUBLE

Clover Over Dover Lyrics - Blur

I'm on the white cliffs of Dover
Thinking it over and over
But if I jump its all over
A cautionary tale for you
I'd like to roll in the clover
With you over and over
On the white cliffs of dover
And then I'd let you push me over

[Chorus]
AND IF THAT IS THE FACT THEN IN ACTUAL FACT IT'S NOT WHERE IT'S AT
AND IT'S OVER
AND IF THAT IS THE FACT THEN IN ACTUAL FACT IT'S NOT WHERE IT'S AT
AND IT'S OVER
YES IT IS

And now the bluebirds are over
Over the white cliffs of dover
So when you push me over
Don't bury me I'm not worth anything

[Chorus]



Magic America Lyrics - Blur


Bill Barret has a simple dream
He calls it his plan B
Buildings in the sky and the air is sugar free
And everyone is very friendly
Plan B arrived on a holiday
Took a cab to the shopping malls
Bought and ate until he could do neither anymore
Then found love on channel 44

[Chorus]
LA LA LA LA LA HE WANTS TO GO TO MAGIC AMERICA
LA LA LA LA LA HE'D LIKE TO LIVE IN MAGIC AMERICA
WITH ALL THE MAGIC PEOPLE

Bill Barrett sent his postcards home
To everyone he'd ever known they read
Fifty nine cents gets you a good square meal
From the people who care how you feel

[Chorus x 2]

With all the magic people [fade to end]

This Is A Low Lyrics - Blur

And into the sea goes pretty England and me
Around the Bay of Biscay and back for tea
Hit traffic on the dogger bank
Up the Thames to find a taxi rank
Sail on by with the tide and go asleep
And the radio says

[Chorus]
THIS IS A LOW
BUT IT WON'T HURT YOU
WHEN YOU ARE ALONE IT WILL BE THERE WITH YOU
FINDING WAYS TO STAY SOLO

On the Tyne forth and Cramity
There's a low in the high forties
And Saturday's locked away on the pier
Not fast enough dear
On the Malin head, Blackpool looks blue and red
And the Queen, she's gone round the bend
Jumped off Land's End
And the radio says

[Chorus x 3]

ALTHOUGH SHE GOT HERSELF ROSY CHEEKS
SHE DIDN'T LEAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY THE RENT
THE LANLORD SAYS THAT SHE'S OUT IN A WEEK
WHAT A SHAME SHE WAS JUST GETTING COMFY
NOW SHE'S EATING CHOCOLATE TO INDUCE SLEEP
IN A CHEMICAL WORLD IT'S VERY, VERY, VERY CHEAP

[CHORUS]
AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU
THEY'VE BEEN PUTTING THE HOLES IN, YES YES
IT'S BEEN A HELL OF A DO
THEY'VE BEEN PUTTING THE HOLES IN, YES YES

PEEPING THOMAS HAS A VERY NICE VIEW
ACROSS THE STREET AT THE EXHIBITIONIST
THESE TOWNIES THEY NEVER SPEAK TO YOU
JUST STICK TOGETHER SO THEY NEVER GET LONELY
FEELING LEAD, FEELING QUITE LIGHT-HEADED
HAD TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE SOME SUGARY TEA
IN CHEMICAL WORLD, IN A CHEMICAL WORLD IT'S VERY, VERY, VERY,
CHEAP.

[CHORUS]

Sunday Sunday Lyrics –Blur

SUNDAY SUNDAY HERE AGAIN IN TIDY ATTIRE
YOU READ THE COLOUR SUPPLEMENT, THE TV GUIDE
YOU DREAM OF PROTEIN ON A PLATE, REGRET YOU LEFT IT QUITE SO LATE
TOGETHER THE FAMILY AROUND THE TABLE, TO EAT ENOUGH TO SPEEP
OH THE SUNDAY SLEEP

SUNDAY SUNDAY HERE AGAIN A WALK IN THE PARK
YOU MEET AN OLD SOLDIER AND TALK OF THE PAST
HE FOUGHT FOR US IN TWO WORLD WARS AND SAYS THE ENGLAND HE KNEW
IS NO MORE
HE SINGS SONGS OF PRAISE EVERY WEEK BUT ALWAYS FALLS ASLEEP
FOR THAT SUNDAY SLEEP

