[Verse 1]
Who maddest one on the M1
Who hasn't stopped sucking his thumb
Who very straight and never grins
Who cares what car he's driving in

[Chorus]
He is because he saw it on a commercial break
And if he doesn't get what he wants then he gets a headache
Because he needs it, wants it, almost, loves it
He's here on his own, on globe alone, here on his own

[Verse 2]
Who joined health club to glisten
Into hi-fi precision
Who mobile phone gives him the bone
Who very keen on Sharon Stone

[Chorus]
He is because he saw it on a commercial break
And if he doesn't get what he wants then he gets a headache
Because he needs it, wants it, almost, loves it
He's here on his own, all globe alone
Here on his own, all globe alo-lo-lo-lo-lone
And then he says

[Verse 3]
Who eats at the new brasserie
Who only ever gets merry
Who wouldn't be seen at bedtime
Without putting Calvin Kleins on

[Chorus]
He is because he saw it on a commercial break
And if he doesn't get what he wants then gets a headache
Because he needs it, wants it, almost, loves it
He's here on his own, all globe alone
Here on his own, all globe alone
Here on his own

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.
