So call the police
Following the herd
Down to Greece
On holiday
Love in the 90's
Is paranoid
On sunny beaches
Take your chan-ces
Looking for
Girls who want boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love
Avoiding all work
'Cuz there's none available
Low battery thinkers
Count your thoughts
On one two three four
Five fingers
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
You get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr schön
But we haven't been
Introduced

Always should be someone you really love

Girls & Boys
Released in 1994 on the landmark album Parklife, Girls & Boys stands as a defining track of the Britpop era. The song captures the hedonistic energy of 1990s Britain, blending upbeat guitar riffs with a driving rhythm that became a staple of the genre. Damon Albarn's lyrics explore themes of modern romance and nightlife, reflecting the cultural shifts of the time without relying on specific narrative details. As part of Blur's most commercially successful period, the recording helped solidify the band's reputation for capturing the zeitgeist with sharp wit and infectious melodies. The track remains a celebrated example of the group's ability to merge pop sensibilities with rock instrumentation, securing its place in their extensive discography.
