[Verse 1]
The point at which you looked at me
Has always been part of my brain
Now my mind is in a whirl
And it seems I am not the same

[Chorus]
My dear and special friend
There's never a point at which we end, no, no

[Verse 2]
I'm in mine and mine is fine
I'm wrapped up in shiny things
Blackbirds in summer time
They find a low, I end up being you

[Chorus]
My dear and special friend
There's never a point at which we end, no, no

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
The point at which you looked at me
Has always been part of my brain
Now my mind is in a whirl
And it seems I am not the same

[Chorus]
My dear and special friend
There's never a point at which we end, no, no

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.
