[Verse 1]
At the music heist
I met the gourmet man
With aluminium lungs
Who sucks out all he can
He sees the whole world go flip
In a stunt bug style
'Cause he's a parasite
With a cellulite pile
But he can smile

[Chorus]
'Cause this is the music
And we're movin' on, we're movin' on
Hey, this is the music
We're movin' on, we're movin' on

[Verse 2]
We're sticky eyes and sticky bones
You get no time on your own
You get a dose and a ghost
You get it coast to coast
Now you dye your hair black
Get Satan tattooed on your back
You pierce yourself with a coke can
And rub yourself in fake tan
Now you're in a band

[Chorus]
'Cause this is the music
And we're movin' on, we're movin' on
Hey, this is the music
We're movin' on, we're movin' on
No matter how low, there's always further to go
And we're movin' on, we're movin' on
No matter how low, there's always further to go
We're movin' on, we're movin' on
It won't be long, we're movin' on

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Hey, this is the music
We're movin' on, we're movin' on
Yeah, this is the music
We're movin' on, we're movin' on
No matter how low, there's always further to go
And we're movin' on, we're movin' on
No matter how low, there's always further to go
And we're movin' on, we're movin' on

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.
