Supreme
Robbie Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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?
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
Or 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 'em get you down
Everybody lives for love
Come and live a love supreme
Don't let 'em get you down
Everybody lives for love
Come and live a love supreme
Don't let 'em get you down
Everybody lives for love
Come and live a love supreme
Don't let 'em get you down
Everybody lives for love
Come and live a love supreme
Don't let 'em get you down
Everybody lives for love
Come and live a love supreme
Don't let 'em get you down
The song "Supreme" by Robbie Williams talks about the struggle of finding love in a world filled with loneliness and uncertainty. The lyrics seem to suggest that despite the overwhelming desire to find a perfect love, it can be difficult to find someone who reciprocates the same feelings. The song begins by depicting a sense of hopelessness where people seem to have given up on finding true love and have flown away to greener pastures. The next few lines highlight the challenges that people face in finding a partner, with all the good ones being taken, and the rest being seemingly undesirable.
The song then turns to talk about the personal struggles that come with the search for love. It talks about insecurities that people feel such as questioning one's size, and the possibility of a tumor in one's humor. The song also touches on the fear of aging and whether one will be able to survive without finding true love. Despite all these challenges, the song suggests that one must survive and believe that love exists, and that it will eventually come around.

Oh, it seemed forever stopped today
Today felt like it was going to last forever
All the lonely hearts in London
Every single person in London who feels lonely
Caught a plane and flew away
Left London in search of something better
And all the best women are married
The most desirable women are unavailable because they are already married
All the handsome men are gay
The most attractive men are not interested in women
You feel deprived
You feel like you are missing out on something others have
Yeah, are you questioning your size?
Do you feel insecure about yourself?
Is there a tumor in your humor?
Is there something wrong with your sense of humor?
Are there bags under your eyes?
Do you look tired and exhausted?
Do you leave dents where you sit?
Do you feel like you are a burden to others?
Are you getting on a bit?
Are you getting older?
Will you survive?
Will you be able to overcome these obstacles?
You must survive
You have to find a way to keep going
When there's no love in town
When it feels like there is no one to love
This new century keeps bringing you down
Modern life can be overwhelming
All the places you have been
Everywhere you have visited
Trying to find a love supreme
Looking for the perfect kind of love
Oh, what are you really looking for?
What is it that you truly desire?
Another partner in your life
Someone else to share your life with
To abuse and to adore?
Do you want someone who you can both hurt and love?
Is it lovey dovey stuff
Is it romance and affection?
Or do you need a bit of rough?
Or do you prefer something more raw and unrefined?
Get on your knees
Submit yourself to a higher power
Yeah, turn down the love songs that you hear
Stop listening to music that glorifies love
'Cause you can't avoid the sentiment
Because love is everywhere and hard to avoid
That echoes in your ear
That you constantly hear over and over again
Saying love will stop the pain
Promising that love can heal your emotional wounds
Saying love will kill the fear
Promising that love can make you less afraid
Do you believe?
Do you truly think that love can do those things?
You must believe
You have to believe in something in order to keep going
I spy with my little eye
I see something
Something beginning with (ah)
Something that starts with the sound 'ah'
Got my back up
I feel defensive
And now she's screaming
And now someone is yelling at me
So I've got to turn the track up
So I have to distract myself with music
Sit back and watch the royalties stack up
Relax and watch the money roll in
I know this girl, she likes to switch teams
I know someone who is bisexual
And I'm a fiend but I'm living for a love supreme
And even though I am obsessed with her, I am searching for perfect love
Come and live a love supreme
Experience perfect and fulfilling love
Don't let 'em get you down
Don't let other people bring you down
Everybody lives for love
Everyone wants to find love

Okay, hear me out make this viral.
In 2010, the World Cup in South Africa took place and with it many goals were scored. Me being 10 years old loved watching tournament goal compilations. This is when I first started watched bf the game and I fell in love with it. The quickest YouTuber to upload all the goals with an awesome organized format was named Tomscof. His channel is still up but he removed the World Cup goal compilations. I remember he had all the goals and I watched it alll the time because the songs were perfect. With it, I remembered all the songs which were:
Les Rockets- Don’t Stop
Kings of Leon- Red Morning Light
The Strokes- 12:51
Robbie Williams- Love Supreme
There was 1 more song I could not remember and it has been bothering me for 9 years. Please internet, let me relive my childhood one last time. All I know is that the song said “Dario” or “Mario”. It was mostly instrumental. Any theming helps

О, показалось, что вечность остановилась сегодня:
Все одинокие сердца в Лондоне
Сели на самолет и улетели,
А все лучшие женщины замужем,
Все красивые мужчины — геи
Ты чувствуешь себя обделенным.
Да, ты задаешься вопросом по поводу своего размера?
Отсутствует ли у тебя чувство юмора?
Есть ли у тебя мешки под глазами?
Вдавливается ли место там, где ты сидишь?
Стареешь ли ты понемногу?
Выживешь ли ты?
Ты должен выжить
Когда в городе нет любви,
Это новое столетие подавляет тебя
Все эти места, которые ты посетил,
Пытаясь найти величайшую любовь
Величайшую любовь
О, кого ты на самом деле ищешь?
Еще одного партнера в своей жизни,
Чтобы оскорблять и обожать?
Любовные отношения голубков?
Тебе нужно немного грубости?
А ну на колени!
Да, выключи песни о любви, которые ты слышишь,
Потому что ты не можешь избегать того чувства,
Которое отдается эхом в твоих ушах.
Говоря, что любовь остановит боль,
Говоря, что любовь уничтожит страх,
Ты веришь в это?
Ты должен верить
Когда в городе нет любви,
Это новое столетие подавляет тебя
Все эти места, которые ты посетил,
Пытаясь найти величайшую любовь
Величайшую любовь
Я вижу кое-что,
что начинается на (букву) .. (ах)
Она рассердила меня,
А теперь сама кричит.
Так что мне пришлось увеличить громкость
Сажусь и смотрю, как капает гонорар
Я знаю эту девушку, ей нравится менять команды2,
А я изверг, но живу ради величайшей любви
Когда в городе нет любви,
Это новое столетие подавляет тебя
Все эти места, которые ты посетил,
Пытаясь найти величайшую любовь
Величайшую любовь
Приходи и живи величайшей любовью
Не позволяй ей нанести тебе удар
Все живут ради любви

This song deserves more recognition. Brings back good memories. Elevates the senses. It makes me happy and nostalgic. I feel so old.
@ninels3963
This song was played in the office when I was applying for the US visa, and I got approved. Now, 22 years later I ve been here with the husband and two children, three dogs, a cat, and beautiful house. Life is so unpredictable!
