"Coffee & TV" is a song by Blur. It was written and sung by the band's guitarist, Graham Coxon. The song appears on the band's 1999 album, 13 and was released as a single in the same year. The single reached #11 in the UK singles chart, although only errors in counting singles sales deprived it of a top 10 place. It is a bit of an anomaly as far as 13 is concerned, and is considered a glance back at the britpop Blur days. It is widely considered one of their best tracks, both musically and lyrically, and this is backed up by its memorable video.
