Song 2
Blur · Midlife: A Beginner's Guide to Blur [2009]
Wooooo Hooooooo!
Wooooo Hooooooo!
Wooooo Hooooooo!
Wooooo Hooooooo!
I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy but nothing is
no
When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well, I lie and I'm easy
All of the time but I am never sure
why I need you
Pleased to meet you
I got my head done
When I was young
It's not my problem
It's not my problem
When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well, I lie and I'm easy
All of the time but I am never sure
why I need you
Pleased to meet you
Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah
Oh Yeah
Wooooo Hooooooo!
Wooooo Hooooooo!
Wooooo Hooooooo!
I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy but nothing is
no
When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well, I lie and I'm easy
All of the time but I am never sure
why I need you
Pleased to meet you
I got my head done
When I was young
It's not my problem
It's not my problem
When I feel heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well, I lie and I'm easy
All of the time but I am never sure
why I need you
Pleased to meet you
Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah
Oh Yeah
