[Verse 1 : Noodle]
Shigoto no ato ni
Me ga same-ru
Nani ka shin-akucha
Shigoto no a-to ni

[Verse 1 : Noodle]
Shigoto no ato ni
Me ga same-ru
Nani ka shin-akucha
Shigoto no a-to ni

[Verse 2 : Noodle & 2-D]
Shigoto no ato ni (After a hard day)
Me ga same-ru (It's time to wake up)
Nani ka shin-akucha (I need a make-up)
Shigoto no a-to ni (After a hard day)

[Verse 3 : 2-D]
After a hard day
It's time to wake up
I need a make-up
After a hard day

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.
