everything will flow

Written by Anderson/Oakes Produced by Steve Osborne, 1999 Song duration - 4:40 Track 4 on the album "Head Music" Suede's 16th single
Watch the early morning sun, drip like blood from the day, See the busy people run, so many games to play See the blue suburban dream, under the jet plane sky, Sleep away and dream a dream Life is just a lullaby Oh, and everything will flow Oh, you know everything will flow Oh... Watch the day begin again, Whispering into the night, See the pretty people play, Hurrying under the light, A million cars, a million trains, Under the jet plane sky Nothing lost and nothing gained Life is just a lullaby Oh, and everything will flow Oh, I said everything will flow Oh, you know everything will flow Oh... Oh, and everything will flow Oh, you know everything will flow The neon lights in the night tonight will say "everything will flow" The stars that shine in the open sky will say "everything will flow" The lovers kissed with an openness will say "everything will flow" The cars parked in the hypermarket know "everything will flow"

down

Written by Anderson/Oakes Produced by Steve Osborne, 1999 Song duration - 6:12 Track 5 on the album "Head Music"
All the people in your life say you're down And the strangers in the night say you're down And the loonies on the right say you're down You're down And the ambulances sigh that you're down And the traffic speeding by say you're down And the people in your mind say you're down, you're down Hey, you chase the day away, Hey, you draw the blinds and blow your mind away, There's a sadness in your eyes, And there's a blankness in your smile, And the people in the park say you're down, And the strangers in the dark say you're down, And the pissheads in the bars, say you're down, you're down And the audiences cry that you're down, And the ambulances sigh that you're down And the boyfriends and your love say you're down, you're down Hey, you chase the day away Hey, you draw the blinds and blow your mind away, There's a sadness in your lite, There's a madness in your smile Hey, you chase the day away Hey, you draw the blinds and blow your mind away, There's a sadness in your lite, There's a madness in your smile

asbestos

Written by Anderson/Codling Produced by Steve Osborne, 1999 Song duration - 5:17 Track 6 on the album "Head Music"
Watching all the women shaping, slimming Walking down the roads again Looking at the lovers under covers, come in and let's be friends Watching all the school girls breaking the rules, running round and having sex Watching all the women shaking slimming Come in and cash the cheques The suburban girls, and they're making noise And they're making eyes at suburban boys Watching all the lovers under covers, Watching all the roads bend, Listening to Lulu, Amazulea, come in and let's pretend Watching all the women shaking slimming Walking down the road again Scheming like a school boy watching you boy Come in and let's pretend The suburban girls, and they're making noise, and they're making eyes at suburban boys, at suburban boys, at suburban boys The suburban girls, and they're making noise, and they're making eyes at suburban boys The suburban girls, and they're making noise, and they're making eyes at suburban boys, at suburban boys, at suburban boys, at suburban boys

she's in fashion

Written by Anderson/Codling Produced by Steve Osborne, 1999 Song duration - 4:53 Track 7 on the album "Head Music" Suede's 15th single
She's the face on the radio, she's the body on the morning show, She's there shaking it out on the scene, She's the colour of a magazine And she's in fashion, she's in fashion, She's employed where the sun don't set and she's the shape of a cigarette And she's the shake of a tambourine and she's the colour of a magazine, And she's in fashion, and she's in fashion Oh and if she tells you 2 is 1 then 2 is 1 my love Oh and if she tells you you should know, then you should know my love, She is strung out on a TV dream, and she's the taste of gasoline, and she's as similar as you can get to the shape of a cigarette And she's in fashion (And the sunshine it blows my mind, and the wind blows my brain).

head music

Lonely skies, empty minds, we walk by to the rock and rhyme, I said, "Oh, come on do it again" City signs, business minds, we walk by with head hi-fi, you know oh, I wanna do it again And we loose it to the music, and we loose it to the beat and get stupid, come on loose it Cos it all means nothing to me So give me head, give me head, give me head music instead, You know oh is it all in the mind? Give me head, give me head, give me head music instead, You know oh yes it's all in the mind Kids get high, cities die, we just smile cos it's all inside You know oh yes it's all in the mind So come on loose it to the music and loose it to the beat and get stupid, come on loose it Cos it all means nothing to me come on come on So give me head, give me head, give me head music instead, You know oh cos it's all in the mind? Come on come on Give me head, give me head, give me head music instead, You know oh yes it's all in the mind Yes it's all in the mind

elephant man

Written by Codling Produced by Steve Osborne, 1999 Song duration - 3:06 Track 9 on the album "Head Music"
I love that deafening, thundering sound that sounds like buildings tumbling down And people wish that they weren't around When we all rock and roll into town We hear those fearful piercing screams The kind you find on cinema screens As if they're fit to burst at the seams If they could say what all of this means I am, I am the elephant man It is incredible how I can look just like just like an elephant man, just like, just like my elephant fans We love that satisfying, rattling crash, The sound of registers full of cash We'll be all over your town like a rash We'll steal your children and smoke all your hash I am, I am the elephant man, It is incredible how I can look just like just like an elephant man, just like, just like my elephant fans I love that deafening, thundering sound That sounds like buildings tumbling down And people wish that they weren't around When we all rock and roll into town I am, I am the elephant man, It is incredible how I can look just like just like an elephant man Just like, just like my elephant fans We are, we are the elephant men, Take heed, we'll be stampeding again Look out all of you fairweather friends Because elephants never forget

Open up my heart and see what's inside, Take a look inside me, inside my mind And you'll see my heart is broke in two 'Cos I've seen the real you Images of violence fill up my mind, And you see the silence feel it inside And you'll see my heart is broke in two Cos I've seen the real you So sad we seem, so far we've been She knows the scene And I see your heart is broken too, Cos I've seen the real you Seen the real you

he's gone

Written by Anderson/Codling Produced by Steve Osborne, 1999 Song duration - 5:35 Track 12 on the album "Head Music"
Tears on a pillow, eyes on the phone, you pour all the love that you keep inside into a song, Like "He's Gone", and these are the thoughts that you keep inside, You smile from your window, and stand all alone And pour all the love that you keep inside into the phone, into the phone, And like the leaves on the trees, Like the Carpenters song, Like the planes and the trains and the lives that were young, he's gone And it feels like the words to a song With the style of a widow, and a place of your own you pour all the love that you keep inside into the phone, and sit alone Cos these are the thoughts that you keep inside And you smile from your window and stand all alone and pour all the love that you keep inside into a song, into a song And like the leaves on the trees, Like the Carpenters song, Like the planes and the trains and the lives that were young, he's gone And it feels like the words to a song And like the stains on the names of the lives that were young, he's gone And it feels like the words to a song, And like the leaves on the trees, Like the Carpenters song, Like the planes and the trains and the lives that were young, he's gone And it feels like the words to a song And like the stains on the names of the lives that were young, he's gone And it feels like the words to a song, So gone, so gone....

crack in the union jack

Written by Anderson Produced by Steve Osborne, 1999 Song duration - 1:56 Track 13 on the album "Head Music"
Draw the blinds and watch the show, Heard it on the radio, saw it on the news today I heard the lonely people say "There's a great big crack in the Union Jack" "There's a great big crack in the Union Jack" Another day, another love, Another midday T.V. show, saw it on the news today, Heard the lonely people say "There's a great big crack in the Union Jack, There's a great big crack in the Union Jack, In the Union Jack."
