[Verse 1]
And into the sea
Goes pretty England and me
Around the Bay of Biscay
And back for tea
Hit traffic on the Dogger Bank
Up the Thames to find a taxi rank
Sail on by with the tide
And go to sleep
And the radio says

[Chorus]
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
Finding ways to stay solo

[Verse 2]
Up the Tyne, Forth and Cromarty
There's a low in the high forties
Saturday's locked away on the pier
Not fast enough, dear
And on the Malin head
Blackpool looks blue and red
And the Queen, she's gone 'round the bend
Jumped off Land's End
And the radio says

[Chorus]
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
Finding ways to stay solo

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
Finding ways to stay solo

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.
