Star Shaped
Blur Lyrics
Wash with new soap, behind the collar
Keeps a clean mental state
Don't usually bother, in cold weather
But, still, I'm getting into work late
And I don't need the practice
I've been making plans (for the future)
Become an unconscious man (all for the good)
I feel so unnecessary
Have a couple at the weekend
Keeps up camaraderie
And my mind boggles in the middle
At the possibilities
And I don't need the practice
I've been making plans (for the future)
Become an unconscious man (all for the good)
I feel so unnecessary
(We don't think so, you seem star shaped)
And I've been making plans (for the future)
Become an unconscious man (all for the good)
I feel so unnecessary
(We don't think so, you seem star shaped)
I wash with new soap, behind the collar
Helps keep down the laundry
And, now I bother in cold weather
Because it cleans me mentally
And I really don't need the practice
I've been making plans (for the future)
Become an unconscious man (all for the good)
I feel so unnecessary
(We don't think so, you seem star shaped)
I've been making plans (for the future)
Become an unconscious man (all for the good)
I feel so unnecessary
(We don't think so, you seem star shaped)

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.

Wash 🧼 with new soap 🧼 behind the collar
Keeps a clean 🧽 mental state
Don’t usually bother, in cold 🥶 weather
But, still, I’m getting into work late
And I don’t need the practice
I’ve been making plans (for the future)
Become an unconscious man 👨 (all for the good)
I feel so unnecessary

Esteban Tate
@Lennox Hunter I watch on FlixZone. You can find it on google :)
Lennox Hunter
I guess it's pretty randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to watch new movies online ?
Firzen
This song is so energetic I swear.
Big Slappy
As energetic as a song about a working man slowly and painfully trying to move up the corporate ladder can be, at least.
justaguylearningmusic
One of the few songs that gets me happy no matter how miserable I feel

WHY THE HELL did they not release half of the album as singles? Besides "For Tomorrow" and "Chemical World", the singles should also be "Star Shaped", "Coping", "Villa Rosie" and "Advert". And "Sunday Sunday" shouldn't. Imagine how much bigger promotion it would have if they had realized the potential standing behind these tunes.
