@Thursday0987 because the only song from them anyone in the US ever saw from them was "pumpin on your stereo". if thats the only vid you see from them who is going to take them seriously. i mean that canada music station that use to be on played "mary" but it wasnt played anywhere near as much as "POYS" was played.
the organs and the melody ,are simply magical ,as though they were sent down from the rock gods(hall and oates),no but really this song should be used in the opening or a cool seen in a movie ,sometimes i feel like i,m in a movie when driving in the car and rockin it ,thats all. rock on everybody!
I am now reminded of how much of an impact this band and specifically this album had on me in my teenage years. Great song, great band. Wish there were more like em these days. They will be missed.
when this came out in the states, i saw the unedited version as uk censors said it was... too gory for BBC? fact or fiction? either way, i love this tune
i've been looking for this song for years, i googled the lyrics i could remember a couple of years ago but couldn't find it & it popped into my head out of the blue the other day and i thought i'd try find it again and now it's everywhere. then grace started playing after it and i thought i've never heard this song so i'll listen to it and i remembered it instantly but didn't know it was them that sang it
I went to a Foo Fighters concert in July, and Supergrass was the opening band, and they are sooo good. I'd never heard of them before, but I looked them up afterwards. They're even better live, and I looooove this! Definitely worth seeing.
Watching the video (especially the 2nd scene), and reading the lyrics, it's really hard to imagine this is the same band who made the song, "alright". That was really happy, and upbeat, whereas this one is quite creepy and dark. Not that I'm complaining, of course.
this is one the reasons i love suppergrass, they can make songs that are fun and light hearted like "alright" and "pumping on your stereo" and also things that are a lot more serious and thought provoking like this song and "late in the day",
gaz coombes is a good enough and clever enough songwriter to make it about BOTH things and more and to leave us lot arguing over the connotations for as long as we want to
wish i had more room but here goes. mary is a common synonym for bud, push over into the (blood) stream, the color green mentioned in an otherwise somewhat random line, stories one wouldn't understand (aka stoner babble), eating/munchies, by far the most obvious is the "head like falling masonary" masonary - stones. falling masonary, stones thrown, or, getting stoned. the puppet machine stuff could be referring to the typical stoner feelings of "rebellion." could go on, but i'm outta room :3
we studied this video in media for a bit, and apparently, the song is about domestic violence and like basically the abuser in this video is house presenting beaters. which i thnk is quite clever!
Yeah, saw them last Tuesday in Grand Rapids with Foo Fighters. Great band really and wish they had played more songs. I dunno if they cut off short but a couple assholes at VanAndel threw beer up on the stage. Gaz kicked the one cup off stage like he was pretty pissed. Don't blame him really. I wouldn't mind seeing them as a headliner really as long as they played stuff like Mary, Bad Blood, Sun hits the Sky etc.
But if I'm damn right about the fact that you agree that I'm damn right about the damn rightedness of your damn right then surely that is totally damn right?
Seriously...they censored this????
