Blur is an English alternative rock band.
They began in London, England in 1989.
They were a part of the 90’s Brit-Pop music movement.
Blur’s rival was another famous English band called Oasis.
Both bands would talk bad about the other band in music magazines.
Blur became very famous in England.
However, until 1997 they had only little success in America.
That year they released their 4th album “Blur.”
That album had a famous single called “Song 2.”
In the next album “13” they experimented with electronic music.
In 1998, singer Damon Albarn started a side band called the Gorillaz.
In 2003, Blur released their final album “Think Tank”
After a long tour they decided to break up.
Now the Gorillaz have become a very well known band.
In 2009, Blur reunited and performed several concert tours.
I always thought Blur was cooler than Oasis.
By the way, my favorite Blur songs are “Coffee and TV” and “Out of Time.”
“Coffee and T.V.”
Do you feel like a chain store?
Practically floored
One of many zeros
Kicked around bored
Your ears are full but you’re empty
Holding out your heart
To people who never really
Care how you are
So give me Coffee and TV
easily
I’ve seen so much
I’m going blind
And I’m brain dead virtually
Sociability
It’s hard enough for me
Take me away from this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again
Do you go to the country
It isn’t very far
There’s people there who will hurt you
‘Cause of who you are
Your ears are full of the language
There’s wisdom there you’re sure
‘Til the words start slurring
And you can’t find the door
So give me Coffee and TV
easily
I’ve seen so much
I’m going blind
And I’m braindead virtually
Sociability
It’s hard enough for me
Take me away from this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again
So give me Coffee and TV
easily
I’ve seen so much
I’m going blind
And I’m brain dead virtually
Sociability
It’s hard enough for me
Take me away from this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again
Oh…we could start over again
Oh…we could start over again
Oh…we could start over again
Oh…we could start over again
“Song 2”
WOOHOO!
WOOHOO!
WOOHOO!
WOOHOO!
I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn’t easy
But nothing is,
No
WOOHOO!
When I feel heavy metal WOOHOO!
And I’m pins and I’m needles WOOHOO!
Well I lie and I’m easy
All of the time but I’m never sure why I need you
Pleased to meet you!
I got my head done
When I was young
It’s not my problem
It’s not my problem
WOOHOO!
When I feel heavy metal WOOHOO!
And I’m pins and I’m needles WOOHOO!
Well I lie and I’m easy
All of the time but I’m never sure why I need you
Pleased to meet you!
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
“Out of Time”
Where’s the love song to set us free
Too many people down, everything turning the wrong way round
And I don’t know what love will be
But if we stop dreaming now, lord knows we’ll never clear the clouds
And you’ve been so busy lately
That you haven’t found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time
Feel the sunshine on your face
It’s in a computer now
Gone to the future, way out in space
And you’ve been so busy lately
That you haven’t found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time
And you’ve been so busy lately
That you haven’t found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time
Tell me I’m not dreaming
But are we out of time
(we’re) out of time (x4)
“Tender”
Tender is the night
Lying by your side
Tender is the touch
Of someone that you love too much
Tender is the day
The demons go away
Lord I need to find
Someone who can heal my mind
Come on, Come on, Come on
Get through it
Come on, Come on, Come on
Love’s the greatest thing
Come on, Come on, Come on
Get through it
Come on, Come on, Come on
Love’s the greatest thing
That we have
I’m waiting for that feeling
Waiting for that feeling
Waiting for that feeling to come
Oh my baby
Oh my baby
Oh why
Oh my
Tender is the ghost
The ghost I love the most
Hiding from the sun
Waiting for the night to come
Tender is my heart
I’m screwing up my life
Lord I need to find
Someone who can heal my mind
Come on, Come on, Come on
Get through it
Come on, Come on, Come on
Love’s the greatest thing
Come on, Come on, Come on
Get through it
Come on, Come on, Come on
Love’s the greatest thing
That we have
I’m waiting for that feeling
Waiting for that feeling
Waiting for that feeling to come
Oh my baby
Oh my baby
Oh why
Oh my
Come on, Come on, Come on
Get through it
Come on, Come on, Come on
Love’s the greatest thing
Come on, Come on, Come on
Get through it
Come on, Come on, Come on
Love’s the greatest thing
That we have
I’m waiting for that feeling
Waiting for that feeling
Waiting for that feeling to come
Oh my baby
Oh my baby
Oh why
Oh my

“No Distance Left To Run”
It’s over
You don’t need to tell me
I hope you’re with someone who makes you
feel safe in your sleep
and tonight
I won’t kill myself, trying to stay in your life
I got no distance left to run
When you see me
Please turn your back and walk away
I don’t want to see you
‘Cause I know the dreams that you keep
That’s where we meet
When your coming down, think of me here
I got no distance left to run
It’s over, I knew it would end this way
I hope you’re with someone who makes you feel
That this life is a life
One who settles down, stays around
Spends more time with you
I got no distance left to run
I’m coming home
It’s over
Come on home
No more
