Lyrics Barbaric - Blur

Who blinks first? You're gonna win
The fallen doves of lover's vows
In the world all around us

And I'd like, if you've got the time
To talk to you about
What this breakup has done to me

I have lost
The feeling that I thought I'd never lose
Now where am I going?
At what cost?
The feeling that I thought I'd never lose
It is barbaric

Now you can't play to every taste
The powder keg of common cause
All of us carry trauma

And in lieu of an explanation
I will pour oil from the cup
On the pyre of abdication

You have lost
The feeling that you thought you'd never lose
Now where are you going, darling?
At what cost?
The feeling that you thought you'd never lose
And it is barbaric

Empty grove, winter darkness
We're taking down the scaffolds very soon
Crow dappled the lonely baubles on the plane tree
The can of soup and heating up to ten
Which leaves me to the part
Where we agreed on different dreams

And that we'd lost
The feeling that we thought we'd never lose
Now where are we going?
At what cost?
The feelings that we thought we'd never lose
It is barbaric

We have lost
The feeling that we thought we'd never lose
Where are we going?
We have lost
The feeling that we thought we'd never lose
And it is barbaric, darling

We have lost
The feeling that we thought we'd never lose (at what cost?)
Now where are we going?
We have lost
The feeling that we thought we'd never lose
It is barbaric
