The Clash - Lost in the Supermarket (Official Audio) 

My teacher printed off these lyrics and gave them to us to study as a poem. It wasn't until after that he told us that it was a song by the clash. Fell in love with the band ever since then

If this was the only song they ever created they would still be one of the greatest bands ever.

j ai 58 ans français...j étais ado a l époque..ce groupe a marqué ma jeunesse et meme maintenant je me lasse pas et jamais d écouter ce qui reste a mes yeux un des plus grands groupes rocks all time...cette chanson n a pas une ride.....merci messieurs en ces temps troubles....paris france mars 2024

"I empty a bottle, I feel a bit free". A heart-rending line.

This song is almost 50 years old and is not even in my native tongue, but this is the only song with lyrics I can really relate myself to. The emptiness of mundane suburban life, with a soft melancholy riff that somehow stings...it's just perfection!

This song is like the godfather of all modern indie rock

This song makes me want to sob. The feeling of the end of childhood. The feeling right after you finish a long TV show. The feeling right before or after a breakup. The feeling of the summer between high school and college. Walking home after the last day of school.

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

God, what an amazing song. It captures so many ideas and emotions within: the vapidity of modern society, and the alienation and isolation it causes, issues with depression and social anxiety that arise out of said alienation, the works. Truly, this is an all-time classic.

This might be one of the most ahead of its time songs ever. Everything from the drums and vocals to even the guitar tone is so modern sounding that if they released it as a modern indie song today, it would still sound fresh, and is still lyrically relevant. It’s a shame this song never got the same mainstream appeal as some of their other big radio hits because this track is incredible.

Best band of the 80's period!!!! These guys weren't just a bunch of pretty boys who looked good on fancy videos, but a real band who always had a great raw rock sound.

Thank you Ben Folds and "Over the Hedge" for introducing me to this banger when I was a child

The Clash- combined rock, punk, reggae, skaa so well!! the Best

I sing this song every time I go to the store. Some people get it, some don't.

[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

Underrated song.

If any song deserves a 3rd verse it's this one

I love the way Micks voice sounds, it's such a good song

Joe's vocals that come in at 2.36 ish gets me every time :)

I remember this song just appeared one day when I was listening in Spotify. I was passing through a really bad moment of my life and this song found me. I think this song saved my life and now I come to listen it again every time I feel lost in the supermarket. I love it

This song essentially sums up my relationship with society. A true Classic

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.

I love it when Strummer comes in with the backing vocals.

The Clash definitely one of my top five bands ever.

The genius of the Clash. A profound song about the supermarket - who knew. Can't believe it was so long ago though....where did all that time go??

One of the best intros in any song I've heard. It gets me every time.

Am I the only one dying for this song to be longer? That fade-out just leaves me wanting more :(

One of the greatest albums of all time.

The lyrics (whilst dark) are beautiful, they are both so personal and at the same time universal. It takes a special intellect/ sensibility to invoke those sorts of feelings.

This song was way, way ahead of it's time. Still very relevant in this day and age.

Always love the clash even when people talk shit, rolled with a girl I was madly in love with at Walmart, she was pushing my wheelchair while everyone was smiling and felt like a king , I miss her always and this gem brings me back stronger ..

This song should’ve been a hit every time I listen to it it gives me the chills

Came back to the movie “Over the Hedge” as a college student today and found this gorgeous song. I’ve always had an appreciation for this older music.

Sounds like everytime I go into a IKEA.

I love Mick's vocals

In the movie Over The Hedge there was a part where they played this song and I use to get mad hype singing it! and the fact that I now finally found it my life is complete!

"Long distance callers make long distance calls" I felt that line...

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.

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

I cant have a favorite Clash song. But this one is near the top. I was in a Aldi's yesterdayterday singing this

Message to all bassists: Open your ears wide and enjoy.

that bass at 3:18

The best song of all of their songs ever. God came down from the heavens and wrote this song. So glad the clash covered it from over the hedge.

Over the Hedge got this song in my head years ago, and it's still stuck there.

This song has new relevance in 2020.

One of the greatest albums ever

Dude, I just found this song after 7-8 years of looking for it... this was my favorite childhood song and now I can’t stop listening to it!

i hope that i can write a song that is even as half as good as this song is. what a fucking masterpiece. forever grateful for the simple fact of the clash’s existence.

Paul Simonon has such an unique style... touches me everytime. Thank you, Mr. Paul.

Sure it's one of the greatest protest song but it's THAT Bass line that makes the song so good...

I’ve always found solace in this song, in my darkest moments and my brightest. No matter where I was or who I encountered....I always had The Clash. The only band that matters!

This was the pinnacle of song writing when I was growing up and nothing can change that ever as it still is

The only band that matters.

The bass in this song is ducking outstanding

I can feel this song within my soul. As a lower-middle class kid growing up in French-speaking Canada. I can relate so hard to this!

The guitar in the verses is some of the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard

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

Paul smashing up his bass 😮😮😮

True. More than ever. :(

I love this song so much, one of the best of the album Ahead of its time

They live forever in music.

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

This song really chimes with me. When I was about 6 an ASDA opened near us; until then we shopped at our local CO-OP which was tiny. I wandered off from my parents and lost them. I started crying as I was so scared but one of the assistants found me and put a message out on the tannoy.

Greatest Record out ever! After years of craving I Finally got it on vynil whiile the Misssussss and I were on honeymoon !! Will Never forget that!!

hey, lad was the teacher a punk rocker in the 70's and '80s, i still am even the outfits too,...i'm in my mid-50's.........marius(punk rules).

I want to go back to those days. I miss it so much. Had the greatest time of my life then!

The best punk band

Clássico do the clash !

I'm obsessed with this

The greatest song of all time.

bless you joe

This song kinda sad to anyone else?

Always listen to this on bad days something about the melody makes the day seem easier, lighter, and more comfortable

101'ERS FOREVER !!!

40 years for this great song!

A quarantined personality. Jokes aside, I love this song and this album, the variety 🔥

I remember my dad playing this song for me for the first time when I was like 7. I listen to it now, and actually reading the lyrics, I relate to it more than ever

Quel jeu ! Quelle finesse, c'est le génie de la jeunesse, Anglais en la circonstance. Fantastique.

strummer writes about mick jones, mick jones sings a sond from strummer, perfect

Top 10 of song from The Clash.

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.

Fitting song for Black Friday

always loved the bass and guitar on this track

Best song ever!

This should be played at a Walmart

The only band that mattered.

This is an iconic album.

Topper is one of our greatest drummers EVER!!!!!!!!!! PERIOD!!!!!!

“We had a hedge back home in the suburbs/over which I could never see”

The scratchy guitar in this is amazing

still sounds fresh

“ I empty a bottle, I fell a bit free” Life mantra

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

best band ever. true Londoners

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.

Joe Strummer could have saved this sad, beautiful, confused world ❤

This song is timeless.

From the best Clash album.

The Clash. Perfection.

J'adore 😂❤1😂2
