Oh, you make me feel
Like no one ever will
Why do you bore me
Until my heart stands still
Until my heart stands still

Then you confuse me
That makes me hateful
When I get hateful
I say stupid things about you
All those things I know about you

Oh, it's the strangest feeling to know
There are a billion people just like you
Feeling like you in their own way, they're...
Just as mixed up as you
Poor little mixed up you
Poor little mixed up you
Mixed up you

And all those things
I said about you
I take them back
I eat my words
I didn't mean them
I mean so little
I'm so fickle
I forget you
I forget you
Just as mixed up as you
Poor little mixed up you
Poor little mixed up you

Oh, it's the strangest feeling to know
There are a billion people just like you
They all feel like you
And in their own way, they're just as...
Da da da da da da da da...

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.
