Blur - Swallows in the Heatwave Lyrics | gotlyric.com

Released: September 15, 1997

Songwriter: Damon Albarn Graham Coxon Alex James Dave Rowntree

Producer: Blur

I want to contribute
To natural selection
Buy myself a razor
Watch swallows in the heatwave
Meet the rebel leaders
They're coming cause they need us

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

I don't have a history
For religion
Goin' out to get one
Get into my Volvo
Drive into the mountains
Watch swallows in the heatwave

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.
