Caramel Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've got to get over
I've got to get over
I've got to get better
Will love you forever
I've got to find genius (caramel)
I've got to get better (caramel)
I've got to stop smoking (caramel)
I've got to get better (caramel, caramel)

[Verse 2]
Where is the magic?
I've got to get better
Oh lord, give me magic
I'll love you forever
I've got to find mounts hill (caramel)
And live by the mountain (caramel)
I'll love you forever (caramel)
You are (caramel)
And you are (caramel)
(Caramel, caramel, caramel, caramel)

[Outro]
Bye (bye), babe (bye) [x15]

Low, low, low, low
Bye (bye), babe (bye)
[x4]

About

Damon Albarn has said before how heroin makes him ‘incredibly productive’. “Caramel” details his struggle to remain functioning as an artist in face of his high-profile breakup with Elastica’s Justine Frischmann by appealing to the drug (the word ‘caramel’ is reference to the color of heated heroin).

Caramel is woozy, far out, away-with-the-planets.

If I had to name a favourite Blur song, Caramel would definitely be it. That and Tender. I played Caramel obsessively in my car over and over again. You can play it over and over again because it starts and ends in the same place. I’m quite proud of it. It’s a grown up musical track and the kind of thing we’d been trying to do for a long time but never really got to work. In that one it works 100%.
