Uncle Love just got a message from God
That you are driving him crazy
Tomorrow he says the doctor comes
With a drink to make him lazy
Did you realise that Uncle Love's
Got an 8 ball in his hand
Everything sticks to you like glue
But it just makes you lazy
You should hear what they say
About you everyday
You should hear what they say
Uncle Love's going to get you
Uncle Love just got a message from God
That you are driving him crazy
Everything sticks to you like glue
But it just makes you lazy
That you are driving him crazy
Tomorrow he says the doctor comes
With a drink to make him lazy
Did you realise that Uncle Love's
Got an 8 ball in his hand
Everything sticks to you like glue
But it just makes you lazy
You should hear what they say
About you everyday
You should hear what they say
Uncle Love's going to get you
Uncle Love just got a message from God
That you are driving him crazy
Everything sticks to you like glue
But it just makes you lazy

The song features the group's signature blend of melodic pop sensibilities and introspective lyricism, delivered by Damon Albarn's distinctive vocal style. While often associated with their debut album *Leather*, this recording was initially released as a single and has since become a staple of their discography. It captures the youthful energy and social commentary characteristic of Blur's work during their rise to prominence in the early 1990s. The track remains a defining example of the genre's evolution, showcasing the band's ability to balance catchy hooks with deeper thematic exploration.
