Blur - Sticks And Stones

Chaos on a Friday
I tip-tow by
No need to get excited
I step outside
Smooth exterior
Mess inside
Fight the inferior
Across city lines

It's written over my face
No sleep zone
Open up my suitcase
Sticks and stones

Iron filings
Breathe 'em right in
Catch my breath
Air too thin
Floating in the darkness (floating in the darkness)
Talking to the ghosts (talking to the ghosts)
The ones that want you dead (the ones that want you dead)
Are the ones you love the most

It's written over my face
No sleep zone
Open up my suitcase
Sticks and stones
Sticks and stones
Breaking bones

Why do I want to be released
You're the past, not the future

It's written over my face
No sleep zone
Open up my suitcase
Sticks and stones

Blur - The Heights

Suppose I'm on my own tonight
Suppose I've got to find the heights
I gave a lot of heart, so did you
Standing in the back row, this one is for you

Seeing through the coma in our lives
Something so bright out there, you can't even see it
Are we running out of time?
Something so momentary that you can't even feel it

I'll see you in the heights one day
I'll get there too
I'll be standing in the front row
Next to you

Seeing through the coma in our lives
Something so bright out there, you can't even see it
Are we running out of time?
Something so momentary that you can only be it?
So momentary

Blur - The Rabbi

On the last message you sent to me
You seem confused to get an offering
At the events that brought us to this juncture
'Cause where's the joy in this self-delusion?
We're all practitioners of vague illusions
Hieroglyphics and pictures

Careering round blind bends at high speed
The loneliness of the long-distance driver

I was lost (I was lost)
Lost (I was lost)
Then you saved me

Now who's gonna be tomorrow's heroes?
While the system grinds
To an unseemly halt
Apologize to the streets and the rivers
The port is out in the 1980s
There's no going back now
The message degraded
And the storms evaded

Careering round blind bends at high speed
The loneliness of the broken-hearted

I was lost (I was lost)
Lost (I was lost)
Then you saved me
Lost (I was lost)
(I was lost)
I was lost (I was lost)
Then you saved me
Lost (I was lost)
(I was lost)
I was lost (I was lost)
Then you saved me

Blur - Barbaric

Ah, who blinks first
You're gonna win
The fallen doves of lovers' vows
In the world all around us
And I'd like, if you've got the time
To talk to you about
What this breakup has done to me

I have lost the feeling that I thought I'd never lose
Now where am I going?
At what cost the feeling that I thought I'd never lose?
It is barbaric

Ah, you can't play to every taste
The powder keg of common cause
All of us carry trauma
And in lieu of an explanation
I will pour oil from the cup
On the pyre of abdication

You have lost the feeling that you thought you'd never lose
Now where are you going, darling?
At what cost the feeling that you thought you'd never lose?
And it is barbaric

Empty grove, winter darkness
We're taking down the scaffolds very soon
Crow dappled the lonely baubles on the plane tree
The can of soup and heating up to ten
Which leads me to the part
Where we agreed on different dreams

And that we'd lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose
Now where are we going?
At what cost the feelings that we thought we'd never lose?
It is barbaric

We have lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose
Now where are we going?
We have lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose
It is barbaric, darling

We have lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose
Now where are we going?
We have lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose
It is barbaric

Blur - The Narcissist

Looked in the mirror
So many people standing there
I walked towards them into the floodlights

I heard no echo
There was distortion everywhere
I found my ego
I felt rubato standing there

Found my transcendent
It played in mono painted blue
You were the pirot
I was the dark room

I’m going to shine a light in your eyes
You’ll probably shine it back on me
But I won’t fall this time
With godspeed I’ll heed the signs

I saw the solstice
The service station on the road
I took the acid
Under the white horses
My heart it quickened
I could not tear myself away
Became addiction
If you see darkness look away

I’m going to shine a light in your eyes
You will probably shine it back on me
But I won’t fall this time
With godspeed I’ll heed the signs

Oh glorious world
Oh potent waves valleys gone wild
Connect us to love and keep us peaceful for a while
I’m going to shine a light in your eyes
You will probably shine it back on me
But I won’t fall this time
With godspeed I’ll heed the signs
I’m a shine a light in your eyes
You probably shine it back it back on me
But I won’t fall this time with godspeed I’ll heed the signs
But I won’t fall this time with godspeed I’ll heed the signs
