[Verse 1]
You and me we try to change
We try so hard it's all the same
I'm just waiting for it to be -- gin again

Ahh

[Verse 2]
I'm forgetting who I am
That makes me wonder why I am
Trying so hard to find sense when there's, none at all

Ahh
Ahh

[Chorus]
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down, down

[Verse 3]
Staring at the sun all day
If you stare too long you get burned away
Now there's nothing left of me so have it all

Ahh

[Verse 4]
Forgetting again I blame
My past has just faded away
Now I can tell you everything there is to know about

Ahh

[Chorus]
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down down

Ahh
Ahh

[Chorus]
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down down down

[Outro]
Ahh, oh ho -- ohhoh
Ahh -- down
Oh -- down, down

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.
