[Verse 1]
A fervid image of another world
Is nothing in particular now
And imitation comes naturally
But I never really stopped to think how
And everyone is a clever clone
A chrome-covered clone am I
So in the absence of a way of life
Just repeat this again and again and again

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Popscene!
Alright

[Verse 2]
I'm leaving town to run away
Run into your twisted arms
No queues and there's no panic there
Just dangle your feet in the grass
My lack of natural lustre now
Seems to be losing me friends
So in the absence of a way of life
I'll repeat this again and again and again

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Popscene!

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Popscene!
Alright
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Hey, hey, come out tonight
Popscene!

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.
