As we've recently added artificial grass to our product offerings, we thought we'd have a bit of fun compiling a list of songs with the word grass in the title.
Not in the lyrics as there'd be far too many and although an occasional one may have slipped through, not in the sense of the UK slang for marijuana or someone who tells about the bad deeds of another (also known as a snitch).

Band With The Word Grass In The Title
So which one was our favourite? There's a couple of golden oldies in there, but if we're honest, we hadn't heard of some of them.
So, can we cheat and choose a band with the word grass in the title?
In which case, it would have to be Supergrass, as featured above.
Artificial Grass
Well, thanks for visiting. And if you do happen to live on the Fylde Coast in England, perhaps give us a call about an artificial lawn.
Soft and comfortable to walk on, just like the real thing, but without the maintenance.
