[Verse 1]
Pedalling on a bicycle
I'm on my way to make a call
I tried to touch you through the double glazing
But the curtains were drawn, the family are away

[Chorus]
You used to know, but now you don't
You used to know, but now you don't
You used to know, but now you don't
No one can see when they get mace in their eyes

[Verse 2]
They're papering the walls and the windows
No lodging here, in or out
The heating's on and I'm feeling drowsy
I fall asleep and dream of burning down the house

[Chorus]
You used to know but now you don't
You used to know but now you don't
You used to know but now you don't
No one can see when they get mace in their eyes

[Verse 3]
I'm pedalling on a bicycle
I'm on my way to make a call
The sun is out and I'm feeling drowsy
I fall asleep and dream of burning down the house

[Chorus]
You used to know but now you don't
You used to know but now you don't
You used to know but now you don't
No one can see when they get mace in their eyes

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.
