Blur's self-titled fifth album (1997) saw another stylistic shift, influenced by the lo-fi styles of American indie rock groups, and became their third UK chart-topping album. Its single "Song 2" brought the band mainstream success in the US for the first time. Their next album, 13 (1999) saw the band experimenting with electronic and gospel music, and featured more personal lyrics from Albarn. Their seventh album, Think Tank (2003), continued their experimentation with electronic sounds and was also shaped by Albarn's growing interest in hip hop and world music, featuring more minimal guitar work. Coxon left the band during early recording sessions for Think Tank, and Blur disbanded for several years after the end of the album's associated tour, with the members engaged in other projects.
In 2009, Blur reunited with Coxon back in the band and embarked on a European reunion tour. In the following years, they released several singles and compilations and toured internationally. In 2012, they received a Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. Their eighth album, The Magic Whip (2015), was the sixth consecutive Blur studio album to top the British chart. The group have largely been on hiatus since the Magic Whip tour, but have announced plans to reunite in 2023 for various live dates.

She's so high

I want to crawl all over her
She's so high

I want to crawl all over her

The lyrics to Blur's song "She's So High" are centered around a narrator who is infatuated with a girl who seems unattainable. He sees her face every day and thinks of her constantly, but it doesn't help him because she's "so high". The repetition of the line "It doesn't help me" emphasizes his frustration and hopelessness in the situation.
The chorus, where the singer proclaims that he wants to "crawl all over her," is both a physical desire and a metaphor for wanting to be close to her or have a connection with her. The repetition of "She's so high" could refer to either her physical height or her perceived status or social standing, which makes her seem out of his reach.
Overall, the song captures the feeling of being enamored with someone who seems unattainable and the frustration that can come from those feelings.

personal taste
Blur are much more just a bunch of brilliant lads
Suede and The Boo Radleys are interesting; but much more vocally polished and a whole lot less avant garde
doesn't make them "better" in my opinion;
My preference between the three would def be Blur; hands down.
Blur reaches deep into my soul slaps all the pretentious crusties from my eyes and reminds me of why I am compelled to be a musician.
The two bands you've introduced me to don't do that for me; they're just interesting.
