[Chorus]
I know, I know, I know it'll come between us
I know, I know

[Verse 1]
What you want to be is what I am
How you want to feel is how I feel
But nothing seems the same when I am here
Just waiting for it all to disappear

[Chorus]
I know, I know, I know it'll come between us
I know, I know

[Verse 2]
I'd like to get into that pretty head
Just to see, to see if you are dead
And it would amuse me just to see how
How you feel about me and this crowd

[Chorus]
I know, I know, I know it'll come between us
I know, I know

I know, I know, I know it'll come between us
I know, I know

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
What you want to be is what I am
How you want to feel is how I feel
But nothing seems the same when I am here
Just waiting for it all to disappear

[Chorus]
I know, I know, I know it'll come between us
I know, I know

I know, I know, I know it'll come between us
I know, I know

I know, I know, I know it'll come between us
I know, I know

I know, I know, I know it'll come between us
I know, I know

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.
