About This Track

'Cheapskate' by Supergrass is a Rock song from the album 'In It for the Money' (1997). The lyrics are urgent and forward-leaning, with the speaker trying to get closer to someone who feels volatile, pledging attention while insisting they are “breaking into life”. There is a restless search for an emotional high, followed by the plea to be stopped, before the refrain returns to the idea of playing with fire. The overall mood is impatient, like desire colliding with self-control.

"Cheapskate" is a single by Supergrass, from the album In It for the Money, released 20th April 1997. The track is 2:43 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 7 articles about Supergrass.

Lyrics

Cheapskate

Lift me up, and move a bit closer
Holding on to what I know
She's the one who plays with fire
I see a side you'll never know

I need someone to be around
'Cause I'm breaking into life
Somebody stop me
'Cause I'm looking for my, looking for my high

She's the one who plays with fire
I see a side you'll never know

I need someone to be around
'Cause I'm breaking into life
Somebody stop me
'Cause I'm looking for my, looking for my high

I need someone to be around
'Cause I'm breaking into life
Somebody stop me
'Cause I'm looking for my high

Yeah, you and me, yeah
Now I'm breaking through the door
Somebody stop me
'Cause I'm looking for my, looking for my
