I Got Law
Blur Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling daft beyond gone bland
Made it to the goal on lense
President, he just got hair down below
Tomorrow never more...
Made it to the BCP
Everybody knows it's me
I got up another sand,
The guilty cell
Tomorrow never more...

I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law
I got the law

Feeling Dove beyond con-pen
Nobody can take it there
Feel it now and do yourself until you're gone




Tomorrow never more...
Tomorrow never more...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blur's song "I Got Law" are obscure and nonsensical, leaving the listener to decipher their meaning. The song seems to describe a state of mind that is beyond reason and rationality. The opening line "Feeling daft beyond gone bland" suggests a sense of foolishness, of being out of touch with reality. The next line, "Made it to the goal on lense" could imply a sense of achievement, but also may be referring to a distorted view of reality, as if looking through a lens or filter. The line "President, he just got hair down below" seems to come out of left field, adding to the overall nonsensical quality of the lyrics. The repeated refrain of "I got the law" may suggest a sense of power or control, but again, the meaning is unclear.


The lines "Made it to the BCP" and "Everybody knows it's me" could suggest that the singer has achieved some sort of notoriety, but the context is unclear. The lyrics "The guilty cell" may imply a sense of guilt or wrongdoing, but once again, there is no context or explanation provided. The final lines of the song, "Feeling Dove beyond con-pen / Nobody can take it there / Feel it now and do yourself until you're gone / Tomorrow never more..." continue the sense of confusion and ambiguity, leaving the listener with more questions than answers.


Overall, the lyrics of "I Got Law" are intentionally surreal and obscure, creating a sense of disorientation and adding to the overall mood of the song.
