[Verse 1]
The always man is always finding
He's hitting his head against a wall
He'd do it to you, he'd do it again
He knows what to do
I've always found you complicated
I've always tried to shut you out
I do what I do, I'd do it again
Again, again, again

[Chorus]
I'd like you to know, it's alright
It's the world around us
I need you to know, I'm alright
No need to worry about me 'cause I'm just fine

[Verse 2]
The always man has lost his meaning
Smash his head against a wall
He'd do it to you, he'd do it again
He's coming back to you
You give me the strangest feeling
You shut me out of myself
You do it to me, then you do it again
Again, again, again

[Chorus]
I'd like you to know, it's alright
It's the world around us
I need you to know, I'm alright
No need to worry about me 'cause I'm just fine
I'm just, I'm just fine

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
And I'd like you to know, it's alright
It's the world around us
I need you to know, I'm alright
No need to worry about me 'cause I'm just fine
I'm just fine, I'm just fine
I'm just fine

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.
