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 »

(Oi)
(I wish you'd just shut up)
(I wish you'd just shut up)

Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur 
Of what is known as
(Parklife)
And morning soup can be avoided 
If you take a route straight through what is known as
(Parklife)

John's got brewer's droop 
He gets intimidated by the dirty pigeons
They love a bit of him
(Parklife)
Who's that gut lord marching
You should cut down on your pork life mate
Get some exercise

All the people
So many people
And they all go hand-in-hand
Hand-in-hand through their parklife
Know what I mean?

I get up when I want 
Except on Wednesdays 
When I get rudely awakened by the dustmen
(Parklife)
I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea 
And I think about leaving the house
(Parklife)

I feed the pigeons, I sometimes feed the sparrows too
It gives me a sense of enormous well-being
(Parklife)
And then I'm happy for the rest of the day 
Safe in the knowledge there will always be 
A bit of my heart devoted to it

All the people
So many people
And they all go hand-in-hand
Hand-in-hand through their parklife

Parklife
(Parklife)
Parklife
(Parklife)

It's got nothing to do with Vorsprung durch Technik, you know?
(Parklife)
(Parklife) and it's not about you joggers 
Who go round and round and round 
(Parklife)
(Parklife)

All the people
So many people
And they all go hand-in-hand
Hand-in-hand through their parklife

All the people
So many people
And they all go hand-in-hand
Hand-in-hand through their parklife
