1) Spoon is an American indie rock band from Austin, Texas. The band was formed in late 1993 by lead singer/guitarist Britt Daniel and drummer Jim Eno. Current members also include: Eric Harvey (keyboard, guitar, percussion, backing vocals) and Rob Pope (bass, backing vocals - replaced Joshua Zarbo in 2007).
After releasing their debut LP Telephono on Matador Records, the band signed with Elektra in 1998, but the contract was dropped soon after the band released A Series of Sneaks. In response the band released a two-song single titled The Agony of Laffitte (referring to Elektra A&R man Ron Laffitte). Eventually they signed to Merge Records.
Spoon has been met with widespread critical acclaim. Girls Can Tell, released in 2001, sold more copies than both their previous releases combined. Kill the Moonlight accomplished the same feat a year later. Gimme Fiction was released on May 10, 2005 and continued the trend of increasing popularity for the band.
Britt Daniel wrote much of the soundtrack to the 2006 film Stranger Than Fiction. Four tracks by Spoon are also featured.
The band released their sixth studio album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga on July 10, 2007; those who purchased the first pressing also received a bonus disc titled Get Nice!.
Transference is their seventh studio album. It was released on January 18, 2010 in Europe, and on January 19 in North America, to moderately positive reviews.

Trouble Comes Running
Spoon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was in a functional way
And I have my brown sound jacket
Queen of call collect on my arm
She was my calm-me-down
She was my good-luck charm
She was my good luck

Here it come running

Here it come running again
Trouble come running
Here it come running again

Well alright
I got taken away
By a heavenly host
To a heavenly place
I didn't wanna leave
I would not be swayed

But here it come running
Here it come running again
Trouble where the kids are
Here it come running
Well are you picking up?
Are you picking up what I'm putting down?
Putting down
Running, here it come running
Ah, running again

Well done
I was in a functional way
And thinking clean clean thoughts
Effort just to keep my nose on
Just trying to look straight ahead
Don't wanna tell him he's wrong
Wanna tell him he's wrong

It come running
Here it come running
Where the kids are
Here it come running again
Slaves are on the horses
Princes walk the ground like they're slaves
Here it come running
Here it come running again
Running again
Running again

Running again
Ah, running

Overall Meaning

The Spoon's song Trouble delves into the idea of how hardship and difficulties often come back to haunt us no matter how much we try to escape them. The lyrics suggest that there's no running away from troubles as they will always come back to us. The verses provide snapshots of different moments when trouble comes knocking.

In the first verse, the singer talks about his "good-luck charm" who has helped him through tough times. However, the chorus reveals that even this charm couldn't keep trouble away for good. In the second verse, the singer has a vision of a heavenly place that he doesn't want to leave but trouble comes running back again.

The final verse talks about the effort involved in keeping one's head down and trying not to confront the difficulties. The line "Slaves are on the horses/ Princes walk the ground like they're slaves" suggests that sometimes the roles we play in our lives can be reversed by the challenges we face, ultimately making things worse.

Overall, the song is an ode to the inevitable and cyclical nature of hardship and struggle.
