Tell Me, Tell MeBlur

Released: October 4, 1993

Featuring: Seymour

Songwriter: Alex James Dave Rowntree Graham Coxon Damon Albarn

Producer: Graeme Holdaway

Tell me, tell me, tell me please
What is this that offends me
Drives me to a state of hopelessness
Has it any sense at all
Has it any worth at all
Or is it just an utter mess

The funny thing that makes me do
The things that I do to you
Although I know they are so damn very cold
I'm in a stupor, can't explain
My mind is gone, my mind is gone
There seems so very little I can do

And all these things I want to know

[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me, tell me please [Repeat: x3]
Won't you tell me, please

My head's so full of emptiness
It's so hard to sustain the mess
I've no idea who I am at all
So tell me, tell me, tell me please
What is this that offends me
Before I smash my head against the wall

And all these things I want to know

[Chorus: x2]

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.
