Ben Folds - Lost In The Supermarket Lyrics






I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for the special offer
A guaranteed personality

I wasn't born so much as I fell out
Nobody seemed to notice me
We had a hedge back home in the suburbs
Over which I never could see

I heard the people who lived on the ceiling
Scream and fight most scarily
Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling
That's how it's been all around me

I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for the special offer
A guaranteed personality

I'm all tuned in, I see all the programs
I save coupons from packets of tea
I've got my giant hit discotheque album
I empty a bottle and I feel a bit free

The kids in the halls and the pipes in the walls
Making noises for company
Long distance callers make long distance calls
And the silence makes me lonely

I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for the special offer
A guaranteed personality
I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for the special offer
A guaranteed personality
(I'm all lost)
I'm all lost in the supermarket
(I'm all lost)
I can no longer shop happily
(I'm all lost)
I came in here for the special offer
A guaranteed personality

    Pretty good remake of the original, by _The Clash._ I think it needed to be more chaotic, rather than a sad song.

  22. A.... A....

    Lose not loose. Loose means not tight.

  34. A.... ....

    I've had this song stuck in my head for the longest time, and when I found the clash and listen to there song Lost in the Supermarket and thought I found it. It didn't feel right until I found out It was a whole other song. This song from Over the Fucking Hedge.

  35. B.... B....

    The End

    B.... B....

    W.... M....

    W.... M....

    I’m just saying, Ben Folds put a lot of shine and polish on the original, I don’t know what you’re talking about.

  39. a.... ....

    THIS WAS IN OVER THE HEDGE IMLAIFJING

    a.... ....

    end credits

  40. J.... T....

    i love ben folds, but this was ill advised. he sounds like a privileged white guy -- the way sinatra would sound singing stevie wonder or beatles songs.

    J.... T....

    When it comes to the songs he provided for Over The Hedge, I'm pretty sure that's the point. It's meant to be very Rockin' The Suburbs-esque, I think.

    J.... T....

    The Clash were white guys and from what I can gather they didn't exactly grow up starving. Strummer's father was a diplomat.

    J.... T....

    Yeah, the clash was white weren't they?

    J.... T....

    Dude, the clash were white. Stop with that non existent crap, this was made before you people even made that fake term a thing

  41. u.... o....

    When u loose ur family in the supermarket

    u.... o....

    Itachi is my crow plays for 11 straight minutes in clarence

  42. K.... B....

    WHO'S THE ONE WHO PUT 1 DISLIKE?!?!?😡

    K.... B....

    NightGhostVA [FanYouTuberVA] not me

    K.... B....

    Or it’s 39 dislikes... 😡🥵

  43. K.... B....

    Man, Ben Folds is the Best!!!!

    K.... B....

    👻 I know right

  44. M.... ....

    Who's here from Great The Show ep 2

    M.... ....

    Mr Him are you lost?

    M.... ....

    I AM I AM

  45. S.... ....

    There's something about Ben Folds' music that I adore. It's really weird.

    S.... ....

    Chezmix I know, but there's something about the way Ben Folds is specifically covering the song that I really really like.

    S.... ....

    I guess. Personally tho I prefer the original (and that's rare for a cover with a horn section)

    S.... ....

    Maybe because it’s so good

    S.... ....

    Totally feel you, man.

  46. E.... G....

    Clash! more clash! haha.

  47. h.... d....

    (imitating police officer): Now, you do realize that was a Depelter Turbo?  (imitating Gladys): Officer, please.  It was that Verminator.  He sold it to me.  This has nothing to do with me.  (imitating police officer): Hey, hey, hey.  It was in your yard.  Your name's on a contract, so you can tell it to the judge.  (imitating Gladys): No, it's not my fault!  Let go of me!  I can't be arrested!  I'm the president of the homeowner's association!  (without imitating): Jimmy Kielbasa out.

    J.... K....

    Jimmy Kielbasa All these Bee Movie memes. I want Over the Hedge memes.

    J.... K....

    Really?  Well, okay.  Now you do realize that was a Depelter Turbo.  Officer, please.  It was that Verminator.  He sold it to me.  This has nothing to do with me.  Hey, hey, hey.  It was in your yard.  Your name's on the contract, so you can tell it to the judge.  No, it's not my fault!  Let go of me!  I can't be arrested!  I'm the president of the homeowner's association!  Jimmy Kielbasa out.
