Well, we jumped all night on the trampoline
And when you kissed the sky it made your sister scream
You ate our chips
And you drank our Coke
Then you showed me mars through your telescope

Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh grace
Save your money for the children
Oh grace
Save your money for the children
Oh grace
Save your money, save your money

Well, you sang your songs and you made us laugh
So we captured you in a photograph
And when the stars came out your mother called your name
But when the morning comes we'll get together again

Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh Grace
Save your money, save your money, girl

Save your money
Save your money for the
Save your money for the children
You save your money for the children
Ahhhh

Get an, get an, get an, get an
Get an, get an, get an, get an
Get an, get an, get an, get an

Oh Grace
Save your money for the children
Oh grace
Save your money, save your money, girl

Everybody there's lovin' in part of the game

Grace was a girl that was at a BBQ where the band were. She had a T-shirt on that said "save you money for the children". I heard an interview on the BBC. I suspect she ate their chips and drank their coke too

Thanks!  Grace apparently made a big impression on the boys.

Yeah!! I dig this band!
yet ANOTHER RP epiphany for me.

I’ve lost count of how many musicians RP has introduced to me. Conservatively: thousands,

Long Live Radio Paradise!! 🎉🙏☮️

I'm not averse to a bit of Supergrass. I like their second album In It For The Money very much, but this track, while fun, is inessential.

I enjoyed the pop/rock of Supergrass, how they shamelessly borrowed from a long litany of mostly Brit pop icons (Bowie, TRex, Beatles, Dave Clark Five...) to maintain their slightly above the radar status these past 17 years. Never took off in the States but understand they had a much larger following throughout Europe. Musical differences again. How sad.
Posted 13 years ago by Quixmundi    [ Reply ]
Well, crap. I find a band that I can give a "9" to, and they split up.  RIP, Supergrass. I'll look for you in all your subsequent incarnations, and lament the once-whole.

It's all over for the "The Grass"...

4/13/10—Britpop veterans SUPERGRASS have finally called it a day - 17 years after forming.

And, yes, in the finest rock tradition they have blamed "musical differences".

The rockers broke through in 1995 with summer hit Alright - including the lyrics "We are young, we run free, Keep our teeth, nice and clean," - when they were fresh-faced youths.

The band, drummer DANNY GOFFEY, frontman GAZ COOMBES, bassist MICK QUINN and keyboard player ROB COOMBES, will play four farewell shows in June starting at Glasgow Barrowlands on June 8.

The group said: "We still love each other but, cliche notwithstanding, musical differences have led to us moving on."


 
Distressing news. At least they went out on top. Road to Rouen is one of the finest pop albums of the last decade. RIP.

That would be perfect, KALINEVE. Alas, my daughter's name is Claire. However, she turned 8 last week—and still digs her some Supergrass. I throw it on later-day mixes, just for good measure!

Man, I just started with Road to Rouen a few weeks ago and love it. I just started listening to In It For the Money this morning on the way to work, and my impression so far is that it is too wild. One man's ceiling is another man's floor, I suppose.

Plus, more drunk people. Yes, Almost Famous is (sort of) based on Crowe's entree into the music journalism biz, and the band in the film is purportedly meant to be like the Eagles--I've heard--with whom he toured early in his career.
