Lyrics: A morbid fascination With all things in extreme Municipal thought Has fathered dull it seems It's early in the morning I've given up on sleep I'm in need of attention But all I hear is my heart beat CHORUS: What a shame What a shame What a terrible shame A terminal standard Has left us the same "I need someone who's here," she said "You're never here" Staying one step ahead her The inner city fauna That grows around my feet I've never really noticed it Convergence is complete I'm in perpetual fear Of being swallowed whole Then pushed up in the suburbs In the stomach of a whale A beached whale REPEAT CHORUS Staying one step ahead Domestic desperation Begin to stir at me I bought it for displaying But respectability Afflictions (pictures? reflections?) of the present Are afflictions of the past They put me in a room And watch me behind the plate glass REPEAT CHORUS (x2)
It probably also needs a proper re-recording, because unless the compilers of Blur 21 had no respect for audio quality, this song sounds like it wasn't actually recorded with the proper studio equipment because the band didn't know whether it would be good enough to continue with.

Lyrics:
A morbid fascination
With all things in extreme
Municipal thought
Has fathered dull it seems
It's early in the morning
I've given up on sleep
I'm in need of attention
But all I hear is my heart beat
CHORUS:
What a shame
What a shame
What a terrible shame
A terminal standard
Has left us the same
"I need someone who's here," she said
"You're never here"
Staying one step ahead her
The inner city fauna
That grows around my feet
I've never really noticed it
Convergence is complete
I'm in perpetual fear
Of being swallowed whole
Then pushed up in the suburbs
In the stomach of a whale
A beached whale
REPEAT CHORUS
Staying one step ahead
Domestic desperation
Begin to stir at me
I bought it for displaying
But respectability
Afflictions (pictures? reflections?) of the present
Are afflictions of the past
They put me in a room
And watch me behind the plate glass
REPEAT CHORUS (x2)
If only this was mixed/mastered a bit better, it would stand alongside Modern Life is Rubbish's other great b-sides.
It probably also needs a proper re-recording, because unless the compilers of Blur 21 had no respect for audio quality, this song sounds like it wasn't actually recorded with the proper studio equipment because the band didn't know whether it would be good enough to continue with.

not really
2 things.
first thing, no.... it doesnt? what?
second thing. Damon Alburn singer of Blue is the singer for gorillaz.....
@@dark12794 believe me i hate when people compare blur songs with gorillaz but this one from 0:00 to 0:04 really sounds like it
@@dark12794 The singer of blur.
I wonder what instrument is being played at the beginning of the song.
Super english.
NEED THE CHORDS 😭😭
I need the lyrics
I got you dude
A morbid fascination
With all things in extreme
Municipal thought
Has fathered dull it seems
It's early in the morning
I've given up on sleep
I'm in need of attention
But all I hear is my heart beat

What a shame
What a terrible shame
