I got the licence, I got dirty knees
I've been swinging in trees
A paid-up member, I've been eating fleas
Running naked in the breeze

Catatonia itch, Catalonia stitch
Oh, I've been running for miles
I start to tingle from my head to my toes
Oh, tomorrow it's a taint on the nose

Hetty-etty-etty hating no money till it goes

Get out of city, return to the trees, yeah yeah
Get out of city, return to the trees, yeah yeah
Get out of city, return to the trees, yeah yeah
Get out of city, return to the trees

She's in the sort of films that capital phrase
Raise the pictures down the whole of Benin
Catatonia itch, Catalonia stitch, oh
Pray tomorrow it's itch, in-itchy, itchy
Could do yourself on your nap

Get out of cities, return to the trees, yeah yeah
Get out of cities, return to the trees, yeah yeah
Get out of cities, return to the trees, yeah yeah
Get out of cities, return to the trees

Get out of cities, return to the trees, yeah yeah
Get out of cities, return to the trees, yeah yeah
Get out of cities, return to the trees, yeah yeah
Get out of cities, and return to the trees

Get out of cities, return to the trees, yeah yeah
Get out of cities, return to the trees, yeah yeah
Get out of cities, return to the trees, yeah yeah
Get out of cities, and return to the trees

Blur

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.
