Death of a PartyBlur

Released: February 10, 1997

Songwriter: Damon Albarn Graham Coxon Dave Rowntree Alex James

Producer: Stephen Street

[Verse 1]
The death of the party
Came as no surprise
Why did we bother?
Should have stayed away

[Chorus]
Another night
And I thought "Well, well"
Go to another party and hang myself
Gently on the shelf

[Verse 2]
The death of the teenager
Standing on his own
Why did he bother?
Should have slept alone

[Chorus]
Another night
And I thought "Well, well"
Go to another party and hang myself
Gently on the shelf
Another night
And I thought "Well, well"
Go to another party and hang myself
Gently on the shelf

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.
