[Verse 1]
Clear skies this morning, airplane passes
At a slight angle, second one follows
Regional weather continues to baffle her
But she's not stupid, she's just friendly

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know what to do, today is up to you
Can I pass through you?

[Chorus]
Tame, tame, tame, tame
Tame, tame, tame, tame
Tame, tame, tame, tame
Tame, tame, tame, tame

[Verse 2]
Applause in background and coffee mornings
The show bonanzas and what to buy there
Circus of horrors in Orwell cities, ah
You fall to pieces, well, I must be dreaming

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know what to do, today is up to you
Can I pass through you?
And I don't know what to do, my absence is due
Can I pass, can I?

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Tame, tame, tame, tame
Tame, tame, tame, tame
Tame, tame, tame, tame
Tame, tame, tame, tame

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know what to do, today is up to you
Can I pass through you?
And I don't know what to do, my absence is due
Can I pass through you?

[Chorus]
Tame, tame, tame, tame
Tame, tame, tame, tame
Tame, tame, tame, tame
Tame, tame, tame, tame
Tame, tame, tame, tame
Tame, tame, tame, tame
Tame, tame, tame, tame
Tame, tame, tame, tame

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.
