[Verse 1]
Bill Barrett has a simple dream
He calls it his Plan B
There were buildings in the sky and the air is sugar free
And everyone is very friendly
Plan B arrived on a holiday
Took a cab to the shopping malls
Bought and ate 'til he could do neither any more
Then found love on Channel 44

[Chorus]
La, la-la-la-la, he wants to go to magic America
La, la-la-la-la, he'd like to live in magic America
With all those magic people

[Verse 2]
Bill Barrett sent his postcards home
To everyone he'd ever known they read
Fifty-nine cents gets you a good square meal
From the people who care how you feel

[Chorus]
La, la-la-la-la, he wants to go to magic America
La, la-la-la-la, he'd like to live in magic America
With all the magic people
With all the magic people

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
La, la-la-la-la, he wants to go to magic America
La, la-la-la-la, he'd like to live in magic America
La, la-la-la-la, so nice to be in magic America
La, la-la-la-la, he'd like to live in magic America
With all the magic people
With all the magic people
With all the magic people
With all the magic people

[Outro]
All the magic people, all the people
All the people, all the people
All the people, all the people
All the people, all the people

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.
