I'm just kinda getting this weird suspicion that this song might, in fact, in some small way, possibly, be about sex? It's very very subtle but I think it's in there somewhere.
As a German fan, this is my favorite Blur song of all time. Graham struggling to drink tea while the background blasting "Bleib wie du bist! Was ich an dir liebe, was du für mich bist. Ein zärtlicher Engel " (the rest is very hard to hear) Roughly translates into "Stay the way you are! What I love about you. What you are to me, an tender angel and something something inaudible!" Peak Comedy, I tell ya! (or maybe my humor is just broken)
This was my response to the absolute car crash of a show at the Forum. I quit….unless they calmed down the booze before a show. Seeing people you believe in self sabotage was heartbreaking. It was done with love and care. It was a watershed moment.
