About This Track
'Tame' by Blur is a rock track from 'The Great Escape (Special Edition)'. Released in 1996, it sounds cool and observant, with lyrics that set a morning scene of clear skies and passing planes, then slide into a conversational uncertainty about what to do next. The narrator seems to be negotiating with someone or something, asking for permission to move through, before landing on the insistently repeated line “Tame, tame, tame”. The overall impression is gently pushy, as if bright weather and routine travel are only the surface of a more nervous exchange.
"Tame" is a track by Blur, from the album The Great Escape (Special Edition), released 12th February 1996. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Blur.
