Alex’s SongBlur

Released: November 7, 1994

Songwriter: Alex James

Producer: Blur

[Verse 1]
Dick got the girl and he sailed around the world
Why not? What else have you got?
If you're not in the boat that... hello
Love will give me the moon, whoops

[Chorus]
Way beyond these voices
And out of the groove
In a dream, forever starts when you wake up
Starts when you wake up

[Verse 2]
Dick got the girl and he sailed around the world
What? Oh, yeah, sorry, around the world
Why not? What else has he got?
I don't know, and I know, I don't know
Love will give me the moon, oh dear

[Chorus]
Far beyond these voices
And out of the groove
In a dream, forever starts when you wake up
Starts when you wake up

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.
