“Este vídeo fue realizado por el director Damien Hirst, que había sido compañero de Coxon y James en sus tiempos de estudiantes en el Goldsmith’s College. El vídeo representa la parodia de un concurso televisivo con una casa en el campo como premio, incluyendo guiños a Benny Hill y describiendo con ironía la placidez de la vida en el campo. El resultado final causó polémica en grupos feministas y disgustó al propio Graham Coxon, cuya novia era una excomponente del grupo feminista Huggy Bear.”

I know you can still slightly hear it in the background, I’m not magic you know
Lyrics:
And so the the story begins
City dweller, successful fella
Thought to himself oops I’ve got a lot of money
I’m caught in a rat race terminally
I’m a professional cynic but my heart’s not in it
I’m paying the price of living life at the limit
Caught up in the centuries anxiety
It preys on him, he’s getting thin
He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country
It’s like an animal farm lot’s of rural charm in the country
He’s got morning glory, life’s a different story
Everything going jackanory, in touch with his own mortality
He’s reading balzac, knocking back prozac
It’s a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
Oh it’s the centuries remedy
For the faint at heart, a new start
He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
He’s got a fog in his chest so he needs a lot of rest in the country
He doesn’t drink smoke laugh, takes herbal baths in the country
Says she’s come to no harm on an animal farm in the country
In the country, in the country
Blow, blow me out I am so sad, I don’t know why
Blow, blow me out I am so sad, I don’t know why
He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country
Oh, it’s like an animal farm lot’s of rural charm in the country
He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
He’s got a fog in his chest so he needs a lot of rest in the country
He doesn’t drink smoke laugh, takes herbal baths in the country
And she’s come to no harm on an animal farm in the country
