Fade Away Lyrics - Blur

They stumbled into their lives
In a vague way became man and wife
One got the other they deserved one another
They settled in a brand new town
With people from the same background
Kept themselves busy
Long hours left them dizzy
Now when he's in, she's out

All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
They are not making plans
Because now they understand
All you ever do is fade away

He noticed he had visible lines
She worried about her behind
Their birth had been the death of them
It didn't really bother them
Now when she's in, he's out

All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
She's not making plans
Because now she understand
All you ever do is fade away

When he's in, she's out

All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
They're not making plans
Because now they understand
You must learn to forget
Cause this is all you have
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away

They're not making plans
Because now they understand
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away

Top Man Lyrics - Blur

This is a public warning
Be careful when you're out
We are having freaky weather
There's a lot of it about
On the terraces is it swinging
He's a monkey on the roof
You've seen him on the telly
So let me introduce you're host tonight

T.o.p.m.a.n.
he's naughty by nature
T.o.p.m.a.n.
on doubles and chasers
T.o.p.m.a.n.
guilette or a razor
T.o.p.m.a.n.
shooting guns on the high street of love

In a crowd it's hard to spot him
But anonymity can cost
He's never cheap or cheerful
He's hugo and he's boss
He's riding through the desert on a camel light
And on a magic carpet he'll fly away tonight
Open sesame

T.o.p.m.a.n.
he's naughty by nature
T.o.p.m.a.n.
on doubles and chasers
T.o.p.m.a.n.
guilette or a razor
T.o.p.m.a.n.
shooting guns on the high street of love
T.o.p.m.a.n.
sees her in double
T.o.p.m.a.n.
then pukes on the pavement
T.o.p.m.a.n.
likes her all clean and shaven
T.o.p.m.a.n.
shooting guns on the high street of love

T.o.p.m.a.n.
he's naughty by nature
T.o.p.m.a.n.
on doubles and chasers
T.o.p.m.a.n.
guilette or a razor
T.o.p.m.a.n.
shooting guns on the high street of love
T.o.p.m.a.n.
shooting guns on the high street of love
T.o.p.m.a.n.
shooting guns on the high street of love


The Universal Lyrics - Blur


This is the next century
Where the universal's free
You can find it anywhere
Yes, the future has been sold
Every night we're gone
And to karaoke songs
How we like to sing a long
Although the words are wrong

It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go

No one here is alone, satellites in every home
Yes the universal's here, here for everyone
Every paper that you read
Says tomorrow is your lucky day
Well, here's your lucky day

It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go

Well, it really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go

Just let them go


Mr. Robinsons' Quango Lyrics - Blur

Mr. robinson and his quango
Dirty dealer, expensive car
Runs the buses and the evening star
He got a hairpiece and he got herpes
His private life is very discreet
A nicer man you're never going to meet
A self professed saviour of the dim right wing
He's got respiratory problems and a masons ring

Mr. robinson and his quango
Drinks with the general and the county wives
Yes the family business is doing all right
They are doing tangos down in the quangos
He makes them tick and he makes them tock
And if he doesn't like you he'll put you in the dock
He just sits in his leather chair and twiddles his thumbs
Gets his secretary in and pinches her bum

He ran into the toilet in the town hall
Got a biro out and he wrote on the wall
I'm wearing black french knickers on under my suit
Wearing stockings and suspenders oh I'm feeling rather loose

Oh I'm a naughty boy
Oh I'm a naughty, naughty boy

Oh I'm a naughty boy, oh I'm a naughty, naughty boy
Oh I'm a naughty boy, oh I'm a naughty, naughty boy
Oh I'm a naughty boy, oh I'm a naughty, naughty boy


"He Thought Of Cars Lyrics - Blur

Moscow's still red, the young man is dead
Gone to heaven instead, the evening news says he was confused
The motorways will all merge soon, lottery winner buys the moon
They've come to save us, the space invaders are here

He thought of cars and where, where to drive them
Who to drive them with
There, there was no-one, no-one

