[Verse 1]
Practice doesn't make perfect when you're interbreeding
Speaking drivel, can it get confused with heavy breathing?
Mixing drinks at water holes get snarled up in the suburbs
Meandering through this and that, you're suspected of vagueness

[Chorus]
When work is done, go to Villa Rosie every night
So tasty
Go form a queue at Villa Rosie every night
So tasty

[Verse 2]
Across the common every day, you come across the fine line
But wearing boots can prevent the leeches in the long grass
Eating between meals stifles the appetite, is it healthy?
Coming home, that nagging doubt there in your belly

[Chorus]
And all the while at Villa Rosie every night
You're tasty
A sweeter life at Villa Rosie every night
So taste

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
All losers come to Villa Rosie every night
They're waiting
So form a queue at Villa Rosie every night
So tasty
Don't break your own back at Villa Rosie every night
We're tasting
A sweeter life at Villa Rosie every night
So tasty

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.
