Russian Strings Lyrics [Verse] Where are you now? Where are you now? Are you coming back to us? Are you online? Are you contactable again? Wear the blue lights Wear the red dress Puppet dancing on strings Balalaika and singing [Chorus] The tenement blocks come crashing down With headphones on you won't hear that much There's nothing fake on earth There are strings attached to all of us There's nothing in the end, only dust So turn the music up I'm hitting the hard stuff [Bridge] Flew to Belgrade Stayed in a hotel sinking Went to museums, tobacco, and midweek grave digger [Chorus] The tenement blocks came crashing down With headphones on you won't hear that much There's nothing fake on earth There are strings attached to all of us There's nothing in the end only dust When you pull the lever down I'll be hitting the hard stuff

I've heard the whole album, but I can't understand a lot of mature lyrics because I am too young and dumb. But this one is hitting me the right stuff. After all, I am like a coward puppet, putting the headphones to avoid tenement blocks crushing humming, hiding the newsfeed, hoping a few dear persons and I will survive (or at least they can do it without me). I can't stop this horror by energetic way because I'm too empty for this hard work and I know I won't stop it with my hands getting involved into the act because I am too soulless egoistic asshole (let this meaning here for the others, but there are something more) and I know it will be kind of different soon (a little bit of unsubstantiated optimism can help). In this morning Damon beat this animal and leading him into a lump in his throat. The man who quite well understand that can hit the right stuff to any lost soul. Thank you Blur, from Ukraine with love.

@@gmmgmmg There's an article with Damon where he discusses this Blur album and says that he feels that subconsciously Bowie lives on through him, and he finds himself channelling Bowie through his songs now. This is why I think the first five lines of the lyrics to this are to Bowie, mainly because of 'Where are you now', a nod to Bowie's famous 'Where are we now' single. No idea about the blue, blue, electric blue bit - I personally can't hear any similarity to Sound and Vision. I think the last track on the album, The Heights, is more Bowie. It uses the opening guitar chords to Space Oddity and Damon's vocals definitely do channel Bowie quite blatantly.
