“Blue Jeans” is the sixth track off of Blur’s 1993 album “Modern Life is Rubbish”. It is about Blur’s lead singer (Damon Albarn) going shopping in his hometown of London.
[Verse 1]
Air-cushioned soles
I bought them on the Portobello Road on a Saturday
I stop and stare awhile
A common pastime when conversation goes astray
[Pre-Chorus]
And don't think I'm walking out of this
[Chorus]
She don't mind
Whatever I say, whatever I say
I don't really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever
[Verse 2]
Blue, blue jeans, I wear them every day
There's no particular reason to change
My thoughts are getting banal, I can't help it
But I won't pull out hair another day
[Pre-Chorus]
And don't think I'm walking out of this
[Chorus]
She don't mind
Whatever I say, whatever I say
I don't really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever
If you don't mind
Whatever I say, whatever I say
I don't really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever
[Bridge]
You know it could be with you
And don't give up on me yet
Don't think I'm walking out of this
[Chorus]
And she don't mind
Whatever I say, whatever I say
I don't really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever
If you don't mind
Whatever I say, whatever I say
I don't really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever
[Outro]
You know it's to be with you
