Blur The Special Collectors Edition Lyrics
1.Day Upon Day

Waiting on this empty day
It's just the same as any day
And although I've nothing to say
I'm going to say it anyway

Day, day upon day, day upon day
Day upon day

Everybodies here with me
We're in the smallest room you see
And although we've nothing to do
We've got to do it adieu adieu

Day, day upon day, day upon
Day upon day


2.Inertia

Fear of being left behind
Can take you over
Suddenly you will choke
Maybe it's just a joke
I'm not sure of you

I can't hear you now
There's to much that's going around
You seem a worried fool
So I don't think I'm cool
Makes me me insure
Of you

Fear of being left alone
Can take you over
Slowly you will choke
And say it's just a joke
I'm not sure
Of you


3.Luminous

Don't look at me as
Your only regret what you don't see
You know more than I
So think for me
Think what your not

Ah ah ah ah

Love substitute for the
Never knew who you were
Half your life has been explained
You want the oher half

Ah ah ah ah

Don't look at me as though I'm not here
Your only regret what you don't see
Half my life has been explained


4.Mace

Pedaling on a bicycle
I'm on my way to make a call
I've tried to touch you
Through the double glazing
But the curtains were drawn & the family out the away

You used to know but now you don't (X 3)
No one can see when they've got mist in their eyes

They're papering the wall and the windows
No logic here in or out
The heatings on and I'm feeling drowsy
I fall asleep and dream of burning down the house

You used to know but now you don't (X 3)
No one can see when they've got mist in their eyes

I'm pedaling on my bicycle
I'm on my way to make a call
The sun is out and I'm feeling drowsy
I fall asleep and dream of burning down the house

You used to know but now you don't (X 6)
No one can see when they've got mist in the eyes


5.Badgeman Brown

This is the voice of someone
Calling from a lonely hill
To the hard of hearing
For those who never will

A long legged someone
Seen walking away from home
Look a vacant dreamer
Walking alone alone

Ways that turn and turn
Which is what we'd learn
As suffering believers
In the book of badgeman brown

They've dropping like flies
In a suburban house
From a lack of anything
Anything to keep their hands in

And the town keeps screaming
From a lonely hill
Another lack of people
Those who never will

Ways that turn and turn
Which I what we'd learn
As suffering believers
In the book of badgeman brown

This is the voice of someone
Calling from a lonely hill
for the heard of hearing
For those who never will

The days will turn and turn
Which is what we'd learn
As average believers
In the book of badgeman brown


6.Hanging over

I'm alive and I can breath the air
I can hurt you
I can float up here
so soft and tingling
You can't catch me
I'm floating away

I woke up
And went down next door
I'm getting up with nothing on my mind
I went down the stairs
With a pain in my head
I should have never got out of bed

Then everything shattered
Just at the point that mattered (X 2)
Aha

I'm alive I can breath the air
I can hurt you
I can fall down there
Right into you your mind
Don't put it around
You can't catch me
& carried away

I woke up I, woke up every day
There's nothing, nothing to say
Half way down the stairs
I feel a pain in my chest
I should never have got out of bed

Then everything shattered
Just at the point that it mattered (X 2)
Aha

I'm alive, I'm can breath the air
I can hurt you
Half way down the stairs
I get a pain in my chest
I should never got out of bed

I should never ever ever
I should never...


7.Peach

Chemical waste
Best part of the beach
You're always the way you are
What of that going to close you in
You got a gaping hole in your head
I'd let the birds nest there instead
Aha aha aha aha

A gun in your pocket
& hair in a locket
Around you neck
From the girl you once loved
Where's she now, you've gone crazed
You've got a gaping hole in your head
I'd let the birds nest there instead
Aha aha aha aha

You've got a gaping hold in your head
I'd let the birds nest there instead (X 4)
Aha aha aha aha


8.When The Cows Come Home

Good morning
Wake up

Wake up with purpose and polite efficiency
Stuff vitamin pills down your half guarantee
A kiss and cuddle with a lucky girl
You get fed and watered
Makes your hair curl

And when the day draws in
You put on a record
Put on something gentle
And wait for the cows to come home

Wake up a little voice says
Do you eagerly
You mustn't let yourself sink financally
Don't listen to the accusation that you're tight
You could be the first man on your street to get it right

And when the day draws in
You going to go into waltz time
For once it was good time
Wait for the cows to come home

Ha da de da da
Ha da de da da
Ha da de da da
Ha da de da da da

Wake up in porpuse and polite efficiency
So you get fed and watered with good company
And when the day draws in
You go into waltz time
Wait for the cows to come home
All your life


