[Verse 1]
It's automatic (It's automatic)
I need to unload (Need to unload)
Under the pressure (Under the pressure)
Gone middle of the road (Middle of the road)
You fall into fashion (Fall into fashion)
Fall out again (Fall out again)
We stick together (We stick together)
Because it never ends (It never ends)

[Chorus]
Here comes a low (I'm a boy and you're a girl)
Here comes a high (The only ones in the world)
Here comes everything (You and me, we'll work it out)
Here it comes, you, me, we'll work it out

[Verse 2]
Here comes tomorrow (Here comes tomorrow)
One, two, three episodes (Three episodes)
We stick together (We stick together)
Gone middle of the road (Middle of the road)
'Cause that's entertainment (That's entertainment)
That's the sound of the wheel (Sound of the wheel)
It'll roll on forever (Roll, roll forever)
Yeah, you know how it feels (Know how it feels)

[Chorus]
Here comes a low (I'm a boy and you're a girl)
Here comes a high (The only ones in the world)
Here comes everything (Like monkeys out in space)
Here it comes (We are members of the human race)
Here comes a high (I'm a boy and you're a girl)
And here comes a low (The only ones in the world)
Here comes everything (You and me, we'll work it out)
Here it comes, you, me, we'll work it out

[Bridge]
It's automatic (It's automatic)
I need to unload (Need to unload)
Under the pressure (Under the pressure)
Gone middle of the road (Middle of the road)

[Chorus]
Here comes a low (I'm a boy and you're a girl)
Here comes a high (The only ones in the world)
Here comes everything (Like monkeys out in space)
Here it comes (We are members of the human race)
Here comes a high (I'm a boy and you're a girl)
Here comes a low (The only ones in the world)
Here comes everything (You and me, we'll work it out)
Here it comes, you, me, we'll work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out

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.
