[Verse 1]
Waiting on this empty day
It's just the same as any day
And although I've got nothing to say
I'm going to say it anyway

[Chorus]
Day, day upon day, day upon day, day upon day

[Verse 2]
Everybody's here with me
We're in the smallest rooms, you see
And although we've got nothing to do
We're going to do it, do it, do

[Chorus]
Day, day upon day, day upon day, day upon day

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.
