[Verse 1]
I don't understand
Walking all over me
All over me, to you
You must be mad
And you know you are
You should have known I'd do anything for you

[Chorus]
So why, why
Can't we come together?
Why, why, why
Can't we come together?
Why?

[Verse 2]
Inside my head, there's nothing left
It's all been taken out by you
And do I care?
Well, you know I do
You should have known I'd do anything for you

[Chorus]
So why, why
Can't we come together?
Why, why, why
Can't we come together?
Why?

[Verse 3]
Now it's all been said
And you know it all
Then you should have known I'd do anything for you

For you
For you
For you
For you

[Chorus]
So why, why
Can't we come together?
Why, why, why
Can't we come together?
Why?

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.
