What the heck the meaning behind "I'm just a Killer for your love" is? I mean, does it mean anything at all? What is the feeling you should get whilst listening to this song?

It's the only Blur song I really really do not get, or is it maybe the case that it's just a song to fill the album up and that it doesn't mean anything?

I heard that it was going to be a b-side, but at the last minute they kicked All Your Life off the album and replaced it with I'm Just A Killer For Your Love because they thought it was a grower and they liked it's sound.

oooh I love that song! But it does sound very similar to Death of a Party - or is that just me? When I sing one, it metamorphoses into another.

Anyway, talking of singing, I was recently forced to go to a karaoke, where I immediately found the only other person who wasn't singing along to Eminem and bonded. She was a massive Blur fan too, so we decided to get up and sing Parkilfe or something everyone would know, so they could sing along too and we wouldn't look so crap. However, we looked up Blur and there was only one song on the machine - Trimm Trabb! Now, as well as being obscure and hard to sing, is this what you would want to sing at a party? Weird. needless to say, we were delighted, and subjected the group to a full 20 seconds of offkey warblings until someone yelled, "That was the chorus?!?" and threw us off. Ah well.

Dear, dear. Who was it who once barked, "Pick a handle!" ? Words worth recycling.

I've had a problem understanding just about any of the lyrics since (but not counting) The Great Escape.. Ok, maybe not, but some of the songs of Blur and 13 are really.. Abstract..
But then again, maybe I've gotten them all wrong as I always thought Trimm Trabb went "... All the loosers on the physic end.."

Oh dear. I always thought it went, "All the losers, on the piss again."

By indigo on Thursday, January 10, 2002 - 04:38 pm:

I got no style
I'll take my time
All those losers on the piss again
I dose dose away

That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is

I've got trimm trabb
Like the flash boys have
And I can't go back
Let it flow, let it flow
I sleep alone

Trimm Trabb is such a bizarre choice for karaoke! The second half of the song doesnt even have any vocals, does it? Hehe. If they wanted a recent song you think they'd have gone for Coffee + TV or something.

Ok, thanks Indigo, that clears up a lot of things. I'll cut and paste into my lyrics-compendium.
