Mostly known as the lead guitarist, backing vocalist and occasional lead vocalist of the rock band Blur, Graham Coxon is also a critically acclaimed solo artist having recorded seven solo albums. He is famous for being multi-instrumentalist and recording his albums single-handedly, without much help from session musicians.
This track is taken from his second solo album The Golden D (2000), the title of which is a tongue in cheek reference to his favourite guitar chord.
Lyrics:
Don't know what I'm doing here
Days are full of chips and beer
I've found myself alone again
Tell me what went wrong my friend
Fags and failure every day
Fags and failure every night
Fags and failure till I lay down and die
I am feeling really bad
Life is turning me half mad
Voices shout inside my head
Can't seem to get outta bed
Fags and failure every day
Fags and failure every night
Fags and failure till I lay down and die
What is happening in my brain
I think I've gone completely insane
Help me baby help me please
This thing has got me on my knees
Fags and failure every day
Fags and failure every night
Fags and failure till I lay down and die
Fags and failure every day
Fags and failure every night
Fags and failure till I lay down and die
