Back to: Lyrics Badgeman Brown By: Blur From: Popscene Badgeman Brown was intended as part of an embryonic Blur soundtrack to a film by Storm Thorgerson, half of the legendary Hipgnosis design team. "It was a big idea about a man leaving his house and just vanishing but it was a castle in Spain, a pipe-dream," explained Alex in the book 3862 Days. David Balfe hated it, and Andy Ross also thought the track stank: "If ever Blur got too cocky or we began to think too highly of them, we'd play them Badgeman Brown to remind them they were only human." This is the voice of someone Calling from a lonely hill To the hard of hearing Or those who never will A long-legged someone Seen walking away from home Like a vacant dreamer Walking alone alone Ways that turn and turn Which is what we'd learn As suffering believers In the book of Badgeman Brown They're dropping like flies In a suburban house From a lack of anything Anything to keep their hands in And the town keeps screaming From a lonely hill Another lot of people Those who never will Ways that turn and turn Which is what we'd learn As suffering believers In the book of Badgeman Brown This is the voice of someone Calling from a lonely hill To the hard of hearing Or those who never will The days will turn in turn Which is what we'd learn As suffering believers In the book of Badgeman Brown |
