- Chemical World Lyrics / with translationsTHE PAY-ME GIRL HAS HAD ENOUGH OF THE BLEEPS
SO SHE TAKES A BUS INTO THE COUNTRY
ALTHOUGH SHE GOT HERSELF ROSY CHEEKS
SHE DIDN'T LEAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY THE RENT
THE LANLORD SAYS THAT SHE'S OUT IN A WEEK
WHAT A SHAME SHE WAS JUST GETTING COMFY
NOW SHE'S EATING CHOCOLATE TO INDUCE SLEEP
IN A CHEMICAL WORLD IT'S VERY, VERY, VERY CHEAP
[CHORUS]
AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU
THEY'VE BEEN PUTTING THE HOLES IN, YES YES
IT'S BEEN A HELL OF A DO
THEY'VE BEEN PUTTING THE HOLES IN, YES YES
PEEPING THOMAS HAS A VERY NICE VIEW
ACROSS THE STREET AT THE EXHIBITIONIST
THESE TOWNIES THEY NEVER SPEAK TO YOU
JUST STICK TOGETHER SO THEY NEVER GET LONELY
FEELING LEAD, FEELING QUITE LIGHT-HEADED
HAD TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE SOME SUGARY TEA
IN CHEMICAL WORLD, IN A CHEMICAL WORLD IT'S VERY, VERY, VERY,
CHEAP.
[CHORUS]
SO SHE TAKES A BUS INTO THE COUNTRY
ALTHOUGH SHE GOT HERSELF ROSY CHEEKS
SHE DIDN'T LEAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY THE RENT
THE LANLORD SAYS THAT SHE'S OUT IN A WEEK
WHAT A SHAME SHE WAS JUST GETTING COMFY
NOW SHE'S EATING CHOCOLATE TO INDUCE SLEEP
IN A CHEMICAL WORLD IT'S VERY, VERY, VERY CHEAP
[CHORUS]
AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU
THEY'VE BEEN PUTTING THE HOLES IN, YES YES
THEY'VE BEEN PUTTING THE HOLES IN, YES YES
PEEPING THOMAS HAS A VERY NICE VIEW
ACROSS THE STREET AT THE EXHIBITIONIST
THESE TOWNIES THEY NEVER SPEAK TO YOU
JUST STICK TOGETHER SO THEY NEVER GET LONELY
FEELING LEAD, FEELING QUITE LIGHT-HEADED
HAD TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE SOME SUGARY TEA
IN CHEMICAL WORLD, IN A CHEMICAL WORLD IT'S VERY, VERY, VERY,
CHEAP.
[CHORUS]

When we look deeper into its meaning, the song 'Chemical World' by Blur offers a scenario of the world's disintegration and the inner man's struggle, while at the same time it uses the metaphor of 'putting the holes in' to signify the gradual loss of morals and the intrusion of modern life. The lyrics of Chemical World bring out the feelings of despair, social commentary, and self-reflection, among others. To put it differently, the song points to the human condition of disconnection and isolation, the need to escape and the consequent disillusionment, the omnipresent watch and the act of seeing others, the slow death of privacy. The words depict financial difficulties, drug use (like chocolate for sleep and tea with sugar), and even mention of an 'exhibitionist,' which might be taken as mature theme. The phrase 'they're putting the holes in' is also layered with different meanings, some of which might not be fit for children. All these factors can lead to the conclusion of a PG-13 tag, which denotes that some parts may not be suitable for under-13 kids.
