Country Sad Ballad Man Lyrics
Yeah I found nowhere
It got to know me
Let me sleep all day
Spent the money
I haven't felt my legs
Since the summer
And I don't call my friends
Forgot the numbers
(Chorus)
VIP 223
Have my chances
They have me
Now stay up nights
Watch TV
I'm a country sad
I'm a ballad man
I'm on a come back roll
Yeah I'm a bizzard
And in my motor home
Sweat on my pillow all night
(repeat chorus)
It got to know me
Let me sleep all day
Spent the money
I haven't felt my legs
Since the summer
And I don't call my friends
Forgot the numbers
VIP 223
Have my chances
They have me
Now stay up nights
Watch TV
I'm a country sad
I'm a ballad man
Yeah I'm a bizzard
And in my motor home
Sweat on my pillow all night

Yes....
Anyway, I think this song is about a depressed superstar- that may go by the name of damon or graham...
Can anyone explain what "VIP 223" refers to?
I think "VIP 223" refers to a 1972 Farfisa VIP 223 Keyboard Organ. I'm not sure waht connection that has to the song, but maybe the keyboard player used one.
For me, this song seems to be Damon's best attempt at wrapping his head around the redneck lifestyle and trying to figure out what draws such people to the sad counrty ballad genre of music...
'223'-- the number 23 pops up often in Jamie Hewlett's artwork for Gorillaz, Damon Albarn's future project.

@Super7am Any body get what Damon says in the video (Blur - Country Sad Ballad Man (Meltdown Festival 2000)) it's like: "this song is about ??? .... sixties people, could be about so many people this is about the generation that put us in the state we are all in, you know"
