    About Blur:
    Blur were formed in 1989 by Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree and signed with Food/EMI the same year. Announcing their arrival with debut album Leisure in 1991, Blur continued to revolutionise the sound of English popular music with second release Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993). Five successive UK #1 albums followed - with Parklife (1994) and The Great Escape (1995) helping to propel the band to mass popularity in the UK and beyond. The eponymous Blur was released in 1997 and seventh album Think Tank (2003) was Blur’s first as a three-piece after the temporary departure of founding guitarist Graham Coxon.
    Twenty one years after the release of their debut album, 2012 saw Blur 21: The Box, the band's body of work compiled and gathered together into one box. Their most recent release as a four-piece, the critically acclaimed chart-topping album The Magic Whip (2015), started life in Hong Kong when the band had an unexpected break in touring in May 2013.

    Lead in me and be in water
    Dangling in my world
    I swallowed too much oily water
    Now it's slipping down my spine
    In a sense of self in decline
    Growing fat on sound
    It's only an early morning dream
    And the whole world will be alright
    My head hurts with suspicion
    I'm coming home sometime
    I've swallowed too much oily water
    It slipping down my spine
    A sense of self, in decline
    I'm lying on my back
    It's only an early morning dream
    And the whole world will be alright

    This is one of those Blur songs that hits you a bit more in your 30s if you listen to the lyrics and get what "oily water" they're referencing.
    The chorus (if want to call it that) and eventual outro is basically the sounds your head feels on a heavy night out.
