Just fantastic, all the way to the end...

Great song, great band.
I never realised Damon didn’t sing that one

Think Damon sings backing vocals on the studio version.
Great track.

My humanity
Curfews have been curbing
The end of liberty
We're the flowers in the dustbin...

Yeah, it's a real grower. Deceptively clever songwriting by Graham Coxon.

Wholeheartedly agree. Not the biggest Blur fan but this song is the dog's.

If you haven't watched this recently, do so. It's still one of the trippiest videos that ever reached the mainstream. It's somehow both random seeming and cohesive.

It's a lip-synch but a great video. Always puts a spring in my step this one...

It was like something from another planet at the time, both the song and video. Still stands up.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑01 Aug 2019, 4:29pm

One of my older sisters had the 45 of this, so it was one of the first rock n roll records I ever heard. The version in your video is different than the version I grew up with (but has extra foxiness). This is the one I know:
