Uno de mis discos preferidos en los noventa fue Parklife de Blur. El álbum fue todo un bombazo en la época y entró en Inglaterra directamente en el número uno de las listas. "Girls & Boys" es absolutamente maravillosa y que decir de "Parklife", en la que Phil Daniels (Jimy en Quadrophenia) colabora como narrador. En 1995, Parklife fué disco de platino y recibió 4 premios en los Brit Awards, por mejor álbum (Parklife), mejor video (Parklife), mejor single (Parklife) y mejor grupo británico.La letra de "Girls And Boys":
"Street's like a jungle
So call the police (pronunciado "po-leis", no "polis")
Following the herd
Down to Greece
On holiday
Love in the 90's
Is paranoid
On sunny beaches
Take your chaaaaances
looking for
GIRLS WHO ARE BOYS
WHO LIKE BOYS TO BE GIRLS
WHO DO BOYS LIKE THEY'RE GIRLS
WHO DO GIRLS LIKE THEY'RE BOYS
ALWAYS SHOULD BE SOMEONE YOU REALLY LOVE
Avoiding all work
Because there's none available
Like battery thinkers
Count your thoughts
on 1 2 3 4 5 fingers
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
Get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr schon
But we haven't been introduced
y la de "Parklife":
Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as (parklife)

ALL THE PEOPLE SO MANY PEOPLE THEY ALL GO HAND IN HAND HAND IN HAND THROUGH THEIR PARKLIFEK
now what I meanI get up when I want except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen(Parklife)
I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea and I think about leaving the house (parklife)
I feed the pigeons I sometimes feed the sparrows too it gives me a sense of enormous wellBeing (parklife)
And then I'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit Of my heart devoted to it (parklife)
