Caught by the fuzz
Well I was, still on a buzz
In the back of the van
With my head in my hands
Just like a bad dream
I was only fifteen
If only my brother could be here now
He'd get me out, he'd sort me out alright
I knew I should have stayed at home tonight
Locked in the cell, feeling unwell
I talked to a man
He said it's better to tell
Who sold you the blow
Well it was no one I know
If only you'd tell us we'd let you go
We'll make it up for you, my son
So tell us what you know
We'll make you wish you'd stayed at home tonight
Here comes my mum, well she
She knows what I've done
Just tell 'em the truth
You know where it's from
You've blackened our name
Well you, you should be ashamed
If only your father could see you now
He'd breakdown and he'd throw you out for sure
I never should have let you out tonight
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight), tonight
Well I was, still on a buzz
In the back of the van
With my head in my hands
Just like a bad dream
I was only fifteen
If only my brother could be here now
He'd get me out, he'd sort me out alright
I knew I should have stayed at home tonight
Locked in the cell, feeling unwell
I talked to a man
He said it's better to tell
Who sold you the blow
Well it was no one I know
If only you'd tell us we'd let you go
We'll make it up for you, my son
So tell us what you know
We'll make you wish you'd stayed at home tonight
Here comes my mum, well she
She knows what I've done
Just tell 'em the truth
You know where it's from
You've blackened our name
Well you, you should be ashamed
If only your father could see you now
He'd breakdown and he'd throw you out for sure
I never should have let you out tonight
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
Tonight (tonight), tonight

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
jeeezzz.... he's blatently signing about cocaine, "who sold you the BLOW", sorry SamJG, u best go top yourself
This song is about exactly what it says - he was arrested with a small amount of weed and, as he was from a somewhat middle-class family his parents were shocked and appalled. Creepily enough, exactly the same thing happened to me when I was 15. And the Police call weed 'blow'. That's what they called it when I was in this situation. It's one of those things that some people just say differently. The term 'blow' for cocaine is generally an American term anyway
BTW 'I Should Coco' is an awsome album
It should be "Well I was still on a buzz".
Brilliant song.
If anyone doesn't understand this song, top yourself, its rather obvious.
The song's about being caught with weed when you're 15...ah memories.
Most Supergrass songs are about teenage years and having fun, this one is no exception.
You should top yourself then you smart ass prick because 'blow' is cocaine not weed. Dumb fuck
isnt blow heroin?
I doubt its heroin but who knows, I always assumed it was either weed or crack.
Supergrass website says it's narcotics - you choose!
I go to the school that supergrass went to wheatly park.
I have been informed by a "certain" ex-pupil that this song is about when he was kicked out of school for doing cocaine in the school toliets (nick-named "the van").
And yes most supergrass songs are about their childhood times.
yeah 15 does seem young for cocaine, even for rock stars
