Won't someone give me a gun? Oh well it's for my brother Well he writes the line wrote down my spine It says "Oh do you believe in love there?" So slow down slow down you're taking me over And so we drown Sir we drown stop taking me over Won't someone give me some fun? (And the skin flies all around us) We kiss in his room to a popular tune Oh real drowners Slow down slow down you're taking me over And so we drown, Sir we drown, Stop taking me over!

By rebelling against th[e] gradual dumbing down of a na3on, by openly championing a switched-‐on, sophis3cated Britpop image [Blur have] defined a new Englishness. It’s an aItude based not on a nostalgic Carry On Mr Kipling Britain, but a Britain that you will recognise as the one you live in. A place where dressing well and having a good haircut maler. -‐ Jones in Bennel & Stralon, 2010: p42

“the term banal na&onalism is introduced to cover the ideological habits which enable the established na3ons of the West to be reproduced. It is argued that these habits are not removed from everyday life, as some observers have supposed. Daily, the na3on is indicated, or ‘flagged’, in the lives of its ci3zenry. Na3onalism, far from being an intermilent mood in established na3ons, is the endemic condi3on." -‐ Michael Billig, 1995 p.6
