[Verse 1]
Only the magical transit children
Sing-sing a lullaby, bah-bah-bah
Sitting on the pavement, sucking on a long straw
It's colourful, it's colourful, but it washes you out
Here is my violence and here is the excuse
I learnt it all, but only second-hand
Falling into walls, well, what is it with you?
You'd never know, never know, never know

[Chorus]
We planned it all this way
We planned it all this way
Pressure on Julian

[Verse 2]
Swimming in yellow, pissy water
Sand getting in between the ears
No blood in head in this bloody weather
Irate people with yellow tongues
Only the magical transit children
Sing-sing a lullaby, bah-bah-bah
Falling into walls, well, what is it with you?
You'd never know, never know, never know

[Chorus]
We planned it all this way
We planned it all this way
Pressure on Julian

[Bridge]
There was pressure on Julian
Pushing trolleys in the car park
From B to A, then back to B
Pressure on Julian
He keeps passing out, poor little snout
The birds are singing at night
The birds are singing at night
Pressure on Julian

[Chorus]
We planned it all this way
We planned it all this way
Pressure on Julian

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.
