[Verse 1]
Please excuse my tendency to colour everything I tell you
You don't understand, it takes me wherever I want to go
This is surely what I need, but I don't always think that way
And in the end, I can't help feeling I must sober into this

[Chorus]
I've got time to build you up so tall
You won't fall down on me
I've got time to build you up so tall
You won't fall down on me, down on me

[Verse 2]
Please excuse my tendency to colour everything I tell you
But in my mind, there's nothing that really ever holds us from the truth
So I build my ark for you and I hope you do the same for me
In the end, I can't help feeling just a sobering end to this

[Chorus]
I've got time to build you up so tall
You won't fall down on me
I've got time to build you up so tall
You won't fall down on me, down on me

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
I've got time to build you up so tall
You won't fall down on me
I've got time to build you up so tall
You won't fall down on me
I've got time to build you up so tall
You won't fall down on me
I've got time to build you up so tall
You won't fall down on me, down on me

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.
