[Verse 1]
Green, green, the neon green, new world towers
Carved out of grey white skies, twenty-four hours
Glide through the glass arcade to Hollywood
The psychopomp, it leads me dreaming

[Verse 2]
Of love, love, so far away, new world towers (Seven on me)
Log in your name and pray, twenty-four hours (Seven on me)
Green turns to red and blue and time relates (Seven on me)
To us all again (Seven on a left-hand side)
And sleep the rescue (Seven on me)

[Verse 3]
Green, green, the neon green, new world towers (Seven on me)
Plane flying overhead, satellite showers (Seven on me)
Fall like confetti on the cavalcade (Seven on me)
The flashboat seas (Seven on a left-hand side)
All auguries (Seven on me)
Reflected in you (Seven on a left-hand side)

[Bridge]
Seven on me
Seven on a left-hand side
Seven on me
Seven on me

[Verse 4]
Love, love, so far away, new world towers
Carved out of grey white sky, twenty-four hours
Green turns to red and blue and time relates (Seven on me)
The flashboat seas (Seven on a left-hand side)
All auguries (Seven on me)
Reflected in you (Seven on a left-hand side)

[Outro]
Seven on me
Seven on me
Seven on a left-hand side
Seven on me
Seven on me
Seven on me
Seven on me
Seven on a left-hand side
Seven on me

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.
