Song 2

Blur · Midlife&#58 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
