[Verse 1]
Sitting in a SDT
Waiting for an underground train to rumble underneath my feet
Bang goes another day
Where it went, I could not say
Now I'll have to wait another week
When all is said and all is done
What was said was never done
Don't panic, it's not really worth your while
Bang goes another year
In and out of one ear
Everybody's doing it, so do it too

[Chorus]
I don't need anyone
But a little love would make things better
I don't need anyone
But a little love would make things better

[Verse 2]
Sitting on the early bus
Passing through the morning rush
It makes no difference that I'm not with you
Bang goes another year
In and out of one ear
Everybody's doing it, I'll do it too

[Chorus]
I don't need anyone
But a little love would make things better
I don't need anyone
But a little love would make things better
[x3]

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.
