[Verse 1: Damon Albarn & Lætitia Sadier]
All those dirty words (Jusqu' la fin)
They make us look so dumb (En plein soleil)
Been drinking far too much (Jusqu' la fin)
And neither of us mean what we say (En plein amour)

[Chorus: Damon Albarn]
Well, you and I collapsed in love
And it looks like we might have made it
Yes, it looks like we've made it to the end

[Verse 2: Damon Albarn & Lætitia Sadier]
What happened to us? (Jusqu' la fin)
Soon it will be gone forever (En plein soleil)
Infatuated only with ourselves (Jusqu' la fin)
And neither of us can think straight any more (En plein amour)

[Chorus: Damon Albarn]
Well, you and I collapsed in love
And it looks like we might have made it
Yes, it looks like we've made it to the end
When you and I collapsed in love
Well, it looks like we might have made it
Yes, it looks like we've made it to the end

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge: Lætitia Sadier]
En plein amour

[Chorus: Damon Albarn]
You and I, we just collapsed in love
And it looks like we might have made it
Yes, it looks like we've made it to the end

[Outro: Lætitia Sadier]
En plein soleil
En plein soleil

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.
