Some glad morning life was born
In the shadows of a lifeless dawn
Just a few more weary days
I'd be back with you too eternally
Shine upon us, always say
Get the bunch and go away
Fame will fade in lull, a bulb
Well, the world is driving low

If they're in a zoo, what do you do?
For inspiration, dream a scene
It's on the nation

Nightingale will sing your song
Farely he's been gone to long
Come back to miber world
Get the door before you go

So glad it just falls on you
A melody will pull you through
You're blurding by a dirty mine
Hurt it back, blew your gun

Nightingale will sing your song
Farely he's been gone to long
Come back to miber world
Get the door before you go

Some glad morning life was on
In the shadows of a life of dawn
Just a few more weary days
I'd be back with you too eternally

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.
