Oi!

Why it is you just let down yourself
You let yourself down you don’t know why
But you’ve taken it, just don’t stop

I‘m the original
I’m the original
When it comes to the suburbs
I‘m the original
Being English isn’tabout hate
It’s about disgust
We‘re all disgusting

[Chorus]
And then you move, move, move, move
And you push, push, push, push
And you trip over yourself and you think to yourself
Why am l here?
I’m here because I’ve got no fuckin’ choice

And furthermore
Furthermore

You’re boring!

I‘m the original
I’m the original
When it comes to the suburbs

[Chorus]
And then you move, move, move, move
And you push, push, push, push
And you trip over yourself and you think to yourself
Why am I here?
I’m here because I’ve got no fuckin’ choice

And furthermore
Furthermore

You’re boring!

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.
