[Verse 1: Françoise Hardy & Damon Albarn]
Tous ces bals masqués (Si peu d'amour)
Du mauvais cinéma (Et tant de haine)
We've been drinking far too much (Si peu d'amour)
And neither of us mean what we say (Et tant de haine)

[Chorus: Françoise Hardy]
La comédie du grand amour
Vous ne me ferez pas l'injure de la jouer, jusqu'au bout
De me la jouer jusqu'au bout

[Verse 2: Françoise Hardy & Damon Albarn]
Pourquoi tant de haine (Si peu d'amour)
C'est un accident de voirie (Et tant de haine)
Infatuated only with ourselves (Si peu d'amour)
And neither of us can think straight anymore (Et tant de haine)

[Chorus: Damon Albarn]
Well, you and I collapsed in love
And it looks like we might have made it
Yes, it looks like we've made it to the end

[Chorus: Françoise Hardy]
La comédie du grand amour
Je ne vous ferai pas l'honneur de la jouer jusqu'au bout
De vous la jouer jusqu'au bout

[Bridge: Françoise Hardy]
Si peu d'amour

[Chorus: Françoise Hardy & Damon Albarn]
La comédie du grand amour
Vous ne me ferez pas l'injure de la jouer, jusqu'au bout
De me la jouer jusqu'au bout

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.
