[Verse 1]
Mirrorball on a Jordan train
I was under sea then up for air
I did not retain
Ocean Park, where the seagulls cry
I remember flying dragons too
I was there with you

[Chorus 1]
So before you log out
Hold close to me
Hold close to me

[Verse 2]
I'll be back when December comes
All the barriers have been pulled down
Where is everyone?
Oh, mirrorball, you're spinning out to sea
Think I found you in the temple square
Under the wishing tree

[Chorus 2]
So cry your eyes out
Hold close to me
Hold close to me

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 3]
I cried my eyes out
Hold close to me
Hold close to me
Hold close to me
Hold close to me

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.
