[Verse 1]
They stumbled into their lives
In a vague way became man and wife
One got the other
They deserved one another

[Verse 2]
They settled in a brand new town
With people from the same background
They kept themselves busy
Long hours left them dizzy

[Pre-Chorus]
Now when he's in, she's out

[Chorus]
All I want to do is fade away
All I want to do is fade away
He's not making plans, 'cause now he understands
All I want to do is fade away

[Verse 3]
He noticed he had visible lines
She worried about her behind
Their birth had been the death of them
It didn't really bother them

[Pre-Chorus]
Now when she's in, he's out

[Chorus]
All I want to do is fade away
All I want to do is fade away
She's not making plans, 'cause now she understands
All I want to do is fade away

[Pre-Chorus]
When he's in, she's out

[Chorus]
All I want to do is fade away
All I want to do is fade away
They're not making plans, 'cause now they understand
He must learn to forget, because this is all you'll ever get
All I want to do is fade away
All I want to do is fade away
All I want to do is fade away
They're not making plans, 'cause now they understand
All I want to do is fade away
All I want to do is fade away
All I want to do is fade away

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.
