Clash, The - Lost In The Supermarket Lyrics






[Chorus]
I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for that 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

[Chorus]

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

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

[Chorus]

And it's not here
It disappeared
I'm all lost

Clash, The Lost In The Supermarket Comments
  1. e.... s....

    crying so hard thinking of my dad...I love you pop and I can't believe we'll never listen to this together again.

  2. E.... .....

  3. k.... G....

    most favorite song

  4. O.... W....

    This song is really great for an existential crisis, and for my mental health

  5. w.... ....

    My favorite song by The Clash. I recently read a user’s review of London Calling on rateyourmusic.com and he said it completely shattered and changed his perception of punk rock forever. For me, when I first heard it, about 20 years ago, I had never really listened to punk before, so instead, it completely shattered and changed my perception of rock music as a whole forever. That fucking brilliant.

  6. j.... ....

    Classic and unusual Clash song. Lyrically it could have been written by Polystyrene

    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

    Scream and fight most scarily
    Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling

    my mom: *calls me on phone* wHeRe ArE yOu
    me: *plays lost in the supermarket*

  29. K.... L....

    unpopular opinion: clash are not very famous and it's shame they aren't

    K.... L....

    I mean, they're one of the most renown puck bands ever, "Rock The Casbah" and "Should I stay or Should I go now?" are pretty well known, and this album is considered one of the best of all time by critics. For a band that's been defunct for ~35 years now, that's pretty good!

    K.... L....

    @Joseph Corridon they're know just for that two songs

    K.... L....

    @Kenneth Lee I used to hear train in vain, guns of Brixton, and London calling with some frequency in the radio

  30. Z.... ....

    Me in the ikea

  31. R.... J....

    Don't you just hates when that happens ?

  32. L.... A....

    Who is listening this i November 2019

    L.... A....

    Yeah bro

    L.... A....

    Listening on Black Friday on purpose.

    L.... A....

    december 2 2019, even

    L.... A....

    December 16, 2019

  33. n.... ....

    I remember my sophomore year english teacher claimed this song was a statement about the bourgeois

    n.... ....

    "I'm lost in the supermarket
    I can no longer shop happily
    Came in hete for a special offer
    Down with the bourgeois"

  34. G.... G....

    Best possible socialist title for the song.

  35. D.... W....

    I don't know why but 1979 was s great year for music. This album carried several classics like this one. It sure doesn't sound like a 40-year song.

  36. H.... t....

    Sounds like everytime I go into a IKEA.

    H.... t....

    I get ikea ptsd from this song

    H.... t....

    I'm sorry to hear that.

    H.... t....

    Object Class: Euclid

  37. A.... a....

    This sounds sick at .75 and 1.25




    But the sickest is noraml, have a nice day😌

  38. K.... M....

    The only band that mattered.

    K.... M....

    And still does ;)

  39. N.... -....

    voll geil :-P ^^ lost in the supermarket :-P^^ hihi ... i found the orange juice ...

  40. R.... L....

    listens to this at 0.75 speed and dissociates

  41. G.... ....

    One of those songs that has an undeniably catchy tune, but when you examine the lyrics as well as the context of the songwriting, it’s actually pretty depressing. Amazing song.

  42. D.... W....

    They played this at food city in Galax, VA lol, I had to share that

  43. d.... ....

    If you thumbs down this music you have no clue what real music is all about

  44. m.... b....

    Got lost in asda supermarket at carcroft once.....terrifying!!!

  45. D.... C....

    I don't know why I am commenting this here but I fucking hate Green Day.

  46. N.... ....

    I wish the clash had a lot more songs like this but I do love the other stuff they've put out either way, just much punchier. Know any good similar songs or lesser known bands with similar style to this?

  47. M.... B....

    Really paints the picture. Doesn't it do it most scarily ? Guess who really wrote this song.

    M.... B....

    Joe strummer?

  48. f.... 2....

    Over the hedge

  49. J.... P....

    I have this in my head every time I go shopping .....

    J.... P....

    It could just as well prevent you from going shopping.

