Caught By The Fuzz

Supergrass

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

    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.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