YOU DREAM OF PROTEIN ON A PLATE, REGRET YOU LEFT IT QUITE SO LATE
TOGETHER THE FAMILY AROUND THE TABLE TO EAT ENOUGH TO SLEEP
AND MOTHER'S PRIDE IS YOU EPITHET, THAT EXTRA SLICE YOU WILL SOON
REGRET
SO GOING OUT IS YOUR BEST BET, THEN BINGO YOURSELF TO SLEEP
OH THE SUNDAY SLEEP

Oily Water Lyrics –Blur


LEAD IN ME AND ME IN WATER
DANGLING IN MY WORD
I SWALLOWED TO MUCH OILY WATER
IT KEEPS SLIPPING DOWN MY SPINE

IN A SENSE OF SELF DECLINE
GROWING FAT ON SOUND
IT'S ONLY AN EARLY MORNING DREAM
AND THE WHOLE WORLD WILL BE ALRIGHT

[CHORUS]

MY HEAD IS FULL OF SUSPICION
I'M COMING HOME SOMETIME
I'VE SWALLOWED TOO MUCH OILY WATER
IT KEEPS SLIPPING DOWN MY SPINE

IN A SENSE OF SELF IN DECLINE
LYING ON MY BACK
IT'S ONLY AN EARLY MORNING DREAM
AND SO THE WHOLE WORLD WILL BE ALRIGHT

[CHORUS]


Miss America Lyrics –Blur


MISS AMERICA SITS IN THE SHOWER
SHE'S PLUCKING HOURS FROM THE SKY
PICKS UP THE TELPHONE INTO ANOTHER HOME
DON'T ASK ME WHY

I DON'T MIND, I DON'T MIND AT ALL
I LOVE ONLY YOU

SHE'S A WELL WISHER AND SHE WISHES YOU WELL
WISH AWAY, WISH AWAY
SHE'S NO JELLYBEAN, SHE'S A JEMIMA HO HO
WISH AWAY. WISH AWAY

I DON'T MIND, I DON'T MIND AT ALL
I LOVE ONLY YOU

DA DO DA DA DO

HERE IS HERE AND I AM HERE
WHERE ARE YOU
FAR AWAY, FAR AWAY
SHE'S NO JELLYBEAN, SHE'S A JEMIMA HO HO
WISH AWAY, WISH AWAY


Villa Rosie Lyrics –Blur

PRACTISE DOESN'T MAKE PERFECT WHEN YOU'RE INTERBREEDING
SPEAKING DRIVEL CAN IT GET CONFUSED WITH HEAVY BREATHING
MIXING DRINKS AT WATER HOLES GET SNARLED UP IN THE SUBURBS
MEANDERING THROUGH THIS AND THAT YOU ARE SUSPECTED OF VAGUENESS

WHEN WORK IS DONE, GO TO VILLA ROSIE EVERY NIGHT (WE'RE WAITING)
SO FORM A QUEUE AT VILLA ROSIE EVERY NIGHT (SO TASTY)

ACROSS THE COMMON EVERY DAY YOU COME ACROSS THE FINE LINE
BUT WEARING BOOTS CAN PREVENT THE LEECHES IN THE LONG GRASS
EATING BETWEEN MEALS STIFLES THE APPETITE IS IT HEALTHY
COMING HOME THAT NAGGING DOUBT THERE IN YOUR BELLY

AND ALL THE WHILE AT VILLA ROSIE EVERY NIGHT (WE'RE TASTING)
A SWEETER LIFE AT VILLA ROSIE EVERY NIGHT (SO TASTY)
ALL LOOSERS COME TO VILLA ROSIE EVERY NIGHT (WE'RE WAITING)
SO FORM A QUEUE AT VILLA ROSIE EVERY NIGHT (SO TASTY)

DON'T BREAK YOUR BACK AT VILLA ROSIE EVERY NIGHT (WE'RE TASTING)
A SWEETER LIFE AT VILLA ROSIE EVERY NIGHT (SO TASTY)

