Jubilee slouches in the settee
He losing all will to move
He gone divy too much telly
He watching 24 hours of rubbish
He got butane he got plastic bags
His eyes are going square oh yeah
He no raver just anti social
He no going to cut his hair
He dresses incorrectly... no-one told him seventeen, he not mean enough
He dresses incorrectly... no-one told him seventeen, not keen on being like anyone else
Jubilee's dad billy banker
He thinks his son is a slob
He should get out more stop scabbing
He really should go and get a job
He dresses incorrectly... no-one told him seventeen he not mean enough
He dresses incorrectly... no-one told him where to go but he just don't get out enough
He dresses incorrectly... no-one told him talk to girls but he's just too spotty
He dresses incorrectly... no-one told him seventeen he not keen on being liked by anyone else
So he just plays on his computer game
He dresses incorrectly... no-one told him seventeen he not mean enough
He dresses incorrectly... no-one told him where to go but he just don't get out enough
He dresses incorrectly... no-one told him talk to girls but he's just too spotty
He dresses incorrectly... no-one told him seventeen he not keen on being liked
Anyone he's not being like
Anyone jubilee's not like
Anyone else

About a lazy and immature 17 year old boy who spends all his time watching TV, playing computer games and being anti-social in general. Pretty much my brother actually...
The computer game sounds in the bridge are from a electronic pocket keychain.
"He got butane he got plastic bags "
Butane can give you a cheap high if you inhale it. It's one of the stupidest ways to get stoned, actually, but it is used by some of the youth in the UK.
This song's lyrics sound like they're about someone I know
This song sounds like David Bowie (Jean Genie, Suffragette City and the like). Especially the saxophones. :P
well maybe damon is talking about his own experiences... about himself at the age of 17
"Jubilee's not like anyone else"
I wonder if Albarn seriously thinks that. Maybe in 1993-1994, people like Jubilee were not common knowledge.
