Blur are back in business, and they premiered a new song, their first since 2010. The track is titled "Under The Westway", and it was debuted at the 2012 pre-Brit Awards fundraising gig in London.

Blur – Under The Westway Lyrics

There were blue skies in my city today
everything was sinking, said snow would come on Sunday
the old school was due
and the traffic grew, upon the west way
where I stood watching comets lonesome trails
shining up above me the jet fuel it fell
down to earth
where the money always comes first
and the sirens sing.

Bring us the day they switch off the machines
‘cos men in yellow jackets putting adverts inside my dreams
An automated song
and the whole world gone
Fallen under the spell of the distance between us when we communicate
Still picking up short wave somewhere they’re out in in space. It depends
how you’re wired, when the night’s on fire
Under west way

Now its magic arrows hitting the bull,
Doing 180 still standing at last call,
when the flags coming down,
and the last post sounds, just like a love song
For the way I feel about you
Paradise’s not lost, it’s in you
on a permanent basis I apologise
but I am going to sing

Hallelujah, singing out loud, and sing it to you
Am I lost out at sea, til a tide wash me up off the west way.
