Country House - 2012 Lyrics - Blur

So the story begins: 

City dweller, successful fella 

Thought to himself 

"Oops, I've got a lot of money" 

Caught in a rat race terminally 

I'm a professional cynic 

but my heart's not in it 

I'm paying the price of living life at the limit 

Caught in the century's anxiety 

Yes it preys on him (preys on him) 

He's getting thin (getting thin) {tricycle life}

He lives in a house, 

a very big house in the country 

Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country 

He takes all manner of pills 

and piles up analyst bills in the country 

Oh, it's like an animal farm, 

lots of rural charm in the country 

He's got morning glory 

and life's a different story 

Everything's going jackanorry (jackanorry) 

Touched with his own mortality 

He's reading Balzac and knocking back Prozac 

It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland 

(close your eyes child) 

Oh, it's the century's remedy 

For the faint at heart (faint at heart) 

A new start (new start) {tricycle life}

He lives in a house, 

a very big house in the country 

Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country 

He takes all manner of pills 

and piles up analyst bills in the country 

Oh, it's like an animal farm, 

lots of rural charm in the country 

In the country (Doo doo doo) 

In the country (Doo doo doo) 

In the country-y-y! 

Blow, blow me out I am so sad 

I don't know why 

Blow, blow me out I am so sad 

I don't know why 

Oh, he lives in a house 

a very big house in the country 

Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country 

He takes all manner of pills 

and piles up analyst bills in the country 

Oh, it's like an animal farm 

lots of rural charm in the country 

Oh, he lives in a house 

a very big house in the country 

Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country 

He takes all manner of pills 

and piles up analyst bills in the country 

Oh, it's like an animal farm 

lots of rural charm in the country 

Ooh la la la 

(I wanna be, I wanna be {in the country})