There's panic at london heathrow
Everybody wants to go up into the blue
But there's a ten year queue
Columbia is in top gear, it shouldn't snow at this time of year
Now america's shot gone and done the lot

He thought of planes and where, where to fly to
And who to fly there with
Where, there was no-one, no-one

He thought of cars and where, where to drive them
Who to drive them with
There, there was no-one, no-one



It Could Be You Lyrics - Blur

Churchill got his lucky number but tomorrow there's another
Could be me, could be you, no silver spoon
Sticky teeth they rot too soon
You've got to have the best tunes or that's it, you've blown it

All we want is to be happy in our homes like happy families
Be the man on the beach with the world at his feet
Yes, it could be you, ohoh oh

The likely lads are picking up the uglies
Yesterday they were just puppies
Beery slurs now life's a blur
Telly addicts
You should seem that at it
Getting in a panic
Will we be there?
Trafalgar square

All we want is to be happy in our homes like happy families
Be the man on the beach with the world at his feet
Yes, it could be you

Could be me, could be you
Could be me, could be you

Could be me, could be you
Could be me, could be you, could be you, could be you

Don't worry, if it's not your lucky number
Because tomorrow there is another
Could be you, could be me

All we want is to be happy in our homes like happy families
Be the man on the beach with the world at his feet
Yes, it could be you, ohoh oh


Ernold Same Lyrics - Blur

Ernold same awoke from the same dream in the same bed at the same time
Looked in the same mirror made the same frown
And felt the same way as he did every day
Then ernold same caught the same train at the same station
Sat in the same seat with the same nasty stain next to same old what's his name
On his way to the same place to do the same thing again and again and again
Poor old ernold same

Oh ernold same, his world stays the same
Today will always be tomorrow
Poor ernold same, he's getting that feeling once again
Nothing will change tomorrow

Globe Alone Lyrics - Blur

Who met this one on the m1
Who hasn't stopped sucking his thumb
Who very straight and never grins
Who cars what car he's driving in

He is because he saw it on a commercial break
And if he doesn't get what he wants then he'll get a headache
Because he needs it, wants it, almost loves it
He's here on his own, on globe alone
Here on his own

Who joined health club to glisten
Into hi-fi precision
Who's mobile phone gives him the bone
Who very keen on Sharon Stone

He is because he saw it on a commercial break
And if he doesn't get what he wants then he'll get a headache
Because he needs it, wants it, almost loves it
He's here on his own, on globe alone

Here on his own, on globe alone

Who eats at the new brasserie
Who only ever gets Mary
Who wouldn't be seen at bedtime
Without putting Calvin Kleins on

He is because he saw it on a commercial break
And if he doesn't get what he wants then he'll get a headache
Because he needs it, wants it, almost loves it
He's here on his own, on globe alone
Here on his own, on globe alone, here on his own

Dan Abnormal Lyrics - Blur


Meanie Leanie come on down
Come and entertain the town
It's friday night and we're all bored
Times being called there is no more
Times being called it's such a bore

Dan Abnormal not normal at all
It's not his fault we made him this way
He'll imitate you, try to ape you
But it's not his fault Dan watches tv, tv, tv

Meanie Leanie stays up late
Mopes around gets in a state
The killer in your arcade
Shooting gangstas ready made
Cause that is where the future's made

Dan Abnormal not normal at all
It's not his fault we made him this way
He'll imitate you, try to ape you
But it's not his fault Dan watches tv, tv, tv

Dan went to his local burger bar
I want mcnormal and chips
Or I'll blow you to bits
Give us it

It's the miseries at half past three
Watching video nasties
He has dirty dreams when he's asleep
Dan's just like you and me
He's the Meanie Leanie

Dan Abnormal not normal at all
It's not his fault we made him this way
He'll imitate you, try to ape you
But it's not his fault Dan watches tv, tv, tv
Dan Abnormal not normal at all
It's not his fault we made him this way
He'll imitate you, try to ape you
But it's not his fault Dan's as normal as me

