[Verse 1]
There are too many of us
That's plain to see
We all believe in praying
For our immortality
We've posed these questions to our children
That calls them all to stray
And live in tiny houses
Of the same mistakes we made

[Chorus]
'Cause there are too many of us
In tiny houses here and there
Passing out of somewhere
But you won't care

[Verse 2]
There are too many of us
That's plain to see
And we all believe in praying
For our own immortality
For a moment, I was dislocated
My terror on a loop elsewhere
The flashing lights part vacated
On the big screens everywhere

[Chorus]
'Cause there are too many of us
In tiny houses here and there
Just passing out of somewhere
But you won't care

[Verse 3]
There are too many of us
In tiny houses here and there
All looking through the windows
On everything we share

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
We pose these questions to our children
It leads them all to stray
And live in tiny houses
Of the same mistakes we make

[Chorus]
'Cause there are too many of us
Oh, that's plain to see
All living in tiny houses (Passing out of somewhere)
Of our own mortality (But you won't care)

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.
