[Verse 1]
Well, I'm building a highway back
Back to the heart of things
No love left to walk back
Back to the heart of things
So, I'm building above and back
All our city gone red
When I get it all from you
I'm gonna get it all true, true

[Verse 2]
(One, two, three, four)
It's cold when I say goodbye
People holding a meaning, why?
But you never let the car get in
Howling on the sound of swim
Did you want a wind and a sail
It would take a boat
All of the infinitive rope
Say what you want, don't bring
Anything back to me
Cause I'm old, I will say goodbye
Hoping to run out of my lie
If I get a lot from you
I'll make it all come true

Gorillaz is a virtual band created by Damon Albarn of Britpop band Blur and Jamie Hewlett, co-creator of the comic book Tank Girl. The band is composed of four animated band Stuart “2D” Pot (vocals, keyboard), Murdoc Niccals (bass), Noodle (lead guitar and occasional vocals), and Russel Hobbs (drums and percussion). Murdoc was based on Keith Richards from a photo by David Bailey and 2D was based on a friend of Damon and Jamie’s.

The project began as an experiment and commentary on popular media. It was inspired by Hewlett and Albarn binge watching MTV when the two were housemates in London. Hewlett

If you watch MTV for too long, it’s a bit like hell – there’s nothing of substance there. So we got this idea for a cartoon band, something that would be a comment on that.
