Blur: Under the Westway (William Orbit Version) Lyrics

Blur - Under the Westway (William Orbit Version) 

Lyrics 

The sky won in my city today

She was so blue she swallowed the Monday

On the 52

As the traffic grew

Upon the Westway

Here I sat watching comets lonesome trails

Shining up above me

The jet fuel it fell

Down to earth where the money always comes first

And the chorus sings

Where is the day they switch off the machines

The men in yellow jackets put adverts in my dreams

Government why do you always lie

But I soon know

Captain hit the rocks so he had to fall

Throwing you love would

Suffer the rising 
Call for radical change 
'cause your mind's deranged

If you think I want to be like that

I ain't cruel

You're as tied to me

As I am to you

All aboard

Take the lifeboats home

that may defend us

It's pouring out of us today

La la la la la la la la

And it's pouring out us today

La la la la la la la la

Sold the world like everyone else does

Cock and Bull

I downed a rum or two with you

I dream of the sun

I dream the sun like everyone else does

Work's done

On Friday night in public houses

We are wonderful, Pathetic, or just

Plain gone

So it's magic arrows hitting the bull

Doing one eighty while sounding the call

And the flags coming down

And the last post sounds just like a love song

For the way I feel about you

Forgetting paradise, it's with you

On a permanent basis I apologise

But I am going to sing hallelujah

Sing it out loud, sing it to you

Always lost in the sea

'Till the tide it washes over me

Thanks D for compiling the lyrics !

Damon Albarn previews Under the Westway for the second time

Some say it's like something out of Damon Albarn's solo album The Good, The Bad and The Queen; some say it's a melancholic ballad; some live it, some hate it, some fans even claim it's the ultimate clue to what any new Blur material (in the future) may sound like.

Ladies and gentlemen, Damon Albarn previewed the new Blur song 'Under the Westway' on the BBC Front Row show on the 7th May 2012. This is the second time the song has been played - the first was during the War Child live gig earlier this year, where BlurBalls exclusively filmed the touching, two-man performance.



Damon was interviewed at his studio and he previewed the new Blur track. This song is rumoured to be included in the band's Blur21 massive box set as the mysterious track. The box set will include remasters of all their catalogue and many exclusive, unreleased tracks.

Listen to it on BBC iplayer HERE, or watch the youtube footage with Damon on piano below:



Alternatively, you can download the mp3 file (credits to Gorillaz Unofficial) HERE.

The track seems very promising, and of course, melancholic...just in time for Blur's massive Hyde Park gig this summer. But can it compare with the band's earlier track 'Fools Day' ? Is this too Beatles-esque? Or is it a new direction for a future Blur?

Guess fans will have to wait and see. The box set will be released on July 2012.

Blur - Under The Westway Lyrics

Exclusively brought to you by BlurBalls.com, now you can listen to Blur's new track "Under The Westway" with lyrics in an experiential, experimental video we made. This was requested many times to us, and what came out of it was a grainy, washy, and best of all - a moving video instead of the usual lyrics-on-screen-with-a-typewriter.

Check out the full lyrics and the video for the song below.

Blur - Under The Westway Lyrics

It was a bright day in my city today 

Everything was sinking says 

Snow would come on Sunday 

The old school would do 

And the traffic grew 

Upon the Westway 

Where i sat watching comets lonesome trails

Shining up above me 

The jet fuel farewell 

Down to earth 

Where the money always come first 

And the sirens sing 

So give us a day we switch off the machines  

Cause men in yellow jackets 

Putting adverts inside my dreams 

And all the ladies thought: 

The whole world gone 

Fallen under the spell of the changing ways 

We all communicate 

So sending up shockwaves 

Somewhere here out in space 

it depends how you call 

And the hearts on fire 

Under the Westway 

Give me magic here in the city, the boat

doing 180

instead of standing although it's cold 

And the flags coming down 

The opals sound 

Just like a love song 

Far away, I feel about you 

Paradise not lost it's in you

On the permanent races 

I apologize

But I am gonna sing 

Hallelujah 

Singing out loud 

And sing it to you all

Am I lost let me see

For the black falls burn

And wash me off the Westway

Under the Westway is rumoured to be released for Record Store Day, April 2012.
