[Intro]
Bugman, bugman

[Verse 1]
I am an ex offender
They let me out in the summer
I think I was in a coma
I didn't know what to do
Oh no

[Chorus]
You go hang around, go 'round
I'll watch myself hang on
Look out for the bugman
You go hang around, around
I'll watch myself hang on
Look out for the bugman

[Verse 2]
I got no sense of existence
I know the nodding dogs
I go out in the city
I stay away from the bugs
Oh yeah

[Chorus]
You go hang around, go 'round (na, na, na na na)
I'll watch myself look out (na, na, na na na)
Look out for the bugman (na, na, na na na)
You go hang around, around (na, na, na na na)
I'll watch myself hang on (na, na, na na na)
Look out for the b-b-b-bugman (na, na, na na na)
The b-b-b-bugman
The b-b-b-bugman
The b-b-b-bugman
Oh bugman!

[Verse 3]
I go out in the city
I stay away from the bugs
Oh yeah

[Interlude]
Na, na, na na na, oh, no
Na, na, na na na, oh, no
Na, na, na na na, oh, no
Na, na, na na na, oh, no
Na, na, na na na, oh, no
Na, na, na na na, oh, no
I go out in the city
Look out for the Bugman
Stay away from the ooh-ooh bugs
Stay away from the ooh-ooh bugs
Stay away from the ooh-ooh bugs
Stay away from the ooh-ooh bugs
Stay away from the ooh-ooh bugs

[Outro]
Na, na, na na na, oh, no
Na, na, na na na, oh, no
Na, na, na na na, oh, no
Na, na, na na na, oh, no
Na, na, na na na, oh, no
Na, na, na na na, oh, no
Space is the place
Space is the place
Space is the place
Space is the place
Space is the place
Space is the place
Space is the place
Space is the place

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.
