No Monsters in MeBlur

Songwriter: Damon Albarn Graham Coxon Alex James Dave Rowntree

[Verse 1]
Gary Golf stops all the clocks
With night nurse slippers and socks
He tries to keep his thoughts clean
By washing with Listerine
A little peck on the cheek
In Dazzed pyjamas and sheets
Keep the light on, I'm not tired
I want to read my Dick Francis, dirty Fräuleins and nasty Nazis

[Chorus]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(La, la, la) There are no monsters in me
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(La, la, la) There are no monsters in me

[Verse 2]
Car alarms letting off steam
Gary hears them in his dreams
Panic outside is seeping in
Just easy listening to him
Turns in his sleep and smiles to himself
There are no monsters in me
'Cause Gary's out on the green
No growing pains for him, 'cause Gary Golf ball eyes is not in

[Chorus]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(La, la, la) There are no monsters in me
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(La, la, la) There are no monsters in me

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(La, la, la) There are no monsters in me
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(La, la, la) There are no monsters in me
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(La, la, la) There are no monsters in me
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(La, la, la) There are no monsters, no monster-monsters in me

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.
