  • What's the point in building Avalon
    If you can't be happy when it's done?
    Who is in the race again
    Doesn't seem a long time since the last one?

    Wishing I could still make you happy
    Torn apart somehow
    Must be the waves we were carried on
    Crashing on the shores of Avalon

    Then grey-painted aeroplanes fly over
    On their way to war
    And I'm dialling in, I'm dialling out
    There's darkness at the door
    Then I overdo my dose and I don't even know I'm here anymore
    It's just something that comes to us all

    What's the point in painting Avalon
    If you can't be present when it's done?
    Who is in the vale again
    Picking up the apples of Avalon?

    Then grey-painted aeroplanes fly over
    On their way to war
    And I'm dialling in, I'm dialling out
    But the glass is still half full
    Then I overdo my dose and I don't even know I'm here anymore
    It's just something that comes to us all Writer/s: Damon Albarn, David Rowntree, Graham Coxon, Steven James
