According to the Alright Songfacts, the video, which featured the band larking about on bicycles and a giant flying bed attracted Stephen Spielberg's interest so much, he offered Supergrass a The Monkees type TV show. They turned him down.
Travie McCoy's 2010 single "We'll Be Alright" was inspired by the Supergrass song "Alright". The chorus lyrics are slightly different: Supergrass sings "We are young, we run green, keep our teeth, nice and clean, see our friends, see the sights, feel alright"; Travie McCoys sings "we are young, we run free, stay up late, we don’t sleep, got our friends, got the night, we’ll be alright".

Supergrass Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep our teeth nice and clean
See our friends, see the sights
Feel alright
We wake up, we go out
Smoke a fag, put it out
See our friends, see the sights
Are we like you?
I can't be sure
Of the scene, as she turns
We are strange, in our worlds
But we are young, we get by
Can't go mad, ain't got time
Sleep around if we like
But we're alright
Got some cash, bought some wheels
Took it out 'cross the fields
Lost control, hit a wall
But we're alright
Are we like you?
I can't be sure
Of the scene, as she turns
We are strange, in our worlds
But we are young, we run green
Keep our teeth nice and clean
See our friends, see the sights
Feel alright
Are we like you?
I can't be sure
Of the scene, as she turns
We are strange, in our worlds
But we are young, we run green
Keep our teeth nice and clean
See our friends, see the sights
Feel alright
The lyrics to Supergrass's song Alright suggest that the singers are young, carefree, and living in the moment. They sing about seeing their friends and experiencing new things, implying a sense of exploration and wonder about the world around them. Despite acknowledging their differences from others, they express a level of non-conformity as well, suggesting that they march to the beat of their own drum. They cannot be too sure of what is happening around them, as they are in a state of unfamiliarity, but they do not let it hold them back.
The chorus "But we are young, we run green, Keep our teeth nice and clean, See our friends, see the sights, Feel alright" reiterates the message of living in the present with acceptance of life's imperfections but choosing to embrace the journey. They acknowledge their youth and their lack of time to dwell on mistakes, but they are fine with it. The second verse talks about embracing the excitement of new experiences and enjoying things that may be frowned upon by others. The final verse talks about taking risks and accepts how life can be unpredictable and how they may get into accidents.
Overall, the lyrics of "Alright" paint the picture of youthful exuberance, fun, and life experiences that make being young worth it. It is a reminder to embrace life, take risks, and live in the moment because it is alright.