Coping Lyrics –Blur

PRIMAL, EVIL WHAT AM I ?
TONGUE-TIED UNTI THE DAY I DIE
THERE'S NO LOVE MADE WITH MERMAIDS
IT'S JUST DISTRACTION OR SO THEY SAY

[CHORUS]
BUT I'M TOO TIRED TO CARE ABOUT IT
CAN'T YOU SEE IT IN MY FACE, MY FACE
WHEN I FEEL THIS STRANGE CAN I GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN

IT'S A SORRY STATE YOU'RE GETTTING IN
THE SAME EXCUSE IS WEARING THIN
THERE'S NO SELF CONTROL LEFT IN ME
WHAT WAS NOT WILL NEVER BE

[CHORUS]


Turn It Up Lyrics –Blur

KAZOO, KAZOO, YOU ARE MINE
KAZOO, KAZOO, EVERYTIME

[CHORUS]
TURN IT UP, TURN IT OFF, TURN IT IN

ANYWAY YOU CHOOSE, ANYWAY YOU CHOOSE AT ALL
SOMETIMES YOU DO TOO MUCH, SOMETIMES IT ALL GETS TOO MUCH


Popscene Lyrics –Blur

A FERVORED IMAGE OF ANOTHER WORLD
IS NOTHING IN PARICULAR NOW
AND IMITATION COMES NATURALLY
BUT I NEVER REALLY STOP TO THINK HOW
AND EVERYONEIS A CLEVER CLONE
A CHROME COVERED CLONE AMI
SO IN THE ABSENCE OF A WAY OF LIFE
JUST REPEAT THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

[CHORUS]
HEY HEY COME OUT TONIGHT
HEY HEY COME OUT TONIGHT
POPSCENE
ALRIGHT

I'M LEAVING TOWN TO RUN AWAY
RUN INTO YOUR TWISTED ARMS
NO QUEUES AND THERE'S NO PANIC THERE
JUST DANGLING MY FEET IN THE GRASS
MY LACK OF NATURAL LUSTRE NOW
SEEMS TO BE LOOSING ME FRIENDS
SO IN THE ABSENCE OF A WAY OF LIFE
I'LL REPEAT THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

[CHORUS]

Resigned Lyrics –Blur

I THINK TOO MUCH
ON THINGS I WANT TOO MUCH
IT MAKES ME HATEFUL
AND I SAY STUPID THINGS
ONLY YOU CAN FILL MY BLANK HEART
AND I'M RESIGNED TO THAT

I WISH THE SUN
COULD JUST KEEP ME WARM
AND I'M RESIGNED TO THAT
I'LL FORGET TO BREATHE SOMEDAY
I'VE NEVER STOPPED TO THINK WHY

"Leisure" (1991)


She's So High Lyrics –Blur

I see her face
Everyday
I see her face
It doesn't help me
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her
I think of her
Everyday
I think of her
It doesn't help me
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her
She doesn't help me
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her


Bang Lyrics –Blur

Sitting in a SDT
Waiting for an undreground trail
To rumble underneath my teeth
Bang goes another day
Where it went I could not say
Now I'll have to wait another week
Where all is said and all is done
What was said was never done
Don't panic
It's not really worth your while
Bang goes another day
In and out of one ear
Everybody's doing it so do it too

[chorus]
I don't need anyone
But a little love
Would make things better

Siiting on the early bus
Passing through the morning rush
It makes no difference
That I'm not with you
Bang goes another year
In and out of one ear
Everybody's doing it
I'll do it too

[Repeat chorus]


Slow Down Lyrics –Blur

It's up to you
You know it is
I can't convince you
All you have to do is
Slow Down
I've always said
It will never change
All you have to do
Just to be you
I think that's all I want to say
All these things
That I told you
I didn't mean at all
I'd forget you
So if you come here
If you come here
All you have to do
Just you be you
I think that's all I need to say to you

Repetition Lyrics –Blur

So sure,so sure you are
Nothing can,touch you know
I need to know
But you're forgetting me now
Slow down,don't be so
Eager to let me go
Realie it could change you
It could change your mind

[Chorus]
Try, try, try
All things remain the same
So why try again?


