Barbaric - Blur

Who blinks first?

You're gonna win

The fallen doves of lovers' vows

In the world all around us

And I'd like, if you've got the time

To talk to you about what this breakup has done to me

I have lost the feeling that I thought I'd never lose

Now where am I going?

At what cost, the feeling that I thought I'd never lose

It is barbaric

Now you can't play to every taste

The powder keg of common cause

All of us carry trauma

And in lieu of an explanation

I will pour oil from the cup on the pyre of abdication

You have lost

The feeling that you thought you'd never lose

Now where are you going, darling?

At what cost, the feeling that you thought you'd never lose

And it is barbaric

Empty grove, winter darkness

We're taking down the scaffolds very soon

Grow dappled, the lonely baubles on the plane tree

The can of soup and heating up to ten

Which leads me to the part

Where we agreed on different dreams

That we had lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose

Now where are we going?

At what cost, the feelings that we thought we'd never lose

It is barbaric

We have lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose

Now where are we going?

We have lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose

It is barbaric, darling

We have lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose

Now where are we going?

We have lost, the feeling that we thought we'd never lose

It is barbaric