Entertain Me Lyrics - Blur

The weekend is back
But so is he
Head to the floodlights
See the fraternity
They're waiting
I hear them up in the north
And down in the south
And all that is spewing
Spewing out of his mouth
Entertain me, entertain me
Entertain me, entertain me

At his and hers dating
Bored minds agree
Requirements to be stated
Replies awaited
She wants a loose fit
He wants instant whip
He guesstimates her arrival
Will she want it really badly
Entertain me, entertain me
Entertain me, entertain me
Entertain me, entertain me

A car, a house both in street
The boredom of the sober week
The weekend is here hip,hip hooray
To make the blues just go away
Entertain me, entertain me
Entertain me, entertain me

Yuko And Hiro Lyrics - Blur


This is my work place
And these are the people I work with
Yuko and hiro
We work together
We work for the company
That works to the future
We work hard to please me
They will protect us

I never see you
We're never together
I'll love you forever

I drink in the evening
It helps with relaxing
I can't sleep without drinking
We drink together
From monday to saturday
I go to my workplace
But on sunday we are together
Yuko and hiro

I never see you, I never see you
We're never together, we're never together

I never see you, I never see you
We're never together, we're never together
I love you forever

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.

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

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

Antares aldebaran altair wolf 359

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]


London Loves Lyrics - Blur

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

LONDON LOVES
THE MYSTERY OF A SPEEDING CAR

THE WAY YOU JUST DON'T STAND A CHANCE
LONDON LOVES
THE MYSTERY OF A SPEEDING CAR

O-OH O-OH O-OH O-OH

THE MISERY OF A SPEEDING HEART

THE MYSTERY

LONDON LOVES
THE WAY PEOPLE JUST FALL APART
LONDON LOVES
THE WAY WE JUST DON'T STAND A CHANCE
LONDON LOVES
A SPEEDING HEART


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

La la la la la

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]

Jubilee Lyrics - Blur

Jubilee slouches in the settee
He losing all will to move
He gone divy too much telly
He watching 24 hours of rubbish
He got butane he got plastic bags
His eyes are going square oh yeah
He no raver just anti social
He no going to cut his hair

HE DRESSES INCORRECTLY... NO-ONE TOLD HIM SEVENTEEN, HE NOT MEAN
ENOUGH
HE DRESSES INCORRECTLY... NO-ONE TOLD HIM SEVENTEEN, NOT KEEN ON
BEING LIKE ANYONE ELSE

Jubilee's dad Billy Banker
He thinks his son is a slob
He should get out more stop scabbing
He really should go and get a job

HE DRESSES INCORRECTLY... NO-ONE TOLD HIM SEVENTEEN
HE NOT MEAN ENOUGH
HE DRESSES INCORRECTLY... NO-ONE TOLD HIM WHERE TO GO
BUT HE JUST DON'T GET OUT ENOUGH
HE DRESSES INCORRECTLY... NO-ONE TOLD HIM TALK TO GIRLS
BUT HE'S JUST TOO SPOTTY
HE DRESSES INCORRECTLY... NO-ONE TOLD HIM SEVENTEEN
HE NOT KEEN ON BEING LIKED BY ANYONE ELSE
SO HE JUST PLAYS ON HIS COMPUTER GAME

HE DRESSES INCORRECTLY... NO-ONE TOLD HIM SEVENTEEN
HE NOT MEAN ENOUGH
HE DRESSES INCORRECTLY... NO-ONE TOLD HIM WHERE TO GO
BUT HE JUST DON'T GET OUT ENOUGH

HE DRESSES INCORRECTLY... NO-ONE TOLD HIM TALK TO GIRLS
BUT HE'S JUST TOO SPOTTY
HE DRESSES INCORRECTLY... NO-ONE TOLD HIM SEVENTEEN
HE NOT KEEN ON BEING LIKED
ANYONE HE'S NOT BEING LIKE
ANYONE JUBILEE'S NOT LIKE
ANYONE ELSE

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]

For Tomorrow Lyrics - Blur

HE'S A TWENTIETH CENTURY BOY, WITH HIS HANDS ON THE RAILS
TRYTNG NOT TO BE SICK AGAIN AND HOLDING ON FOR TOMORROW
LONDON ICE CRACKS ON A SEAMLESS LINE, HE'S HANGING ON FOR DEAR
LIFE
SO WE HOLD EACH OTHER TIGHTLY AND HOLD ON FOR TOMORROW.

