Before the time of the morning sandman
I can find my way around
Soon be here at the borderline I guess
Armageddon coming down

And here lies a pretty state again
It's time to make a move on
Cos in three days I'll be out of here
And it's not a day too soon

Firelight, the light of love, burns
Turns to ashes in your hand
So to bed by the morning light I guess
I'm awake and understand

Set sail for St. Petersburg
Making use of my time
Cos in three days I'll be out of here
And it's not a day too soon

Head out to a better life
I can get a job, settle down
I'm full of love, of a full of feeling
I can't stand the here and now

Leave town for pity's sake you know
It's time to make a move on
Cos in three days I'll be out of here
And it's not a day too soon
Yeah, three days I'll be out of here
And it's not a day too soon

This fantastic song has so many great things — stately strings and rhythms, bits of piano echoing Elliot Smith, smooth as silk vocals...




I Agree completely!  Thanx RP!

Hearing this I now have to go listen to the whole album.  Be back in about an hour Radio Paradise!

Gaz Coombes has a wonderful album out now called "World's Strongest Man".

Different from Supergrass but really, really good IMHO.

I thought "Mothers milk" was the "Road to Ruin" - or according to Supergrass that should be Mothers MILF.

Why aren't these guys bigger? Too good? Too ahead of things? Too obscure?

The bass player sleep-walked out of a first floor window and broke his back. Maybe their next album title will be less portentous?

Kinda funny also that Superdrag just released an album called Changin' Tires on the Road to Ruin

Rouen: "A city of northern France on the Seine River west-northwest of Paris. Of pre-Roman origin, it was repeatedly raided by the Norse in the ninth century, became the capital of medieval Normandy in the tenth century, and was held by the English from 1418 to 1449. Joan of Arc was burned at the stake here in 1431. Population: 105,000." - freedictionary.com

Great album. I bought it after hearing it here on RP. I also like the cover - I used to do a lot of long-exposure photography.

Exactly. Rather than us contrbute to RP, maybe RP should subsidise the listeners, as we are compelled to go out and buy music we might otherwise not have heard, let alone bought. I take all usual cards, and cash. Especially cash. A$29.95 = US$23.21. Thank you.

The end of this sounded like it was segueing into Led Zeppelin's "Dazed and Confused" (the live version) and it being early in the a.m. that's what I was... err, it was.. the hell with it... nice sound... goodnight... good morning...

They have the appeal of something much further back. I really like it.

I really like Supergrass. The mood they convey is pretty great. ... hey I just heard a chord or two that reminded me of the Cure... hmmm

Whenever I hear the word 'Supergrasss' I keep thinking of that scene in Caddyshack when Carl Spackler is describing the hybrid turf he developed.
