All goes up and down
Make it turn around
The time of your life
All look alike
So low
Make it turn around
All goes up and down
The sound of your laugh
Morricone alone wrote it

Blowing up the sky
(Na na na na na)
Blowing up the sky
(Na na na na na)
Make it turn around
(Na na na na na)
Make it turn around
But the sound of your laugh

You don't have it, no you don't have it You don't have it

All goes up and down
All goes up and down
The time of your laugh
All look alike
So low

Make it turn around
(Make it turn around)
Make it turn around
(Na na na na na)
The sound of your laugh
Morricone alone wrote it

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.
