[Verse 1]
So far I've not really stayed in touch
Well, you knew as much
It's no surprise that today
I get up around two from a lack of anything to do

[Chorus]
And I might as well just grin and bear it
Because it's not worth the trouble of an argument

[Verse 2]
And you have not really stayed in touch
Well, I knew as much
It's no surprise that today
I get up around two with nothing to do, except get a touch of flu

[Chorus]
And I might as well just grin and bear it
Because it's not worth the trouble of an argument
And in any case I'd rather wear it
It's like a bad head in the morning
And I know

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
And I might as well just grin and bear it
Because it's not worth the trouble of an argument
And in any case I'd rather wear it
It's like a bad head in the morning
So I might as well just grin and bear it
'Cause it's not worth the trouble of an argument
And in any case I'd rather wear it
You're like a bad head in the morning
And I know

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.
