A fast-paced song, this track features a prominent guitar and describes the narrator’s confusion- wanting anyone to “Tell me” anything.
It was originally a Seymour demo, Blur’s former moniker, as are all the B-Sides on Sunday Sunday.
Tell me, tell me, tell me please
What is this that offends me
Drives me to a state of hopelessness
Has it any sense at all
Has it any worth at all
Or is it just an utter mess
The funny thing that makes me do
The things that I do to you
Although I know they are so damn very cold
I'm in a stupor, can't explain
My mind is gone, my mind is gone
There seems so very little I can do
And all these things I want to know
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me, tell me please [Repeat: x3]
Won't you tell me, please
My head's so full of emptiness
It's so hard to sustain the mess
I've no idea who I am at all
So tell me, tell me, tell me please
What is this that offends me
Before I smash my head against the wall
And all these things I want to know
[Chorus: x2]
