Bang

Bang is the 2nd track and the third single from their debut album Leisure.

It reached number 24 in the UK Singles Chart. It's disappointing performance relative to previous single "There's No Other Way" marked the end of Blur's initial period of popularity, which would not be equalled until the release of "Girls & Boys" three years later.

Lyrics
Sitting in an S.D.T.

Waiting for an underground train

To rumble underneath my feet

Bang goes another day

Where it went I could not say

Now I'll have to wait another week

When all is said and all is done

What was said was never done

Don't panic it's not really worth your while

Bang goes another year

In and out of one ear

Everybody's doing it so - do it too

I don't need anyone

But a little love would make things better (x2)

Sitting on the early bus

Passing through the morning rush

It makes no difference that I'm not

With you

Bang goes another year

In and out of one ear

Everybody's doing it I'll - do it too

I don't need anyone

But a little love would make things better (x3)