[CHORUS]
SINGING LA LA LA LA LA
HOLDING ON FOR TOMORROW

SHE'S A TWENTIETH CENTURY GIRL, WITH HER HANDS ON THE WHEEL
TRYING NOT TO MAKE HIM SICK AGAIN, SEEING WHAT SHE CAN BORROW
LONDON'S SO NICE BACK IN YOUR SEAMLESS RHYMES, BUT WE'RE LOST ON
THE WESTWAY
SO WE HOLD EACH OTHER TIGHTLY AND HOLD ON FOR TOMORROW

[CHORUS]

TRYING NOT TO BE SICK AGAIN AND HOLDING ON FOR TOMORROW.

(JIM STOPS AND GETS OU THE CAR, GOES TO A HOUSE IN EMPERORS GATE,
THROUGH THE DOOR AND TO HIS RROM, THEN HE PUTS THE TV ON, TURNS

SUSAN COMES INTO THE ROOM, SHE'S A NAUGHT GIRL WITH A LOVELY
SMILE AND SAYS LET'S TAKE A DRIVE TO PRIMROSE HILL IT'S WINDY
THERE AND THE VIEW IS SO NICE, LONDON ICE CAN FREEZE YOUR TOES
LIKE ANYONE I SUPPOSE)

HOLDING ON FOR TOMORROW

Advert Lyrics - Blur


[AD LIB FROM THE SHOPPING CHANNEL]

IT'S SIX O'CLOCK ON THE DOT AND I'M HALF WAY HOME
I FEEL FOUL MOUTHED AS I STAND AN WAIT FOR THE UNDERGROUND
AND A NERVOUS DISPOSITION DOES'NT AGREE WITH THIS
I NEED SOMETHING TO REMIND ME THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE

[CHORUS]
YOU NEED A HOLIDAY SOMEWHERE IN THE SUN
WITH ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WAITING THERE NEVER SEEMS TO BE ONE
SAY SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING ELSE

ADVERTISMENTS ARE HERE FOR RAPID PERSUASION
IF YOU STARE TOO LONG YOU LOOSE YOUR APPETITE
A NERVOUS DISPOSITION DOESN'T AGREE WITH THIS
YOU NEED FAST RELIEF FROM ACHES AND STOMACH PAINS

[CHORUS]

DO YOU ADVERT THINK

Colin Zeal Lyrics - Blur


COLIN ZEAL KNOWS THE VALUE OF MASS APPEAL
HE'S A PEDESTRIAN WALKER, HE'S A CIVIL TALKER
HE'S AN APFABLE MAN WITH A PLAUSIBLE PLAN
KEEPS HIS EYE ON THE NEWS, KEEPS HIS FUTRURE IN HAND
AND THEN HE

[CHORUS]
LOOKS AT HIS WATCH HE'S ON TIME YET AGAIN
HE'S PLEASED WITH HIMSELF, SO PLEASED WITH HIMSELF, HE'S
PLEASED WITH HIMSELF AH AH.

WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC, COLIN THINKS IN AUTOMATIC
HE'S AN IMMACULATE DRESSER, HE'S THE COMMON AGGRESSOR
HE'S A MODERN RETARD WITH A LOVE OF BOMBLAST
KEEPS HIS EYE ON THE NEWS NEVER DWELLS ON THE PAST
AND THEN HE

[CHORUS]

HE'S A MODERN RETRARD, HE'S A TERMINAL LARD,
HE'S AN AFFABLE MAN WITH A CARROTENE TAN BECAUSE COLIN'S ZEAL IS
ILL.


