They stumbled into their lives
In a vague way became man and wife
One got the other they deserved one another
They settled in a brand new town
With people from the same background
Kept themselves busy
Long hours left them dizzy
Now when he's in, she's out
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
They are not making plans
Because now they understand
All you ever do is fade away
He noticed he had visible lines
She worried about her behind
Their birth had been the death of them
It didn't really bother them
Now when she's in, he's out
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
She's not making plans
Because now she understand
All you ever do is fade away
When he's in, she's out
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
They're not making plans
Because now they understand
You must learn to forget
Cause this is all you have
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
They're not making plans
Because now they understand
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
In a vague way became man and wife
One got the other they deserved one another
They settled in a brand new town
With people from the same background
Kept themselves busy
Long hours left them dizzy
Now when he's in, she's out
All you ever do is fade away
They are not making plans
Because now they understand
All you ever do is fade away
She worried about her behind
Their birth had been the death of them
It didn't really bother them
Now when she's in, he's out
All you ever do is fade away
She's not making plans
Because now she understand
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
They're not making plans
Because now they understand
You must learn to forget
Cause this is all you have
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
Because now they understand
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away

Not only are they not really concerned about their family life, they're not really concerned about the rest of their lives, content to work long hours, worry about their appearance, blend in, and not do anything of note.
No comments? This is a great Blur song! The horns are very cool.

I think it is about a family(man & wife) that just started their life as a couple, but none of them is interested on really planning how their family life should be, and instead they are much focused than their mostly selfish interests(his face having some lines, her butt falling-their getting older)
anyway, the horns are really good!ska-ish.
This is a very clear lyric to me. It's about a married couple who live together but completely separate lives. He's got his friends and interests and she's got hers. They got married because that was the expected pattern of things but they do nothing together and essentially co-habit.
Now when one's in, the other's out. "I have darts Monday, you're at the karoake bar Tuesday, Wednesday's at Terry's for a games night, you see the girls on Thursdays..." and so on.
