[Verse 1]
This is the voice of someone calling from a lonely hill
To the hard of hearing, or those who never will
A long-leggéd someone seen walking away from home
Like a vacant dreamer walking alone, alone

[Chorus]
Days that turn and turn
Which is what which we learn
As average believers
In the book of Badgeman Brown

[Verse 2]
They're dropping like flies in a suburban house
From a lack of anything, anything to keep them penned-in
And the town keeps screaming from a lonely hill
Another lack of people, those who never will

[Chorus]
Days that turn and turn
Which is what which we learn
As average believers
In the book of Badgeman Brown

[Verse 3]
This is the voice of someone calling from a lonely hill
To the hard of hearing, or those who never will

[Chorus]
Days will turn and turn
Which is what which we learn
As average believers
In the book of Badgeman Brown

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.
