[Verse 1]
Oh you are so very strange
Sometimes I think you've gone insane
Is it hard to remain sane in this giddy world?
Couldn't you give it a go
We're all trying so hard you know
Couldn't you give it a go
Just for me

[Chorus]
Did I say I want to know
When I'm talking about a goal
Would you please leave me alone
Can't you see I want to be on my own

[Verse 2]
Oh, how was I to get in your head
Just to see if you are dead
Oh, I'd like to get into that pretty head
And it would amuse me just to see
How you felt about me
How you feel about always getting fried

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Oh, I'm getting fried
We're all getting fried

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.
