They are underrated because the media at that time portrayed them as a trashy band that produce poppy catchy cheap music...and the only thing they have is their good looking face. Sad, they're truly brilliant. Fuck the media.

Blur are quite a misunderstood band. Most of their best songs were album tracks. Lots of people only know them for the singles but they dont tell half the story. My favourite band ever, their catalogue is up there with Bowie's and The Beatles.

I can see why you could think that. But I don't think he's been patronising about people stuck in dead-end jobs. He's talking about people in their 20s who are trying to find their way in life, through desperate nights out in London/Soho etc, and reflecting on the sadness and uncertainty that mixes with the lust for life. The 'London Yo-Yos' are the people out in the West End trying to find thrills, who usually end up in a come down cab or bus ride back home across the river.

It is striking how much this song and UTW have in common, musically and thematically. I like to think of UTW as a sequel to Best Days, Essentially, the same person (Damon) standing in the same place, but older, wiser and with a slightly different outlook. Both him and the world around him changed dramatically, yet everything somehow remains the same.

It could easily have been written by Damon looking at someone like Graham. From the outside most people would be saying "You're now a millionaire, you've won tons of awards, you should be the happiest man in the world", when under the covers Graham was trying to kill himself by jumping out of a window and getting run over by cabs in Camden Town!

Dunno, I guess I see it as someone (Blur) getting the message out to people. It's not just a song about the regular life, it's a critique of that life and maybe even a wake-up call - if you realize you're stuck going in circles, you now atleast have the option to stop or keep going. Going out on a limb, the tone of the song is mournful which might indicate he's not glad that these people are people stuck in a rut of their 'best days'. Possibly even a warning to the future generation? Who knows.

How do you work out that song is about that? From my point of view it's about the fear that Justine is about to leave him any day soon and he feels bad about moaning about his life because everyone thinks he (or the character portrayed in the song) seemingly seems to be living "the best days of their lives".
