6. Coffee & TV

"Coffee & TV" is a 1999 song by the British rock band Blur. It was written by the band's guitarist, Graham Coxon, who also sang lead vocals, rather than frontman Damon Albarn. The song appears on Blur's sixth studio album, 13 and was the second single released from the album.

The lyrics describe Coxon's struggle with alcoholism and the song's video, featuring a sentient milk carton searching for Coxon, won several awards. Commercially, "Coffee & TV" reached No. 11 in the United Kingdom, but Blur's manager Chris Morrison believed that it was deprived of a top 10 place after it was confirmed that some sales figures were not recorded.



Out so far:

6th: Coffee & TV
7th: Beetlebum
8th: There's No Other Way
9th: End of A Century
10th: Charmless Man
11th: To The End
12th: She's So High
13th: On Your Own
14th: For Tomorrow
15th: No Distance Left To Run
16th: Country House
17th: This Is A Low
18th: Music Is My Radar

Song 2, Girls & Boys and Parklife are, for me, the three songs of theirs which I can really take or leave, probably moreso than Country House - annoying, overplayed, simple. It'd be disappointing to see ALL of them get into the top 3 ahead of songs as beautiful as Tender and The Universal.

Sorry, it's all relative at this stage, and Tender I like less than I like the others....though it was close with Girls & Boys.

Parklife is so full of uplifting vitality, The Universal is gorgeous, and Song 2 is an anthem, short and very sweet, so they need to be the top 3....
