As is the genius of the two Johns, all of their songs are deep enough to see it just about any way you like. But to a casual listener the tragedy lies in them just passing the songs off as crazy lyrics for crazy sake. A problem found in a lot of things post modern. |

| Blur – Song 2 Lyrics

Sorry everyone. It was fun reading your responses. This song is actually Blur's way of commenting on what gets accepted in American radio/pop culture. The went out to prove a point that no matter what lyrics you put to a song, as long as it has a catchy rhythm, the mindless public will just eat it up. They are saddened by what is being accepted as "great" music. So they made this song with the most ridiculous lyrics ever made, gave it a booming guitar riff, and sent it out. They even casually named it "song 2". True to their suspicions, it caught on. "... I got my head checked. By a jumbo jet. It wasn't easy. But nothing is. WooHOO!" Even after we found out what they were up to we STILL embraced it. I love this song so much as a testament to what truly "great" music is. |
