Graham Coxon and Stephen Street Interview

Here's a great little interview about Blur's Hong Kong sessions and recording their newest album The Magic Whip. Graham Coxon and Stephen Street talks about their latest collaboration and feelings towards the album.

Blur at UK Number 1 for New Album

The Magic Whip, Blur's first album since 2003 has topped the UK Top Album chart in May 2015. It's currently at number 1 on the list. This is the group's first number one album in 12 years. 

They knocked out last week's chart topper Josh Groban's Stages, into fourth place.

The album chart saw little in the way of new entries aside from Blur, with Scottish twins The Proclaimers scoring the second highest new entry with Let's Hear it for the Dogs debuting at number 26. Taylor Swift's 1989 was at number two, followed by James Bay's Chaos and the Calm at three.

Blur Ong Ong Lyrics

(La la la)

I got on a boat on a hot sunny day
To get out of this town
But the tarmac was melting and the people seemed to sway(?)
Stuck in the underground

To the isle of (?) rainclouds and (?) wishing tree
I wanna be with you

On the slow boat that lands on misty sea
I wanna be with you

I pulled out the harbour with precession behind and i'm
feeling the love of you

So you better get to charge until i see you again
You know just what to do

If you're caught up in the (?) junk boat sea
I wanna be with you

On a hill where the mountains are high trapeze
I wanna be with you

Ooh, nah nah, aaaah

If you're a landlord, the social (?)
I wanna be with you

On an isle of regret/rainclouds & (?) seas
I will be there with you

Ooh

(La la la) I wanna be with you
