Country House Lyrics - The Great Escape - Blur

And so the the story begins 

City dweller, successful fella 

Thought to himself oops I've got a lot of money 

I'm 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 up in the centuries anxiety 

It preys on him, he's getting thin 

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 

It's like an animal farm lot's of rural charm in the country

He's got morning glory, life's a different story 

Everything going jackanory, in touch with his own mortality 

He's reading balzac, knocking back prozac 

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

Oh it's the centuries remedy 

For the faint at heart, a new start 

He lives in a house, a 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 

Says she's come to no harm on an animal farm in the country 

In the country, in the country 

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 

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 lot's of rural charm in the country

He doesn't drink smoke laugh, takes herbal baths in the country 

And she's come to no harm on an animal farm in the country
