 Rowntree stated that the band decided to give Coxon a much freer hand on Blur . Street also observed a change of Albarn 's writing style , as he " was much more prepared to write in the first person , rather than about interesting characters . I think [ Albarn had ] grown a bit and was prepared to start writing about his own experiences rather than transposing them on to a character like Tracy Jacks or Dan Abnormal . " Coxon agreed , and felt " Damon 's songs were revealing more to me than to him " and said that when he heard some of his home demos he realised " he 'd obviously gone off his head a bit more " . The album features the first song to appear on a studio album in which Coxon not only wrote the lyrics , but also sang lead vocal — " You 're So Great " .
