The song has a personal meaning for me. It seems to be about a man who is in a romantic relationship with a fairly passive woman. She accepts everything he says and uncritically goes along with his plans. He may be a bit boring, but on the whole things are going well. He wants everything to stay the same forever - but we know how that goes, don't we? The music and vocal harmonies add a mellow beauty to it.
At one point I was involved with someone and I was listening to Blur a lot at the time, including this song. My girl was pretty easy to get along with, and mostly accepted the things I said and wanted to do. I was unaware at the time that she had begun scheming how to end things between us. And that is why I like the first comment here, the one that refers to the interview with Albarn. It makes me think he went thru something similar.
