[Verse 1]
For coughs and colds and scabby holes
Itchy pimples, unseemly moles
For funny turns and Chinese burns
For aching heads, we're most concerned
For staying lively, getting it nightly
Yes, we guarantee

[Chorus]
That's Ultranol, it's the new remedy
Before you go to bed, take two or three
When you wake up, you'll feel better

[Refrain]
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na

[Verse 2]
For aches and pains and jellied brains
Help you sleep and smile again
And now you're aimless, blameless, almost nameless
You get much more, although you pay less
Revitalise that sexual drive
In fact, be born again

[Chorus]
Yes, Ultranol will put you on the map
Take four or five, then have a little nap
When you wake up, you'll feel better

[Verse 3]
For coughs and colds and your scabby holes
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
It'll keep you young though you're feeling old
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
If you're not protected, you're gonna get it
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
So suck 'em and see, you won't regret it
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)

[Outro]
Suck 'em and see, suck 'em and see
Suck 'em and see, suck 'em and see

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.
