Blur – There's No Other Way Lyrics 18 years ago
Always thought this felt like it was based on See Emily Play by Pink Floyd.

Blur – Threadneedle Street Lyrics 18 years ago
again this has been incorrectly copied from the japanese CD booklet... it should be:

The time has come not to be cautious
You must be careful no to make mistakes
For every half hour in twenty four -

And operations froze faster than they did yesterday
And the landing rate's on your side so there won't be much of a problem

Then past midnight there is a rise
When everybody's asleep at home
He becomes nervous and sees a change
Today in futures

Watch the markets move from the screen
In a pocket in a grey flannel suit
Read tomorrow's crash today and check your pulse

Base metals crawling to the kerb
And softs dropped in their summer term
Sugar melted in the mouth of a rudegirl
Who knew a better option

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

I think it's about a stockbroker who's watching a financial disaster about to happen on his computer and can't do anything about it.

Blur – Let's All Go Down the Strand Lyrics 18 years ago
This is a traditional British song, so I guess the intended meaning of Blur performing it was to emphasise their Britishness.
