I always knew that there would be someone somewhere
Who had it in for me
I always knew that there would be no-one nowhere
Who was anything like me

I'm all over
All over
All over
I'm the only one

I'm hanging around, going nowhere
Waiting for it to happen to me
I always knew that there would be no-one nowhere
Who was anything like me

I'm all over
All over
All over
I'm all over
All over
All over
You're the only one

I always knew that there would be someone somewhere
Who had it in for me
I always knew that there would be no-one nowhere
Who was anything like me

I'm all over
All over
All over
You're the only one

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.
