Blur - "She's so high"

See her face
Everyday
See her face
Doesn't help me
See her face
Everyday
See her face
Doesn't help me

She's so high
She's so high
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her
She's so high
She's so high
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her

Think of her
Everyday
Think of her
Doesn't help me
Think of her
Everyday
Think of her
Doesn't help me

She's so high
She's so high
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her
She's so high
She's so high
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her

She doesn't help me
She doesn't help me
She doesn't help me

She's so high
She's so high
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her
She's so high
She's so high
She's so high
I want to crawl all over her

Blur - "Bang"

Sitting in an S.D.T.
Waiting for an underground train
To rumble underneath my feet
Bang goes another day
Where it went I could not say
Now I'll have to wait another week
When 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 year
In and out of one ear
Everybody's doing it so - do it too

I don't need anyone
But a little love would make things better
I don't need anyone
But a little love would make things better

Sitting 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
Evrybody's doing it I'll - do it too

I don't need anyone
But a little love would make things better
I don't need anyone
But a little love would make things better

I don't need anyone
But a little love would make things better
I don't need anyone
But a little love would make things better
I don't need anyone
But a little love would make things better
I don't need anyone
But a little of your love would make things better

Blur - "Slow Down"

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

Blur - "Repetition"

(So much...)
So sure
So sure you are
Nothing can touch you now
I need to know
Did you think of me
But you're forgetting me now
Slow down
Don't be so
Eager to let me go
Realise it could change you
It could change your mind

Try, try, try
Try, try, try
All things remain the same
So why try again
Try again

Slow down
Don't be so
Eager to let me go
I need to know
Do you think of me
But you've forgotten me now

Try, try, try
Try, try, try
All things remain the same
So why try again
Try again
Try again
Try again

Try, try, try
Try, try, try
All things remain the same
So why try again
Try again
Try again
Try again
Try, try again
Try, try again

Blur - "Bad Day"

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]

Blur - "Sing"

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

Blur - "There's No Other Way"

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]

Blur - "Fool"

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

Blur - "Come Together"

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]

Blur - "High Cool"

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

Blur - "Birthday"

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

Blur - "Wear Me Down"

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

Blur - "Advert"

Food processors are great!

It's six o'clock on the dot and I'm half way home
I feel foul mouthed as I stand and wait for the underground
And a nervous disposition doesn't agree with this
I need something to remind me that there's something else

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
Say something, say something else

Advertisements are here for rapid persuasion
If you stare too long you lose your appetite
A nervous disposition doesn't agree with this
You need fast relief from aches and stomach pains

I 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
Say something, say something else

You can have our holidays, yes ladies and gentlemen, for
one day only, a special offer

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
Go on!
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else
Say something, say something else

Blur - "For tomorrow"

He's a twentieth century boy,
with his hands on the rails.
Trying not to be sick again
and holding on for tomorrow.


London ice cracks on a seamless line,
he's hanging on for dear life.
And so we hold each other tightly,
and hold on for tomorrow.


(Chorus)
Singing,
La, la la l-la. La, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la.
La, la la l-la. La, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la.
La, la la l-la. La, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la.
Holding on for tomorrow.


She's a twentieth century girl,
with her hands on the wheel.
Trying not to be 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 we can wait until tomorrow.


(Chorus)


(instrumental break)


We're trying not to be sick again,
and holding on for tomorrow.

She's a twentieth century girl,
holding on for dear life.
And so we hold each other tightly,
and hold on for tomorrow.


(Chorus. Repeated in Background.)

Blur - "Colin Zeal"

Colin Zeal knows the value of mass appeal
He's a pedestrian walker, he's a civil talker
He's an affable man with a plausible plan
Keeps his eye on the news, keeps his future in hand

And then he...

Looks at his watch, he's on time yet again
Looks at his watch, he's on time yet again
He's pleased with himself, he's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself, ah ha

While sitting in traffic, Colin thinks in automatic
He's an immaculate dresser, he's your common aggressor
He's a modern retard with a love of bombast
Keeps his eye on the news, doesn't dwells on the past

And then he...

Looks at his watch, he's on time yet again
Looks at his watch, he's on time yet again
He's pleased with himself, he's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself, ah ha
He's pleased with himself, he's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself, ah ha

And then he...

Looks at his watch, he's on time yet again
Looks at his watch, he's on time yet again
He's pleased with himself, he's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself, ah ha
He's pleased with himself, he's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself, ah ha
He's pleased with himself, he's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself, ah ha
He's pleased with himself, he's so pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself, ah ha

He's a modern retard, he's terminal lard
He's an affable man, with a carrotene tan
Because Colin Zeal's ill
Colin Zeal's ill
Colin Zeal's ill)

'Cos Colin Zeal knows

Blur - "Pressure On Julian"

Only the magical transit children,
sing, sing the lullaby, bah bah bah.
Sitting on the pavement, sucking on a long straw.
It's colorful, it's colorful, but it washes you out.

Here is my violence, and here is the excuse.
I learned it all, but only second hand.
Falling into walls, well what is it with you.
You 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 between their ears.
No blood in head in this bloddy weather.
Irate people with yellow tounges.


Only the magical transit children,
sing, sing the lullaby, bah bah bah.
Falling into walls, well what is it with you.
You never know, never know, never know.

(Chorus)


(There was pressure on Julian,
pushing trolleys in the car park,
from B to A, then back to B.
Pressure on Julian,
he keeps passing out,
Poor, precious little snout,
the birds are singing at night.
Pressure on Julian)

(Chorus)

Blur - "Star shaped"

I 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 practice.

