[Verse 1]
There is a flower within my heart
Daisy, Daisy
Planted one day by a glancing dart
Planted by Daisy Bell
Whether she loves me or loves me not
Sometimes it's hard to tell
Yet, I am longing to share the lot
Of beautiful Daisy Bell

[Chorus]
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do
I'm half-crazy, all for the love of you
It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet up on the seat of a bicycle built for two

[Verse 2]
We will go tandem as man and wife
Daisy, Daisy
Peddling our way down the road of life
I and my Daisy Bell
When the road's dark and we both despise
Policemen, their lamps as well
There are bright lights in those dazzling eyes
Of beautiful Daisy Bell

[Chorus]
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do
I'm half-crazy, all for the love of you
It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet up on the seat of a bicycle built for two

[Bridge]
I will stand by you in wheel or woe, Daisy, Daisy
You'll be the bell which I'll ring, you know, sweet little Daisy Bell
You'll take the lead on each trip we take, then if I don't do well
I will permit you to use the brake, my beautiful Daisy Bell

[Chorus]
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do
I'm half-crazy, all for the love of you
It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet up on the seat of a bicycle built for two
Oh, Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do
I'm half-crazy, all for the love of you
It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet up on the seat of a bicycle built for two

[Outro]
But you'll look sweet on the seat of a bicycle built for two
Of a bicycle built for two, of a bicycle built for two
For two, for two, for two, for two

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.
