[Verse 1]
Wash with new soap behind the collar
Keeps a clean mental state
Don't usually bother in cold weather
But still I'm getting into work late
And I don't need the practice

[Chorus]
I've been making plans (For the future)
Become an unconscious man (All for the good)
I feel so unnecessary (We don't think so, you seem star-shaped)

[Verse 2]
I have a couple at the weekend
Keeps up camaraderie
And my mind boggles in the muddle
At the possibilities
And I don't need the practice

[Chorus]
I've been making plans (For the future)
Become an unconscious man (All for the good)
I feel so unnecessary (We don't think so, you seem star-shaped)
And I've been making plans (For the future)
Become an unconscious man (All for the good)
I feel so unnecessary (We don't think so, you seem star-shaped)

[Verse 3]
I wash with new soap behind the collar
Helps keep down the laundry
And now I bother in cold weather
Because it cleans me mentally
And I really don't need the practice

[Chorus]
I've been making plans (For the future)
Become an unconscious man (All for the good)
I feel so unnecessary (We don't think so, you seem star-shaped)
I've been making plans (For the future)
Become an unconscious man (All for the good)
I feel so unnecessary (We don't think so, you seem star-shaped)

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.
