About The Universal

The Universal is a song by British band Blur and is featured on their fourth studio album, The Great Escape. It was released 13 November 1995 as the second single from that album, charting at #5 in the UK Singles Chart. The song has been used on TV advertisements for British Gas since 2009 (although it never re-entered the top 40). In keeping with the song's science fiction theme, the single's cover art is an allusion to the opening shot of 2001: A Space Odyssey .

The Universal Lyrics

[00:23.95] This is the next century
[00:29.25] Where the universal's free
[00:34.95] You can find it anywhere
[00:39.08] Yes, the future's been sold
[00:41.42] Every night we're gone
[00:46.42] And to karaoke songs
[00:52.43] How we like to sing along
[00:56.68] 'Though the words are wrong
[00:58.73] It really, really, really could happen
[01:03.80] Yes it really, really, really could happen
[01:09.92] When the days they seem to fall through you
[01:13.54] Well just let them go!
[01:34.38] No one here is alone
[01:39.67] Satellites in every home
[01:45.85] Yes the universal's here
[01:50.09] Here for everyone
[01:57.73] Every paper that you read
[02:02.77] Says: tomorrow's your lucky day
[02:07.36] Well here's your lucky day...
[02:09.65] It really, really, really could happen
[02:14.83] Yes it really, really, really, could happen
[02:20.65] When the days they seem to fall through you
[02:24.54] Well just let them go!
[02:32.90] Well it really, really, really could happen
[02:38.16] Yes it really, really, really could happen
[02:44.27] When the days they seem to fall through you
[02:47.81] Well just let them go!
[03:13.38] (Just let them go)
[03:36.85] (Just let them go)
[03:42.71]
