There were blue skies in my city today
Everything was sinking, said snow would come on sunday
The old school was due and the traffic grew
Up on the Westway
Where I stood watching comets lonesome trails
Shining up above me the jet fuel it fell
Down to earth where the money always comes first
And the sirens sing
Bring us the day they switch off the machines
Cos men in yellow jackets putting adverts inside my dreams
An automated song and the whole world gone
Fallen under the spell of
The distance between us when we communicate
Still picking up shortwave, somewhere they're out in space
It depends how you're wired when the night's on fire
Under the Westway
Now it's magic arrows hitting the bull
Doing one eighty still standing at last call
When the flags coming down and the Last Post sounds
Just like a love song
For the way I feel about you
Paradise's not lost, it's in you
On a permanent basis I apologise
But I am going to sing
Hallelujah
Sing it out loud and sing it to you
Am I lost out at sea
'Til a tide wash me up off the Westway

What is the meaning behind Under The Westway lyrics?
When we look beyond the surface of the words, the band Blur's piece 'Under the Westway' draws parallels between city life and human feelings, using the Westway as a symbol for the vibrant city that is in stark opposite with the love that is quiet and lasting. Under the westway lyrics are mainly about love, reflection, joy, angst and inspiration. Besides these, the song also brings out the importance of city life and modernity, longing and connection, and hope and redemption. The text has some mature subjects and images that might be acceptable for children of older age with parents' supervision. There is not a single word of profanity, nor is there any violence or sexual content, but there are still the themes of automation, consumerism, and communication which might be hard for little ones to understand. ✔️
Which genre is Under The Westway?
