Coming from your eyes
No more selfish lies
It's an awful week
Marry me you freak
There's nothing on the wall
In the bitter hall
The neon lights are on
Some a bit are gone

I'm alone
And I'm alone
And I'm alone
And I'm alone

But you know love is weak
Shifting as we speak
Animals lie down
Ritual underground
The other seems to change
With them all again
The neon lights are on
Stellar we'll take off

I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone

British rock group Blur formed in 1988 and began life as a fairly unsuccessful shoegaze/madchester outfit, but the band quickly developed into becoming one of the leaders of the massive 1990s Britpop scene.

Their rivalry with contemporaries Oasis culminated in one of the most famous chart battles in British history – one which Blur won when “Country House” outsold Oasis’s “Roll With It” by 50,000 copies, giving Blur their first #1 single in the process.

Following this, the group embarked on a new musical direction, deliberately heading away from their trademark Britpop sound and instead taking influences from American alternative rock, a sound which earned them new fans in the US and gave them their second UK #1: “Beetlebum” in 1997.
