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)

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?

Cover art for Country Sad Ballad Man lyrics by Blur

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.

Song Meaning

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...

My Interpretation

'223'-- the number 23 pops up often in Jamie Hewlett's artwork for Gorillaz, Damon Albarn's future project.
