[Verse 1]
Ch-Ch-Ch-Churchill, got his lucky number
Tomorrow there's another
Could be me, could be you
No silver spoon, sticky teeth, they rot too soon
You've got to have the best tunes
Or that's it, you've blown it

[Chorus]
All we want is to be happy
In our homes like happy families
Be the man on the beach with the world at his feet
Yes, it could be you, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
The likely lads are picking up the uglies
Yesterday, they were just puppies
Beery slurs, now life's a blur
Telly addicts, you should see them at it
Getting in a panic
Will we be there, Trafalgar Square?

[Chorus]
All we want is to be happy
In our homes like happy families
Be the man on the beach with the world at his feet
Yes, it could be you, oh-oh-oh

[Bridge]
Could be me, could be you
Could be me, could be you
Could be me, could be you
Could be me, could be you
Could be me, could be you
Should be me, should be you

[Verse 3]
But don't worry if it's not your lucky number
'Cause tomorrow there's another
Could be you, could be me

[Chorus]
All we want is to be happy
In our homes like happy families
Be the man on the beach with the world at his feet
Yes, it could be you, oh-oh-oh

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.
