When the hard day come from the magical lamp
That you saw there
And you can't get home
It doesn't compare
You got all love and war
When you are all uptight with fever inside
Let's get out
And if we can't do that what do you say
Let the past pass away

Into the dawn of another way of looking at
The people we've become

To a place where we played when
We were young on the cool
Breeze behind the sun

When the genes dissented and the hammer fell
Reliving
The force of the feeling that got you so down
Will you ever forgive me
It was a perfect night
And I wanted to say
I love you
And when the flood comes down I'll carry you and let the
Past pass away

Into the dawn of another way of looking at
The people we've become

To a place where we played when
We were young on the cool
Breeze behind the sun

All the cool breeze behind the sun
All the cool breeze behind the sun
All the cool breeze behind the sun

I'm frequently astonished by some of the Horse Excrement I read in comments.  In this case, to suggest that one maybe has to be English to appreciate this song appear to me to be the height of complete nonsense.  I am English; I don't need to be American to thoroughly appreciate any American song. Certainly, I might not like an American, ( or French, Italian, Australian ... etc., etc. ) song, and I still wouldn't even if I was of the same nationality as the artist.  There's plenty of English/British music that I consider as pure drivel. And a huge amount I love, but that ain't because I'm English.  

Some listeners here have their heads inserted much too far up their own fundaments. If you don't like a song, fine; I'd fight for your right to hate it. But I don't need to be told that you hate it.  I really don't give a pig's burp. You are NOT an arbiter of good taste. For the record, I don't like this song, despite the fact that I'm English. But who the heck cares whether I like it or not, other than me?

edit:  boo, only 4 weeks as it turned out.

Damon Albarn said in an interview that they intentionally set out to make an English record. The more English the better. Those of you giving out all those twos should be giving this a second listen. And listen to the whole CD not one tune. I'm not English but I get it. Maybe it was all those years listening to the Kinks.

Connotations? The total number of Americans who know the word "fey" even exists is approximately six. Its the same ones who consider Marmite an edible substance. Pazzat wrote:
Fey?!?! I'm not a great fan of this album - I think the band's line-up promised more - but how can you call this 'fey'? Maybe the word has different connotations in American English to English English.

I first heard these guys on a podcast where they played a live gig in Washington DC. I was immediately intrigued and craved more. The more I listen the more I like. 8 I do chuckle when I hear the criticism of them sounding British or English. Bands like; The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Queen, Cream, Oasis (oh I'll get flack for adding them in this list), The Kinks, The Who, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Smiths, and Radiohead do tend to come to mind. No, I'm not British.

Fey: elfin, fairylike. Maybe "effete" would be a better word.
I find the album as a whole way too dark and sinister for eithe fey or effete to work.
