Clover Over Dover
Blur · Parklife
I'm on the white cliffs of Dover
Thinking it over and over
But if I jump its all over
A cautionary tale for you
I'd like to roll in the clover
With you over and over
On the white cliffs of dover
And then I'd let you push me over
and if that is the fact then in actual fact
it's not where it's at
and it's over
and if that is the fact then in actual fact
i'm not where it's at
and it's over
yes it is
And now the bluebirds are over
Over the white cliffs of dover
So when you push me over
Don't bury me I'm not worth anything
Thinking it over and over
But if I jump its all over
A cautionary tale for you
I'd like to roll in the clover
With you over and over
On the white cliffs of dover
And then I'd let you push me over
and if that is the fact then in actual fact
it's not where it's at
and it's over
and if that is the fact then in actual fact
i'm not where it's at
and it's over
yes it is
And now the bluebirds are over
Over the white cliffs of dover
So when you push me over
Don't bury me I'm not worth anything
Clover Over Dover
Released on Blur's 1991 album Parklife, Clover Over Dover stands as a quintessential example of the band's Britpop era sound. The track features the distinctive guitar work of Graham Coxon and the melodic vocal style of Damon Albarn, capturing the casual, observational tone that defined the group's early discography. As a key component of Parklife, the song reflects the cultural landscape of early 1990s England, blending indie rock sensibilities with a laid-back rhythm that became a signature of the genre. Its enduring popularity highlights Blur's ability to craft anthems that resonate with listeners across generations, cementing their status as pioneers of the movement.
