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

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 
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.