  50. T.... T....

    i came from joe

  51. M.... M....

    The uncertainty of this song reminds me of what it's like living with social anxiety and depression.

    M.... M....

    why it reminds you that? it's not about it

    M.... M....

    @Kenneth Lee I think that's a legit interpretation. Crazy consumerism in our societies surely is a good friend of depression. You don't matter as a person because the point of the world you live in is to make money and buy things. At first you think you're happy because you have material things, but then you begin to understand that life is more than that and that you can't buy happiness/serenity with money. After that epiphany, it's easy to fall in a state of chronic depression, which is due to our without-morals and capitalistic society.

    M.... M....

    @Tatiana Williams yes i think so

    M.... M....

    Kenneth Lee Not related, but great profile pic \m/

    M.... M....

    @Tatiana Williams thanks even thought i was loking for changing it

  52. S.... M....

    Who else came to listen to this to compare this to Ben Folds' cover from Over the Hedge?

  53. G.... o....

    Jesus Christ I am so glad that dumb little animation showed me this amazing song, I love it so much, Thanks dog of wisdom dude

  54. J.... S....

    Very relevant song rn

  55. C.... S....

    Grand statement of alienation by our Mick

  56. K.... W....

    Best song ever

  57. j.... v....

    Love the clash

  58. j.... ....

    0:46 "We had a hedge back home in the suburbs, over which I never could see" I bet Mick Jones took this line from The Wages of Fear film.

    j.... ....

    Joe Strummer wrote it.

  59. J.... K....

    Me at 5 years old

  60. J.... S....

    One of the Clash's best songs and imo One of the best songs of all time

  61. L.... C....

    walking thru the grocery store i kind of wanted this song played over the shitty speakers they had


    but no it played 2000's pop
    true hell

    L.... C....

    I think a song about the emptiness of consumerism doesnt sell product

  62. a.... S....

    Who else is happy this is a animation

  63. �.... �....

    My childhood :(

  64. a.... ....

    I wish I could hit the like button as many times as I wanted to!

  65. Y.... C....

    Mick Jones is the greatest guitarist of all time. A guy who served the music and never showed off rather than innovated.

    Y.... C....

    In my humble opinion Randy Rhoads holds that offer

  66. J.... C....

    I wasn't born as much as I fell out - what a line, some of Joe's lines rival that of Dylan, the number of various styles similar (but not quite their) to the likes of Beatles, political message with timeless music = The Only Band that Matters.

  67. N.... D....

    On a Sunday afternoon can't get better what a day 👍

  68. s.... ....

    Best song from "the Clash".

  69. S.... *....

    *The Song of Merry Christmas and December.*

  72. N.... ....

  73. H.... C....

    Why have I only just discovered this amazing song?

  74. G.... B....

    Classy Clash song.

  75. B.... ....

    Only real people know "IN THE MARKET"

  76. o.... i....

    The best clash song

  77. P.... g....

    I’m so proud that the clash made it playing this on an little tape player when it first came out

  78. M.... T....

    Like a fine wine.

  79. B.... F....

    Kinda glad this is underrated

  80. E.... ....

    My fav. of the Clash! really love it!

  86. F.... G....

    [Chorus]
    I'm all lost in the supermarket
    I can no longer shop happily
    I came in here for that 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

    [Chorus]

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

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

    [Chorus]

    And it's not here
    It disappeared
    I'm all lost

  87. Y.... m....

    fucking beautiful song, the clash are fucking epic, I think underrated in many ways, and Joe Strummer we need you and miss you dearly.

  88. C.... ....

    my theme song

  89. B.... ....

    I'll play this out loud next time when I go to Food4Less and can't find what I'm looking for :v

  90. T.... G....

    I thought I heard every Clash song. I never knew they were so oblivious to marketing. Looks like everyone likes coupons. Aspie at the store.

  91. �.... ....

    Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  92. M.... O....

    I must have listened to this 600 - 1,000 times in high school. It had come out 2-3 years prior, and I felt so disconnected to my parents who were such perfectionists. I really appreciate this song.

  93. B.... B....

    Good songs were made broke by the Clash and nothin' after-wards! :))
