Starshaped Lyrics

Wash with new soap behind the collar
Keeps a clean mental state
Don't usually bother in cold weather
But I'm still getting into work late

And I don't need the practice
I've been making plans (for the future)
Become an unconcious man (all for the good)
I feel so uneccesary (we don't think so, you seem starshaped)

I have a couple at the week-end
Helps keep up camaraderie
And my mind boggles in the muddle
At the possibilities

And I don't need the practice
I've been making plans (for the future)
Become an unconcious man (all for the good)
I feel so uneccesary (we don't think so, you seem starshaped)

Wash with new soap behind the collar
Helps keep down the laundry
And now I bother in cold weather
Cause it cleans me mentally

And I really don't need the practice
I've been making plans (for the future)
Become an unconcious man (all for the good)
I feel so uneccesary (we don't think so, you seem starshaped)

This is one of my favourite blur songs. It really sums up the mundanity that can be felt in a nine to five experience when you don't enjoy the job you have.

Great song. It uses the office job metaphor perfectly, and how a boss can talk you up, just to wring every last good drop out of you for their own benefit. It seems pretty clear to me though, that this is a metaphor for the music industry and the treatment blur got in their early years

My Interpretation

Yeah, it might be my favourite from the album.
