Supergrass were an English alternative rock band from Oxford. The band consisted of brothers Gaz (guitar and lead vocals) and Rob Coombes (keyboards), Mick Quinn (bass and backing vocals) and Danny Goffey (drums and backing vocals).
Gaz Coombes, Mick Quinn and Danny Goffey formed Supergrass in 1993 in Oxford with Gaz's brother Rob Coombes officially joining the band in 2002. The band signed to Parlophone records in 1994 and produced I Should Coco (1995), the biggest selling début album for the label since the Beatles' Please Please Me. Their first album's fourth single Alright was a huge international hit that established the band's reputation. Since then the band have released five albums: In It for the Money (1997), Supergrass (1999), Life on Other Planets (2002), Road to Rouen (2005) and Diamond Hoo Ha (2008), as well as a decade-ending compilation called Supergrass is 10 (2004).
In August 2009 they signed to Cooking Vinyl and began work on 7th studio album Release the Drones. It remained unreleased and unfinished as, on 12 April 2010, the band announced that it was splitting up due to musical and creative differences. The group disbanded after four farewell gigs, the final one at La Cigale, Paris on 11 June 2010.
Take my love away
It's never gonna work for you
Well, he met her at night
You now that seeing is believing
I know the feeling was right
Well she couldn't stop screaming
And she swallowed it down
To the heart of the world
She's so loose
She's so loose
Take these wings away
They're never gonna work for me
Well he met her at night
You now that seeing is believing
I know the feeling was right
Well, she couldn't stop screaming
It's getting harder again
In the heart of the world
You know he met her at night
You now that seeing is believing
I know the feeling was right
Well, she couldn't stop screaming
And she swallowed it down
To the heart of the world
