Another song about a legendary figure (like some others before)! This one is about Edward Mordrake, the guy who was supposedly born with a woman's face on the back of his head!

Once About A Time In England

[Verse 1]
I'd take it on the chin if the dream hadn't died
Could take the weight of my head
Take it in stride
Take it like a man if I still had some fight
Wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died

[Chorus]
If the dream hadn't died
There'd be so much to love
So many things to keep a heart above
And I'd walk around with my arms open wide
It wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died

[Verse 2]
And I could say that this just happens to everyone
And I'd believe it if it wasn't for the fact that I'm
The only one
And the sun's setting on me
It's like the world has gone and left me to the night
It wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died

[Chorus]
If the dream hadn't died
There'd be so much to love
So many things to keep a heart above
And I'd walk around with my arms open wide
It wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died

[Verse 3]
I'd stop countin' my failures
Just learn to forgive
I could let go of some things
Lord
I could forget
Wouldn't matter at all if I just hadn't tried
Wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died

[Chorus]
If the dream hadn't died
There'd be so much to love
So many things to keep a heart above
And I'd walk around with my arms open wide
It wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died

[Verse 4]
And when I look around and I see that it ain't there
That good ol' faith
Just feelin' up in the air
It's all good
I know
It's just not what I had in mind
Wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died

[Final Chorus]
If the dream hadn't died
There'd be so much to love
So many things to keep a heart above
And I'd walk around with my arms open wide
It wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died
If the dream hadn't died
There'd be so much to love
So many things to keep a heart above
And I'd walk around with my arms open wide
It wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died
Wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died
Wouldn't be a problem if the dream hadn't died

If The Dream Hadn't Died II (feat. Nostalgia Boy)

No Distance Left to Run

Blur as we know it was born in 1989 when the band signed to Food/EMI. Debut album Leisure (1991) announced the arrival of a band with pop suss warped by an art-punk eccentricity. Yet Blur had more in them: namely, a revolution in the sound of English popular music. Second album Modern Life Is Rubbish reintroduced the idea that English rock music could be cool, and by the time their third album Parklife emerged in 1994, the rest of the UK had caught up. 

The Great Escape (1995) refined the sound palette of Britpop, but Blur were already moving on. 1997's Blur was an about-face - scuffed and noisy and un-English. Follow-up 13 was an even a more radical adventure in sound as William Orbit refereed a truce between organic punkpop and new-fangled technology.

Seventh album Think Tank (2003) was Blur’s first as a three piece after the temporary departure of founding guitarist Graham Coxon, featuring an eclectic variety of rhythms and textures and glorious melodies. 

In 2009 Blur reconvened as a four-piece to play a series of UK shows including two sold out dates at Hyde Park and a historic Sunday night appearance at Glastonbury. A film about Blur, No Distance Left To Run, was released in 2010.
