[Verse 1]
Do you do anything you ever do?
"No," she said
Do you want anything you ever wanted?
"No," she said

[Chorus]
She don't know how
How to feel
This is a bad day
This is a bad day
To know

[Verse 2]
Do you have anything you ever had?
"No," she said
Do you love anyone you ever loved?
"Yes," she said

[Chorus]
She don't know how
How to feel
This is a bad day
This is a bad day
To know

She don't know how
How to feel
This is a bad day
This is a bad day
To know

She don't know how
How to feel
This is a bad day
This is a bad day
To know

She don't know how
How to feel
This is a bad day
This is a bad day
To know

[Outro]
To know
To know

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.
