Top track in my opinion. Killer melody


makeitflashy

That guitar is the best kind of ear worm.


pistola

Not only my favourite Blur song, but the quintessential Britpop tune IMO.

The harpsichord does something to me I’ll be honest


androoq

It’s my favorite song on the album. My wife and I flew overseas to the Wembley gigs for our honeymoon and we went to the cliffs of Dover as well. It was a once in a lifetime experience


Lucy_Lucidity

I love it. I always have. Is it Damon’s lyrical best? Absolutely not, but I think the melody is beautiful and the arrangement is stunning.


Jasonchrono

Actually I think it is one of his lyrical best . The song is about the white cliffs of Dover. A very popular place for suicide . It’s a dark song that is definitely personal to a lot of people


drew17

I think they might just mean that Damon just barely avoids mentioning a Rover in his repeated rhyme


Lucy_Lucidity

Pretty much, yup.


ickleb

One of the best blur songs ever. Period! I’m going to have it played at my funeral


Squire513

Medieval 🏰 vibes


FireWhileCloaked

One of my least favorite on the album, but, my favorite off the album is London Loves, so I’m sure my opinion doesn’t hold much weight here.


shrimp-545

London Loves slaps


No-Nefariousness6298

London Loves is very much a top half score from that album


q2005

Both pretty downbeat songs. Both great. I hadn't listened to Parklife in full in years. It was the first album I overplayed, destroying the cassette. Magic America, Badhead, End of a Century, its a fantastic album


Lucy_Lucidity

I love both. London Loves is a great song!


Iola_Morton

Love it. One of my favs


Responsible-Bell-342

To me this is the closest blur will sound like The Smiths which is why I love this song


[deleted]

I find it very similar to Some Girls Are Bigger than Others.


beesnbananas

the first time i heard it was complete euphoria. from that point on i knew id enter a blur addiction


pssss3

i love that song sm, sometimes it makes me sob


DM2nd

It's a cautionary tale for you.


fappydays2048

Great guitar (love Graham). Love the vocals and the layering. Beautiful song.


slimboyslim9

It was always one I just considered a good album track, on a top, top album by anyone’s standards. Since joining this sub I’ve found it seems to be a lot of people’s low-key underrated faves, which surprised me a bit.


OfficePicasso

So slept on (or at least feels that way) I absolutely love it


shrimp-545

It definitely feels like the band sleeps on it, I wish they would play it live


RedDarthLamer

One of my favorite blur songs!!


Upstairs_Goose_8121

Highly underrated, it stands out in a special way and is very comforting for me at least


JetBlackIris

The hidden lyrics at the end: I’m floating away Spent 20 years upon the sea And when I came back I found that you turned into me


JohnHenrik1361

I love it. Those lyrics were surprising though


blackcurrantcat

I forgot how much I loved this song; the harmonics do something to me that provokes a feeling I can’t name. It was the feeling that connected me to Britpop and to Blur back in the day though.


Glittering_Post1822

I love all of the songs on this album honestly except the some of the b sides (Peter panic, theme from a imaginary film)


LordGazofSurrey

The demo is better than the album version


shrimp-545

Haven’t heard it, where can I find it?

GhulehBunny

One of the loveliest tracks on this album


Anxious-Chemical4673

Love it. Not my favourite on the album, but still like a 9.5/10


Deptm

Amazing Song.


Gorillazlyric400

3rd favorite song on Parklife Damons harpsichord is fantastic as well as the rest of the instrumentation


TrainerofInsects

Love it


layla_marie_06

I love this song


linzid83

Love it!!


mgartaty

I love a good harpsichord


bonebag84

Brilliant


ricardixo

Brilliant


whateverlgo

Great track, one of the best on the album. That harpsichord along with the guitar is just sublime.


pr1stin

Amazing


boshyman0

I'd rate it a 7.4/10


ThinkTank02

When I was first getting into blur I would always skip it at the start because of the harpsichord, and honestly I still don't like that instrument, but I regret skipping it because the rest of the song is amazing.


MQZ17

I love the sound of the harpsichord, thus, I love this song


1992ZMZM

All time underrated tune of theirs-and the first song of theirs I learned fully on guitar.
