Blur

Blur are an English alternative rock band. Formed in London in 1988 as Seymour, the group consists of singer/keyboardist Damon Albarn, guitarist/singer Graham Coxon, bassist Alex James and drummer Dave Rowntree. Blur's debut album Leisure (1991) incorporated the sounds of Madchester and shoegazing. Following a stylistic change influenced by English guitar pop groups such as The Kinks, The Beatles and XTC, Blur released 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 chart battle with rival band Oasis in 1995 dubbed "The Battle of Britpop". more »

Don't start me talking, I could talk all night
My mind goes sleepwalking while I'm putting the world to rights
Called careers information, have you got yourself an occupation?

Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army is on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else but here today

There was a checkpoint Charlie, he didn't crack a smile
But it's no laughing party when you've been on the murder mile
Only takes one itchy trigger
One more widow, one less white n*gger

Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army is on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else but here today

Hong Kong is up for grabs, London is full of Arabs
You could be in Palestine, overrun by the Chinese line
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne

But there's no danger, it's a professional career
Though it could be arranged with just a word in Mr Churchill's ear
If you're out of luck and out of work
We could send you to Johannesburg

Oliver's army is here to stay
Oliver's army is on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else but here today
