BLUR LYRICS - Country House

"Country House"



And so the the story begins



City dweller, successful fella

Thought to himself oops I've got a lot of money

I'm 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

Caught up in the centuries anxiety

It preys on him, he's getting thin



He lives in a house, a very big house in the country

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

It's like an animal farm lot's of rural charm in the country



He's got morning glory, life's a different story

Everything going jackanory, in touch with his own mortality

He's reading balzac, knocking back prozac

It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland

Oh it's the centuries remedy

For the faint at heart, a new start



He lives in a house, a 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

Says she's come to no harm on an animal farm in the country



In the country, in the country



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



He lives in a house, a very big house in the country

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

Oh, it's like an animal farm lot's of rural charm in the country



He lives in a house, a 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

And she's come to no harm on an animal farm in the country
