Country House (Live at Wembley Stadium) lyrics

[Intro]
Hello, young man
So the story begins

[Verse 1]
City dweller, successful fella
Thought to himself, "Woops, I've got a lot of money" (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 (To the limit)
Caught in the century's anxiety

[Pre-Chorus]
Yes, it preys on him (Preys on him)
Getting thin (He's getting thin)

[Chorus]
And now he lives in a house
Very big house in the country
Watching afternoon repeats
And the food he eats in the country
[?] drink, smoke, laugh [?]
Oh, f*ck, I don't even know the words, I don't care

[Verse 2]
He's got morning glory and life's a different story
Everything's going Jackanory (Jackanory)
Touched with his own mortality
He's reading Balzac and knocking back Prozac
A helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
(Close your eyes, try it)
Oh, it's the century's remedy
[Pre-Chorus]
For the faint at heart (For the faint at heart)
A new start (A new start)

[Chorus]
And now he lives in a house
Very big house in the country
Ey, come on, sing it

[Interlude]
In the country
In the country
In the country

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, he lives in a house
Very big house in the country
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why)
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
(Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why)
It's like an animal farm
That's the rural charm in the country
Oh, he lives in a house
Very big house in the country
He's got a fog in his chest
So he needs a lot of rest in the country
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh
Takes herbal baths in the country
But you'll come to no harm
On an animal farm in the country
[Outro]
Oh-oh, la-la-la-la
Let's do it, everyone
Everyone put your hands in the air
Hey! Thank you, Wembley
Wembley's having it
And Damon's having it
La-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la

[Spoken: Damon Albarn, Phil Daniels & Graham Coxon]
Right, ey, ey, ey
You young rascal
Disturbing everybody's peace and quiet
I'll show you what a noise is like
Well, oh – Oi! Oi, oi! Oi, oi, oi! Oi!
Are you ready for—
What are you gonna do now?
What's normal anyway?
Watch normal