9.Maggie May

Wake up Maggie
I think I've got something to say toyou
It's late September
And I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused
But I feel I'm being used
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore

You led me away from hme
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and
That's what really hurts

All I needed was a friend of lend a guiding hand
It's learning to a lover and
Mother what a lover and you wore me out
All you do is wreck my bed
And in the morning kickme in the head
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore

You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart
I couldn't leave if I tried

I suppose I could collect my books and go back to school
I'll steal my dad's cue
And make a iving out of playing pool
I'll find myself a rock n roll band
That needs a helping hand
Oh, Maggie,I wish I'd never seen you face

You made a first class fool of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart
But I love you anyway


10.Es Schmecht

Looking out for N?
Conversation, daily routine
It's beautiful, but neurotic
& in the future it will be the same

Looking out for N?
Conversation, daily routine
It's beautiful, but hypnotic
In the future it will be the same

The same...the same...
In the future it will be the same


11.Fried

Oh you are so very strange
Sometimes I think you've gone insane
Twisted hearts you've gone insane
In this giddy world
Couldn't you begin to go
Where odd lines we hardly know
Couldn't you put in a goal
Just for me

Did I say I want to know
Talking about a goal
Would you please leave me alone
Can't you see I want to be on my own

Oh, I would like to give you your head
Just to see if you are dead
Oh, I'd like to get into that pretty head
And it would amuse me just to see
How you feel about me
How you feel about always getting fried

Did I say I want to know
We're talking about a goal
Would you please leave alone
Can't you see I want to be on my own
Can't you see I want to be on my own

Oh,I'm going to fly (X 3)


12.Anniversary Waltz

(Instrumental)


13.Threadneedle Street

The time has come
Not to be cautious
You must be careful no to make mistakes
For every heart flower
In twenty four

An operation froze
Faster than they did yesterday
And the landing right on your side
They won't be much of a problem

Then passed smith
There is a rise
When everybodies asleep at home
He becomes nervous
And sees a change
Today in future

Oh la la oh la la oh la la
Watch the markets move from the screen
In a pocket in a grey flannel suit
Re tomorrow's cash today
And check your pulse

Waste metals crawling to the kerb
And softs dropped in a summer term
Sugars melted in the mouth
Of a broken home
If we knew a better option

She sleeps for while
And it could be long time before he thinks again
And then he looks at the papers and looks again
Today futures

Oh la la oh la la oh la la oh la la

Today futures
Futures futures futures (repeat the fade)


14.Got Yer!

Okay coming up man
you sad old
He's got a fly between his ears
It catches life
And buzzes in my head

It's a long time, isn't it
Fumes of life

people are bleeding loose in here
Got yer!

17.Theme From An Imaginary Film

What if I told you I love you
What if I called you in rhythm
In this world there's nothing left
Well nothing that's new

What if I told you without
Loving is simply a lie
Although she moves into the night
Oh, tell me you're mine
Please say it's true

Oh, shame it's over
I was the light and the days of them all
Well push me over
I'm flat on my back but I'm having a ball
And just look whose laughing

What if I flew like a dove dear
What if I would you in rhythm
There's nothing left
Nothing that's good left for me now

Oh,I'll just go and sleep with strangers
I'll live like a lord in a tower
Cos in the city there's too mich air
That I can't dream at night
Well not anymore

Oh, shame it's over
It been such fun and we had a ball
Well push me over
But I'll be the last people to fall
Well just look whose laughing

Oh shame it's over
How like a cow bloated on grass
Well, push me over
Me on my back and you on your arse
Such a shame it's all over
There are so feel days left to grasp
So push me over
We on our back and you on your lazy arse
Well just look whose laughing


18.Bank Holiday

Grandma has got new dentures
To eat the crust of pizza
Bee taken out by daughter
Because she thought she ought'a
The kids are eating snickers
Because they're so delicious
Then there's sticky fingers
And mother looses her knickers

(Chorus)
Bank holiday comes six times a year
Days of enjoyment to which everyone cheers
Bank holiday comes with six pack a beer
...Then it's back to work A.G.A.I.N.

Bar-b-que is cooking
Sausages and chicken
The patio is Buzzing
The neighbours they are looking
John is down the fun pub
Drinking lots of larger
Girls and boys are on the game
All the high streets look the same

(Chorus)

Back to work A.G.A.I.N.

(chorus)

Bank holiday