Bad Day Lyrics –Blur

Do you do anything you ever do
No she said
Do you want
Anything you ever wanted
No,she said

[Chorus]
She dont know how
How to feel
This is a bad day
This is a bad day
To know

Do you have anything
You ever had
No,she said
Do you love anyone
You ever loved
Yes,she said

[repeat chorus]


Sing Lyrics –Blur


I can't feel cos I'm numb
I can't feel cos I'm numb
What's the worth in all of this?
Sing to me
So what's the worth in all of this
If the child in your head
If the child is dead
Sing to me



There's No Other Way Lyrics –Blur

You're taking the fun
Out of everything
Making me run
When I don't want to think
You're taking the fun
Out of everything
I don't want to think at all

[Chorus]
There's no other way
There's no other way
All that you can do
Is watch them play

You're taking the fun
Out of everything
You're making it clear
When I don't want to think
You're taking me up
When I don't want to go up anymore
I'm just watching it all

[repeat chorus]


Fool Lyrics –Blur

Sorry but I don't understand
The things you say
They make no sense at all
Funny,I but think you meant them all
This time,don't you?
I know that you think I'm a fool
But couldn't you try
To forgive a fool
One more time
Sorry but I'm not really listening
I've got my mind on something else
Sometimes I wonder if i'm here
If I'm here at all
I know that you want me to go,don't you?
But it's not as easy as it seems
I know that you think
I'm not here at all but
I'm just as fed up as you
I know that you want to leave me
I'm amazed at how cold you can be
Well,may my weak and insipid soul
Grow stronger in your absence

Come Together Lyrics –Blur

I don't understand
You're walking over me
All over me,to you
Well you must be mad
And you know you are
You should have known
I'd do anything for you

[chorus]
So why,why
Can't we come together?why

Inside my head
It's all been taken out
By you and do I care
Well you know I do
You should have known
I'd do anything for you

[repeat chorus]

Now it's all been said
And you know it all
Then you should have known
I'd do anything for you
For you

[repeat choorus]


High Cool Lyrics –Blur

When you come here
Which sometimes do
Don't think that
I really want you to
And if you come here
Which you always do
Don't think that
I expect you to

Is that all I give you
Is that all I give you

And you talk too much
Which you always do
Don't think that
I really want you to
And if you talk too much
Which you always do
Don't think that
I really need you to

Is that all I give you
Is that all I give you

Birthday Lyrics –Blur


It's my birthday
No one here day
Very strange day
I think of you day
Go outside day
Sit in the park day
Watch the sky day
What a pathetic day
I dont like this day
it makes me feel too small
I dont like these days
They make me feel so small


Wear Me Down Lyrics –Blur

Every time I come here
I'm not sure what to say
I know it should be easy
But it never seems that way
You,you make me feel
Like no one ever will
So why,why do you bore me?
Untill my heart is still

You,you wear me down
My defenses are gone now
And I can't fight

I can't say I love you easily
But you wouldnt want me to
So I'd rather just say nothing
And leave it up to you
Then it's easy to forget

You're just as small as me
Then it's easy to forget
You're just as foolish as me

You, you wear me down
My defenses are gone now
And I cant fight

Fool's Day lyrics - blur

Wake up straight
Caught out by the sun
On the first day of April

Out of bed
Thought it was a plane crash
But I'm sure that I was dreaming

Tv on
Of course caffeine
A science of submission again

Another day
On this little island
Just a bell hangs on

Porridge done
I take my kid to school
Pased the pound shop, Woolworth's

Under bridge
Where the subway sees the daytime
And the Westway flies by

Then on my bike
Down the Ladbroke Grove
To the forthcoming dramas

A studio
And a love of all sweet music
We just can't let go

Let go, let go, let go, let go

So meditate
On what we've all become
On a cold day in springtime

Civil war
Is what we were all born into
Raise your left hand, right, sing

Don't capitulate to the forces
Of the market place
They've long departed

Consolidate
The love we have together
On a cold day in springtime