Pressure On Julian Lyrics - Blur

ONLY THE MAGICAL TRANSIT CHILDREN SING, SING THE LULLABY BAH BAH

SITTING ON THE PAVEMENT SUCKING ON A LONG STRAW, IT'S COLOURFUL,
IT IS COLOURFUL, BUT IT WASHES YOU OUT.

HERE IS MY VIOLENCE AND HERE IS THE EXCUSE, I LEARNT IT ALL BUT
ONLY SECOND HAND
FALLING INTO WALLS WELL, WHAT IS IT WITH YOU, YOU'D NEVER KNOW,
NEVER KNOW, NEVER KNOW.

[CHORUS]
WE PLANNED IT ALL THIS WAY, WE PLANNED IT ALL THIS WAY
PRESSURE ON JULIAN

SWIMMING IN YELLOW PISSY WATER, SAND GETTING IN BEWEEN THE EARS
SO BLOOD IN HEAD IN THIS BLOODY WEATHER, IRRATE PEOPLE WITH
YELLOW TONGUES

ONLY THE MAGICAL TRANSIT CHILDREN SING, SING LULLABY BAH BAH BAH
FALLING INTO WALLS, WELL WHAT IS IT WITH YOU, YOU'D NEVER KNOW
NEVER KNOW, NEVER KNOW.

[CHORUS]

(THERE WAS PRESSURE ON JULIAN, PUSHING TROLLEYS IN THE CAR PARK

FALLING INTO WALLS WELL, WHAT IS IT WITH YOU, YOU'D NEVER KNOW,

Star Shaped Lyrics - Blur

WASH WITH NEW SOAP BEHIND THE COLLAR
KEEPS A CLEAN MENTAL STATE
DON'T USUALLY BOTHER IN COLD WEATHER
BUT STILL I'M GETTING INTO WORK LATE
AND I DON'T NEED THE PRACTISE

[CHORUS]
I'VE BEEN MAKING PLANS (FOR THE FUTURE)
BECOME AN UNCONCIOUS MAN (ALL FOR THE GOOD)
FEEL SO UNECESSARY (WE DON'T THINK SO, YOU SEEM STARSHAPED)

I HAVE A COUPLE AT THE WEEKEND
HELPS KEEP UP COMARADERIE
AND MY MIND BOGGLES IN THE MUDDLE
AT THE POSSIBILITIES
AND I DON"T NEED ANY PRACTISE

[CHORUS]

WASH WITH NEW SOAP BEHIND THE COLLAR
HELPS KEEP DOWN THE LAUNDRY
AND NOW I BOTHER IN COLD WEATHER
BECAUSE IT CLEANS ME MENTALLY


Blue Jeans Lyrics - Blur

AIR CUSHIONED SOLES, I BOUGHT THEM ON THE PORTABELLO ROAD ON
SATURDAY
I STOP AND STARE A WHILE, A COMMON PASTIME WHEN CONVERSATION GOES
ASTRAY

[CHORUS]
BUT DON'T THINK I'M WALKING OUT OF THIS
SHE DOESN'T MIND, WHATEVER I SAY, WHATEVER I SAY
DON'T REALLY WANT TO CHANGE A THING, I WANT TO STAY THIS WAY
FOREVER

BLUE, BLUE JEANS I WEAR THEM EVERY DAY, THERE'S NO PARTICULAR
REASON TO CHANGE
MY THOUGHTS ARE GETTING BANAL, I CAN'T HELP IT BUT I WON'T PULL
OUT HAIR ANOTHER DAY

[CHORUS]

YOU KNOW IT'S TO BE WITH YOU

Chemical World Lyrics –Blur


THE PAY-ME GIRL HAS HAD ENOUGH OF THE BLEEPS
SO SHE TAKES A BUS INTO THE COUNTRY
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]
