Girls & Boys (Blur Song)
"Girls & Boys" is a song by English alternative rock band Blur. It was released as the lead single from the band's third album Parklife. Charting at number five on the UK Singles Chart, "Girls & Boys" was Blur's first top 5 hit and most successful single until "Country House" reached number 1 the following year. The single was seen as a comeback for the band, who had had a lean commercial period for a couple of years. The song surpassed the band's previous commercial peak "There's No Other Way" by three spots on the UK Singles Chart, and saw the band achieve greater worldwide success. In the United States, it reached number fifty-nine on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and number four on the Modern Rock songs chart. To date, it remains Blur's highest charting single in the United States.

Famous quotes containing the words girls and/or boys:
“... the girls who came at dawn
To pay a visit to the young child, and how, when he grew up to be a man
The same restive ceremony replaced the limited years between,
Only now he was old, and forced to begin the journey to the sun.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“In time, after a dozen years of centering their lives around the games boys play with one another, the boys’ bodies change and that changes everything else. But the memories are not erased of that safest time in the lives of men, when their prime concern was playing games with guys who just wanted to be their friendly competitors. Life never again gets so simple.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
