The vid's not that recent but if you haven't seen it, it's worth a click (and a great intro to Supergrass if you're not familiar).
I first heard them when Edmund's Crown was on the way home from a gig in Memphis. David, our drummer, was like "you would really like these guys," and popped in the CD In It For the Money. I liked it from the first listen but it didn't sink in until a few days later when I had a song in my head that I couldn't place (and knew I hadn't written-it was way too good). The song was It's Not Me (there isn't a bad track on that record, which is their sophomore).
Anyway, I quickly acquired entire SG catalog and would soon be gleefully referring to myself as a fan and the band as an influence.
Here's a clip from last years Diamond Hoo Ha:
Also of note:
Supergrass has more than a few websites out there. One that's maintained by the band themselves includes a tour diary , featuring random pics of shows, dressing rooms, and what they ate at the airport.
They were mentioned in the Foofighter's artist rider as being one of the few bands they would share a dressing room with (the others being Oasis and Led Zeppelin).

PETE-Lyrics: Fall Into Your Arms
Well I tried but I just can't go on
I've been counting the days you're gone
And I long for the night
When you come home and I
Fall into your arms
I fall into your arms
I've been trying to go it alone
But I'm sinking just like a stone
And I long for the night
When you come home and I
Fall into your arms
I fall into your arms

But I'm sinking just like a stone
And I long for the night
When you come home and I
Fall into your arms
I fall into your arms

PETE-Lyrics: Help Yourself
I know you think without me you don't have a prayer
It's really not that I gave up on being there
I'll do anything you ask me to
But there are some things only you can do
Hear the bells?
(you're going to have to help yourself)
They're tolling for no one else
(you're going to have to help yourself)
The story that you're selling has another side
But no one ever could convince you otherwise
Tell it how it is and make it true
That's the one thing only you can do
Hear the bells?
(you're going to have to help yourself)
They're tolling for no one else
(you're going to have to help yourself)

PETE-Lyrics: How Do You Do It
How Do You Do It?
Everybody wants to know
However you do it
It really makes them love you so much
Your smile is everywhere I look
Your life is just like a story book
I thought they'd be tired of you by now
But you keep it burning bright somehow
How Do You Do It?
Everybody wants to know
However you do it
It really makes them love you so much
You're sweet but you're not exactly nice
I guess that's why everyone looks twice
They'll never know what's behind those eyes
And wondering keeps them mesmerized
How Do You Do It?
Everybody wants to know
However you do it
It really makes them love you so much

PETE-Lyrics: Roll With It
You've got to roll with it
You've got to roll with it
You've got to fake a smile
and just get on with it
You've got to roll with it
You've got to roll with it
Sometimes you have to play
the game a little bit
Baby we both know it
Yesterday is gone
You've gotta face the music
If you wanna move on
Things that you can't change
Are better left alone
You've got to roll with it
You've got to roll with it
You've got to fake a smile
and just get on with it
You've got to roll with it
You've got to roll with it
Sometimes you have to play
the game a little bit

PETE-Lyrics: Let It Roll Off
Well you're talking like you know
But you don't know up from down
You want us all to think
That you're someone who's been around
And you're so eat up with guilt
You've got to put somebody down
And I can't let it roll off
I can't let it roll off
I can't let it roll off no more
Well you're trying to make me laugh
but I haven't smiled yet
and if I open up my mouth
I might say something I'll regret
Yeah I guess it's hard to know
When things are better left unsaid
But I can't let it roll off
I can't let it roll off
I can't let it roll off no more

PETE-lyrics: Sleeping Dogs
I don't want to think
about you all the time
I want nothing more than
to get on with my life
Sleeping dogs
I know I should
let sleeping dogs lie
Let sleeping dogs lie
I lie awake
deciphering the past
It all comes to nothing
I fall asleep at last
Sleeping dogs
I know I should
let sleeping dogs lie
Let sleeping dogs lie
