Lyrics

[Intro] Hello, young man So the story begins [Verse 1] City dweller, successful fella Thought to himself, "Woops, I've got a lot of money" (Lot of money) Caught in a rat race, terminally I'm a professional cynic but my heart's not in it I'm paying the price of living life at the limit (To the limit) Caught in the century's anxiety [Pre-Chorus] Yes, it preys on him (Preys on him) Getting thin (He's getting thin) [Chorus] And now he lives in a house Very big house in the country Watching afternoon repeats And the food he eats in the country [?] drink, smoke, laugh [?] Oh, fuck, I don't even know the words, I don't care [Verse 2] He's got morning glory and life's a different story Everything's going Jackanory (Jackanory) Touched with his own mortality He's reading Balzac and knocking back Prozac A helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland (Close your eyes, try it) Oh, it's the century's remedy [Pre-Chorus] For the faint at heart (For the faint at heart) A new start (A new start) [Chorus] And now he lives in a house Very big house in the country Ey, come on, sing it [Interlude] In the country In the country In the country [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Blow, blow me out I am so sad, I don't know why Blow, blow me out I am so sad, I don't know why [Chorus] Oh, he lives in a house Very big house in the country (Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why) Watching afternoon repeats And the food he eats in the country He takes all manner of pills And piles up analyst bills in the country (Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why) It's like an animal farm That's the rural charm in the country Oh, he lives in a house Very big house in the country He's got a fog in his chest So he needs a lot of rest in the country He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh Takes herbal baths in the country But you'll come to no harm On an animal farm in the country [Outro] Oh-oh, la-la-la-la Let's do it, everyone Everyone put your hands in the air Hey! Thank you, Wembley Wembley's having it And Damon's having it La-la-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la [Spoken: Damon Albarn, Phil Daniels & Graham Coxon] Right, ey, ey, ey You young rascal Disturbing everybody's peace and quiet I'll show you what a noise is like Well, oh – Oi! Oi, oi! Oi, oi, oi! Oi! Are you ready for— What are you gonna do now? What's normal anyway? Watch normal