(Chorus)
I've been making plans(for the future).
Become an unconscious man(all for the good).
I feel so uneccessary
(We don't think so. You seem star shaped).


I have a couple, at the weekend
Helps the camaradarie.
And my mind boggles, in the middle.
At the possibilities

And I don't need the practice.

(Chorus)


(Instrumental Break)

I wash with new soap behind the collar.
Helps keep down the laundry.
And now I bother, in cold weather.
Because it cleans me mentally.

And I really don't need the practice.

(Chorus 2x)

Blur - "Blue jeans"

Air cushioned soles
I bought them on the Portbello Road on a Saturday
I stop and stare awhile
A common pastime when conversation goes astray

And don't think I'm walking out of this
She don't mind
Whatever I say, whatever I say
I 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

And don't think I'm walking out of this
She don't mind
Whatever I say, Whatever I say
I don't really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever
If you don't mind
Whatever I say, Whatever I say
I don't really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever

You know it's to be with you

Don't give up on me yet
Don't think I'm walking out of this
She don't mind
Whatever I say, Whatever I say
I don't really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever
If you don't mind
Whatever I say, Whatever I say
I don't really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever

You know it's to be with you

Blur - "Chemical world"

The pay-me girl has had enough of the bleeps
So she takes the bus into the country
Although she got herself rosy cheeks
She didn't leave enough money to pay the rent
The landlord 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

And I don't know about you
But they're 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

And I don't know about you
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes
It's been a hell of a do
They've been putting the holes in, yes, yes, yes

I don't know about you
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes
It's been a hell of a do
They've been putting the holes in, yes, yes
And now she's found about you
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes
Well I don't know about you
They've been putting the holes in, yes, yes

Blur - "Sunday, Sunday"

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
To gather the family around the table
To eat enough sleep
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
The England he knew is no more
He sings the Songs of Praise but always falls asleep
For that Sunday sleep

But he knows what he knows
Sunday, Sunday

Oh, that Sunday sleep....

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
You gather the family around the table to eat enough to sleep
And Mother's Pride is your epithet
That extra slice you'll soon regret
So going out is your best bet, then bingo yourself to sleep
Oh that Sunday sleep....

Blur - "Oily water"

Lead in me and me in water,
Dangling in my world
I swallowed too much oily water,
it keeps slipping down my spine

In a sense of self in 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 the whole world will be alright

(CHORUS)

Blur - "Miss America"

Miss America sits in the shower
She's plucking hours from the sky
Picks up the telephone, 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 no jellybean, she 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
Da, do, da, da, do

Here is here and I am here, where are you?
Far away, far away
She no jellybean, she 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 (x3)

Blur - "Villa Rosie"

Practice 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're suspected of vagueness.

When work is done, got 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).

(Instrumental Break)


All losers 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 waiting)
A sweeter life at Villa Rosie every night
(So tasty)

Blur - "Coping"

Primal, evil what am I
Tongue-tied 'til the day I die
There's no love made mermaids
It's just distraction or so they

And I'm too tired to care about it
Can't you see this in my face, my face

When I feel this strange can I go through this again?
When I feel this strange can I go through this again?

It's a sorry state you're getting in
The same excuse is wearing thin
There's no self control left in me
What was not will never will be

And I'm too tired to care about it
Can't you see this in my face, my face

When I feel this strange can I go through this again?
When I feel this strange can I go through this again?
(....Or am I just coping?)

And I'm too tired to care about it
Can't you see this in my face
The emphisis on coping
Can't you see this in my face, my face

When I feel this strange can I go through this again?
When I feel this strange can I go through this again? (x2)
(Can I be dreaming?...Or am I just coping?)

Blur - "Turn it up"

Kazoo, kazoo you are mine,
kazoo kazoo every time

Turn it up, turn it off, turn it in (x4)

Anyway you choose,
anyway you choose at all
Sometimes you get too much,
some days it all gets too much

Kazoo, kazoo you are mine,
why do you turn your back on me?

Turn it up, turn it off, turn it in (x4)

Anyway you choose,
anyway you choose at all
Some days you do too much,
some days it all gets too much

Kazoo, kazoo you are mine,
kazoo kazoo every time

Turn it up, turn it off, turn it in (x4)

Blur - "Resigned"

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 never stop to think why

Blur - "Girls & boys"

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
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
'Cuz there's none available
Like battery thinkers
Count your thoughts
On one two three four
Five fingers
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
You get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr schn
But we haven't been
Introduced

Blur - "Tracy Jacks"

Tracy Jacks
Works in civil service
It's steady employment
Is a golfing fanatic
But his putt is erratic
Saw a Harley Street doctor
Who prescribed healthy living
But he's getting past forty
And all the seams are splitting
Every day 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
At five in the morning
Got on the first train to Walton
And stood on the sea front laughing
Threw his clothes in the water
And ran around naked
Got stopped by the police
And escorted back home
And then it happened on a Tuesday morning
Tracy Jacks bulldozed down the house he lived in
Saying
It's just so overrated

Blur - "End Of A Century"

She says 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
We all say
Don't want to be alone
We wear the same clothes
'Cuz we feel the same
And kiss with dry lips
When we say goodnight
End of a century
It's nothing special
Sex on the TV
Everybody's at it
And the mind gets dirty
As you get closer
To thirty
He gives her a cuddle
Glowing in a huddle
Good night TV
You're all made up
And you're looking like me
Can you eat her?
Yes, you can
