[Verse 1]
Primal, evil, what am I?
Tongue-tied 'til the day I die
There's no love made with mermaids
It's just distraction, so they say

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm too tired to care about it
Can't you see this in my face, my face?

[Chorus]
When I feel this strange, can I go through this again?
When I feel this strange, can I go through this again?

[Verse 2]
It's a sorry state you're getting in
The same excuse is wearing thin
There's no self-control left in me
What was not will never will be

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm too tired to care about it
Can't you see this in my face, my face?

[Chorus]
When I feel this strange, can I go through this again?
When I feel this strange, can I go through this again?

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm too tired to care about it
Can't you see this in my face?
The emphasis is on coping
Can't you see this in my face, my face?

[Chorus]
When I feel this strange, can I go through this again?
When I feel this strange, can I go through this again?
When I feel this strange, can I go through this again?
When I feel this strange, can I go through this again?
(Can I be dreaming or am I just coping?)

[Outro]
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la

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.
