[Verse 1]
If you come here, which you sometimes do
Don't think that I really want you to
And if you come here, which you always do
Don't think that I expect you to

[Chorus]
Is that all I give you?
Is that all I give you?

[Verse 2]
And you talk too much, which you always do
Don't think that I really want you to
And if you talk too much, which you always do
Don't think that I really need you to

[Chorus]
Is that all I give you?
Is that all I give you?

Is that all I give you?
Is that all I give you?

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.
