Strange News from Another StarBlur

Songwriter: Damon Albarn Graham Coxon Dave Rowntree Alex James

Producer: Stephen Street

[Verse 1]
All I want to be is washed out by the sea
No Death Star over me, won't give me any peace
All I want is light relief, put the crazies on the street
Give them guns and feed them meat
They'll shoot the death star down, dig a hole and put it down
Thousand miles underground

[Chorus]
They say it's no game
There's strange news from another star
I'm lost, I'm lost
There's strange news from another star

[Verse 2]
Give me all your stuff until I can't get up
Watch the whole world freeze, counting tin cans in our sleep
Submarines diving deep
I don't believe in me, I don't believe in me
All I've ever done is tame, will you love me all the same?
Will you love me though it's always the same?

[Chorus]
They say it's no game
There's strange news from another star
I'm lost, I'm lost
There's strange news from another star

[Outro]
From another star
From another star
From another star

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.
