Blur Lyrics
I got a brain in left-hand drive
I don't asleep other side
I ride a bullet like I'm Steve McQueen
Each town I intervene
A gram of kief and the barn is jumping
It's all right, we got time
Got a radio hit in mind
Can't see am I blind
Every night and day (I'll never forget)
Got to know you gene by gene
You're my jellybean
Get out the shower
And I'm Force 15
I'm dead I'm clean
Fatboy and the barn is jumping
It's alright it's just tight
Got to get into a better business
Deep down happiness
Every night and day (I'll never forget)
In the U.S.A I delete myself
I delete myself
I delete myself
I delete myself
I delete myself
I delete myself
I delete myself
I delete myself
I delete myself

Blur is an alternative rock band which formed in Colchester, England in 1989. The band consists of Damon Albarn (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Graham Coxon (guitar, vocals), Alex James (bass) and Dave Rowntree (drums). Blur's debut album Leisure (1991) incorporated the sounds of Madchester and Shoegazing and spawned their first UK Top 10 single, There's No Other Way. Following a stylistic change in 1992 (influenced by English guitar groups such as The Kinks Read Full BioBlur is an alternative rock band which formed in Colchester, England in 1989. The band consists of Damon Albarn (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Graham Coxon (guitar, vocals), Alex James (bass) and Dave Rowntree (drums). Blur's debut album Leisure (1991) incorporated the sounds of Madchester and Shoegazing and spawned their first UK Top 10 single, There's No Other Way. Following a stylistic change in 1992 (influenced by English guitar groups such as The Kinks, The Beatles, The Animals and XTC) Blur released "Popscene" as a stand alone single, this was a commercial flop, but was widely considered to be a crucial turning point for the band's style. Following this, Blur released 3 studio albums in a similar style: Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993), Parklife (1994) and The Great Escape (1995). As a result, the band helped to popularise the Britpop genre and achieved mass popularity in the UK, aided by a famous chart battle with rival band Oasis dubbed "The Battle of Britpop".
By the late 1990s, with the release of Blur (1997), the band underwent another reinvention, influenced by the lo-fi style of American indie rock bands such as Pavement; in the process, Blur finally gained mainstream success in the US with the single, "Song 2". The last album featuring the band's original lineup, 13 (1999) found Blur experimenting with electronic music and gospel music, as Albarn wrote more personal lyrics. In May 2002, Coxon left Blur during the recording of their seventh album Think Tank (2003). Containing electronic sounds and simpler guitar playing, the album was marked by Albarn's growing interest in hip-hop and African music.
In December 2008, Blur announced that they would be reforming for the first time since their hiatus in 2003, complete with Graham Coxon, for a UK Tour in 2009. Blur headlined the Oxegen Festival in Ireland, Glastonbury and the T in the Park Festival in the UK, as well as Dates in London, Manchester, Newcastle, Southend and Wolverhampton. The band continues to be sporadically active, releasing the single "Fool's Day" and the documentary "No Distance Left to Run" in 2010, and performing several concerts in 2012. Two new songs, "Under the Westway" and "The Puritan", were released in 2012 leading up to a post-Olympics concert which also features New Order, The Specials and Bombay Bicycle Club. In 2015, Blur released The Magic Whip.
they're amazing.

I knew it immediately. Out of Time and Sweet Song and Ambulance were instant classics to me. I had a Rolling Stone subscription at the time it was released, and I read all the Rolling Stone reviews back then. Think Tank was the “featured” review, and it was one of the most glowing reviews imaginable, so I bought the CD soon after. I probably bought it within a week of its release and probably listened to Out of Time more than 100 times in that first week. Caravan, Sweet Song, On The Way To The Club, ———— every song was amazing. I’m lucky to recognize great song fairly quickly.
Great songs in the past couple years are:
Jay Som: Tenderness
Big Thief: Shark Smile
Conor Oberst: Gossamer Thin
Soccer Mommy: Your Dog
Bachelor: Anything At All
Jessy Lanza: Never Enough
KERO KERO Bonito: Time Today

I find most of Blur’s music bores me these days. This album has the most innovation of any of them.
P G
that squeaking rusty wheel sound just cracks me up every time -- it's a beautiful song, don't get me wrong, but there's also a sense of humor to it
