[Verse 1]
A malady has taken him over
Coughing tar in his Japanese motor
The lights are magic and he feels lucky
And he's got money, shoots like an arrow, oh

[Chorus]
London loves the mystery of a speeding car
London loves the misery of a speeding heart

[Verse 2]
It's love you like and everyone's at it
And words are cheap when the mind is elastic
He loves the violence, keeps ticking over
So sleep together before today is sold forever

[Chorus]
London loves the way people just fall apart
London loves the way you just don't stand a chance
London loves the mystery of a speeding car

[Bridge]
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

[Chorus]
London loves the mystery of a speeding car
London loves the mystery of a speeding heart
London loves the mystery
(Hey, hey) London loves the way people just fall apart
London loves the way we just don't stand a chance
London loves a speeding heart

[Outro]

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.
