And what is on my mind
Don't look down cause it's far to fall
Count the hours, face the fear
It's haunting me these days
We're past the post and through the door
We hail commercial suicide
Kiss the life you left behind
Don't let it bother you
You do what it takes to get what you can
Last night I thought about
Another life and what I'd do
It's hanging over me
I'm sure to break your loving heart
I'm dying to take a walk
Down this sugar coated sonic path
Cause I've been hanging around for hours
Staring at your hologram
Outside a northern harbour
Digging up the harder times
I might have known that you'd been
Tearing up the photographs
Standing on your holy ground
Lost sight of all I've done
Picking round for higher ground
Guests out in paradise
With China dolls and better times
The satellite is always overhead
It's watching you
You know it's living hell
I'm solid gone, coming for no-one, no-one, no-one

Supergrass are an English rock band formed in 1993 in Oxford. For the majority of the band's tenure, the line-up consisted of brothers Gaz (lead vocals, guitar) and Rob Coombes (keyboards), Mick Quinn (bass, backing vocals) and Danny Goffey (drums, backing vocals). Originally a three-piece, the band was officially joined by Rob Coombes in 2002.
The band signed to Parlophone Records in 1994 and produced I Should Coco (1995), the best-selling debut album for the label since the Beatles' Please Please Me. Their first album's fourth single, "Alright", was an international hit. The band went on to release five albums: In It for the Money (1997), Supergrass (1999), Life on Other Planets (2002), Road to Rouen (2005) and Diamond Hoo Ha (2008), as well as a compilation called Supergrass Is 10 (2004).
In August 2009, the band signed to Cooking Vinyl and began work on their seventh studio album, Release the Drones. The album remains unreleased and unfinished. On 12 April 2010, the band announced that they were splitting up due to musical and creative differences. The group disbanded after four farewell gigs, the final one at La Cigale, Paris, on 11 June 2010.
The band reformed in 2019, initially to perform at Pilton Party followed by a "secret" gig at Oslo in Hackney, London. The band made their final appearance of their reunion to date with a performance in honour of Foo Fighters' recently deceased drummer Taylor Hawkins at his tribute concert, performing some of Hawkins' favourite songs from Supergrass's catalogue. Hawkins had previously expressed his love of the band, and had even made a cameo drum appearance at one of their concerts.
To my 50-something year old ears this sounds like rock and roll.
but whatever you call it, I agree it is excellent
I'd settle for weed. But I have to say that I was in the middle of a really great Live Journal update when this came on, and I immediately thought, "Geez - this is SUCH a 10!) So, I'm bumping it from 9 to 10 - not just because of the name, but because the song itself pulled me out of a very deep and serious mind-space. Any song that can do that deserves a 10, in my opinion....
good idea
Bill's just showing off now... and I love it!
Supergrass absolutely nailed it with this album. There weren't many indie classics in the 2000's, but this is definitely one of them.
Not many Indie Classics in the 2000´s?? How about Calexico, Airbourne Toxic Event, The Killers, Midlake, Ana Ternheim, Travis, Eels, Flaming Lips, The Divine Comedy, Snow Patrol, Belle and Sebastian, Mando Diao, Wilco .... and i will remember more and more the longer i think about that!
So smooth I didn’t realize it had even happened...
Distant cousin?... Trampled under foot - Led Zep
100%,also came here to suggest they're channeling led zeppelin with this one
What a tune!
Love it! 😎🚀
