Dar: Oh it seemed forever stopped today
All the lonely hearts in London
Caught a plane and flew away
And all the best women are married
All the handsome men are gay
You feel deprived
Yeah are you questioning your size?
Is there a tumour in your humour,
Are there bags under your eyes?
Do you leave dents where you sit,
Are you getting on a bit?
Will you survive
You must survive
When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme
Oh what are you really looking for?
Another partner in your life to
abuse and to adore?
Is it lovey dovey stuff,
Do you need a bit of rough?
Get on your knees
Yeah turn down the love songs that you hear
'Cause you can't avoid the sentiment
That echoes in your ear
Saying love will stop the pain
Saying love will kill the fear
Do you believe
You must believe
When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme
I spy with my little eye
Something beginning with (ah)
Got my back up
And now she's screaming
So I've got to turn the track up
Sit back and watch the royalties stack up
I know this girl she likes to switch teams
And I'm a fiend but I'm living for a love supreme
When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme
Come and live a love supreme
Don't let it get you down
Everybody lives for love
Come and live a love supreme
Don't let it get you down
Everybody lives for love
Comment or review
Dar: "Supreme" is a song by Robbie Williams released in 2000 as the third single from his album Sing When You're Winning, and is loosely based on the Gloria Gaynor classic I Will Survive because, according to Williams, he was in a trip in Switzerland and when it was approaching the new millennium, the tourists, although none speak the same language, were all humming the string solo of I Will Survive. The string instrument part is originally from the José Giovanni directed film "dernier domicile connu" starring Lino Ventura and Marlène Jobert
Reason submitted
Dar: The "Supreme" video, titled "Gentleman racers" as seen in its opening credits, is a tribute to British Formula One driver Jackie Stewart. Williams portrays the fictitious character Bob Williams, a rival driver competing for the F1 World Championship. The video includes stock footage of Stewart with Williams digitally inserted in many scenes, creating the near-perfect illusion of a neck-to-neck pursuit of the championship title. The video makes extensive use of the split-screen technique as it is often seen in movies from the 1960s and 70s, and the scenes with Robbie Williams were given a yellowed, grainy image texture in the digital editing process to match the faded look of the original 35mm celluloid footage with Jackie Stewart. As yet another movie cliche, fake newspaper headlines are shown intermittently to help narrate the story.
Probably one iof the best songs / lyrics / video from Mr Williams to date
What do you know about this artist or track that others may not?
Dar: The Video to Supreme was put together by Jackie Stewarts son Mark and his production company MSP
