[Verse 1]
Jubilee slouches in the settee
He's losing all will to move
He gone divvy, too much telly
He watching twenty-four hours of rubbish
He got butane, he got plastic bags
His eyes are going square, oh yeah
He no raver, just anti-social
He no going to cut his hair

[Chorus]
He dresses incorrectly, no-one told him how
Seventeen, he not mean enough
He dresses incorrectly, no-one told him how
Seventeen, he not keen on being like anyone else

[Verse 2]
Jubilee's dad, Billy Banker
Thinks his son's a slob
He should get out more, stop scabbing
He really should go and get a job

[Chorus]
He dresses incorrectly, no-one told him how to do it
Seventeen, he not mean enough
He dresses incorrectly, no-one told him how
Where to go, but he just don't get out enough
He dresses incorrectly, no-one told him how to do it
Talk to girls, but he's just too spotty
He dresses incorrectly, no-one told him how
Seventeen, he not keen on being like anyone else
So he just plays on his computer game

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
He dresses incorrectly, no-one told him how to do it
Seventeen, he not mean enough
He dresses incorrectly, no-one told him how
Where to go, but he just don't get out enough
He dresses incorrectly, no-one told him how to do it
Talk to girls, but he's just too spotty
He dresses incorrectly, no-one told him how
Seventeen, he not keen on being like anyone

[Outro]
He's not being like anyone
Jubilee is not like anyone else

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.
