[Verse 1]
I'm alive, I can breathe the air
I can hurt you, I can pull out hair
Somersault into your room
You can't catch me, I'm carried away

[Verse 2]
I woke up, to another late door
I'm getting up with nothing on my mind
Halfway down the stairs, I feel a pain in my chest
I shouldn't have ever got out of bed

[Chorus]
Then everything shattered
Just at the point that it mattered
Yes, then everything shattered
Just at the point that it mattered, ah-ha

[Verse 3]
I'm alive, I can breathe the air
I can hurt you, I can pull out hair
Anything in your mind, don't put it in mine
You can't catch me, I'm carried away

[Verse 4]
I woke up, I wake up every day
I have nothing, there is nothing to say
Halfway down the stairs, I feel a pain in my chest
I shouldn't have ever got out of bed

[Chorus]
Then everything shattered
Just at the point that it mattered
Yes, then everything shattered
Just at the point that it mattered, ah-ha

[Bridge]
I'm alive, I'm can breathe the air
I can hurt you, I can pull out hair
Halfway down the stairs, I feel a pain in my chest
I shouldn't have ever got out of bed

[Outro]
I'm hanging over

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.
