[Intro]
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]
I get a set alone
Dancing with myself
Greedy go-getter gone
The luxury of stealth
Obsidian the ha-a-a-a-a-all
Dancing with myself
I get into my bed
I do it to myself

[Chorus 1]
To the local (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
To the lo-o-o, I go out (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
To the lo-o-o-o-ocal, by myself (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
To the lo-o-o-o-ocal (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 2]
I get into my head
There's nothing to be addressed now
There's nothing to get up about
'Cause we do it all the time
The shepherdess undone
She done it all again
I get ready to go
The greed go-getter come

[Chorus 2]
He going to the local (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
He going to the local-oh-oh (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
He going to the lo-o-o-o-ocal (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
He going to the lo-o-o-o-ocal (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 3]
Too many Western men
Top button left undone
Imperious their signs
The pedlars of luxury
A greedy go-getter in the sky bar
She on her own
She get ready to go
She does it with herself

[Chorus 3]
She does it with herself (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
She does it with herself (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
She does it on her o-o-o-o-o-own (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
She does it on her o-o-o-o-o-own (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-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.
