Cracked up, stacked up, 22, psycho for sex and glue
lost it to Bostik, yeah.
Shaved heads, rave heads, on the pill, got too much time too kill
get into bands and gangs.
Oh, here they come, the beautiful ones, the
beautiful ones
loved up, Doved up, hung around, stoned in a lonely town
shaking their meat to the beat,
High on diesel and gasoline, psycho for drum machine
shaking their bits to the hits,
Oh, here they come, the beautiful ones, the

Like his dad you know that he's had
Animal nitrate in mind
Oh in your council home he jumped on your bones
Now you're taking it time after time
Oh it turns you on, on, now he has gone
Oh what turns you on now your animal's gone?
Well he said he'd show you his bed
And the delights of the chemical smile
So in your broken home he broke all your bones
Now you're taking it time after time
Oh it turns you on, on, now he has gone
Oh what turns you on now your animal's gone?
What does it take to turn you on, on
Now he has gone?
Now you're over 21?
Now your animal's gone?

Oh maybe maybe it's the clothes we wear,
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair,
Maybe it's our kookiness,
Oh maybe maybe it's our nowhere towns,
Our nothing places and our cellophane sounds,
Maybe it's our cheapness,
We're trash, you and me
We're the litter on the breeze,
We're the lovers on the streets,
Just trash, me and you,
It's in everything we do, it's in everything we do
Or maybe maybe it's the things we said,
The words we heard and the music we play,
Maybe it's our sweetness,
Oh maybe maybe it's the times we've had,
The lazy days and the crazes and the fads,
Maybe it's our cheapness,
But we're trash, you and me,
We're the litter on the breeze,
We're the lovers on the streets,
Just trash, me and you,
It's in everything we do,
It's in everything we do

There's a song playing on the radio
Sky high in the airwaves on the morning show
And there's a lifeline slipping as the record plays
And as I open the blinds in my mind I'm believing that you could stay
And oh if you stay I'll chase the rainblown fields away
We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun
Oh if you stay
We'll be the wild ones, running with the dogs today
There's a song playing through another wall
All we see and believe is the D.J. and debts dissolve
And it's a shame the plane is leaving on this sunny day
Cos on you my tattoo will be bleeding and the name will stain
But oh if you stay we'll ride from disguised suburban graves
We'll go from the bungalows where the debts still grow each day
And oh if you stay I'll chase the rainblown fears away
We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun oh if you stay
We'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today
We'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today

I feel real now walking like a woman

take it like a teenage tough,
And I feel real now talking like sugar
and shaking that stuff,
Singing "I can't get enough"
Singing "I can't get enough"
I feel schitzo everso psycho,
Kicking at an old tin can,
I feel real like a man, like a woman,
like a woman, like a man
I make deadspace feel like a head case
take it like a teenage tough
I feel real now watching those wheels
and shaking that stuff,
Singing "I can't get enough"
Singing "I can't get enough"
Singing "I can't get enough"
Singing "I can't get enough"
I feel real now walking like a woman
and talking like a stone age man
I feel real now talking like Buddha and

Smother me and gimme some of that bad stuff,
I feel real now talking like sugar
and shaking that stuff,
Singing "I can't get enough"

Singing "I can't get enough"
Singing "I can't get enough"

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"

Track 11 on the album "Singles"
Suede's 5th single
Not featured on any studio albums
Come to my house tonight
We can be together in the nuclear sky
And we will dance in the poison rain
And we can stay a while in Heaven today
Let's stay together
Let's stay, these days are ours
Let's die together?
Two hearts under the skyscrapers
There's a time bomb in the high rise
There's a blue suburban dream
Will I see you up in paradise
Or have you come to catch me?
Come to my arms tonight
Just you and me together under electric light
And she will dance in the poisoned den
Just you and me forever by the motorway there
Let's stay together
Let's stay, these days are ours
And we can stay together
Two hearts under the skyscrapers
There's a time bomb in the high rise
There's a blue suburban dream
Will I see you up in Paradise
Or have you come to catch me?
Come to my arms I'm lost
Just you and me together in the year of the horse
Single file in the nuclear night
And we could feel a little closer
As we tumble through the sky
Let's stay together, let's stay these days are ours
Let's stay together
Two hearts under a skyscraper
Let's stay together, let's stay in this broken down love
Let's stay together, two hearts under the skyscrapers
love the way you love

Track 12 on the album "Singles"
Originally was to be the lead single of "Singles"
I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you love me baby
I watch the sky and I watch the rain
I count the drops dripping down the drain
It takes 30 seconds to talk about my day
Hey hey
I sit and watch you on a video screen
Your legs and faces in a magazine
You're in these places so endlessly obscene
Yes I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you love me baby
I change the channels and lock my mind
I fantasize that you're really mine
But to step into the page it could be so nice
I analyze our relationship
I count the cost of the broken bits
I'd call you up but I can't find words that fit
I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you love me baby
I watch the sky and I watch the rain
I count the drops dripping down the drain
It takes 30 seconds to talk about my day
Hey hey
Yes I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you love me baby
I love the way you love me baby

Suede's 1st single
Won't someone give me a gun?
Oh, well it's for my brother
Well he writes the line wrote down my spine
It says "Oh do you believe in love there?"
So slow down, so slow down, you're taking me over
And so we drown, Sir we drown, stop taking me over
Won't someone give me more fun?
(and the skin flies all around us)
We kiss in his room to a popular tune
Oh, real drowners
Slow down, slow down, you're taking me over
And so we drown, Sir we drown, stop taking me over!

Song duration - 4:37
Track 7 on the album "Dog Man Star"
Track 14 on the album "Singles"
Suede's 8th single
I wake up every day to find her back again
Screaming my name through the astral plane
And in this catalogue town she takes me down
Down through the platinum spires
Down through the telephone wires
And we shake it around in the underground
And like a new generation rise
And like all the boys in all the cities
I take the poison, take the pity
But she and I, we soon discovered
we'd take the pills to find each other
Oh but when she is calling here in my head
Can you hear her calling
And what she has said?
Oh but when she is calling here in my head
It's like a new generation calling
Can you hear it call?
And I'm losing myself, losing myself to you
I wake up every day, to find her back again
Breeding disease on her hands and knees
While the styles turn and the books still burn
Yes it's there in the platinum spires
It's there in the telephone wires
And we spread it around to a techno sound
But like a new generation rise
Cos like all the boys in all the cities
I take the poison, take the pity
But she and I we soon discover
We take the pills to find each other
Oh but when she is calling here in my head
Can you hear her calling?
And what she has said?
Oh but when she is calling here in my head
It's like a new generation calling
Can you hear her call?
And I'm losing myself, losing myself to you

Track 3 on the album "Coming Up"
Track 15 on the album "Singles"
Suede's 12th single
Here they come, with their make up on,
As lovely as the clouds come and see them,
Boys and girls and their mums and their words,
And their romances and jobs and their sons
Barking mad kids, lonely dads,
Who drug it up to give it some meaning,
From the raves and the council estates,
They're reminding us there's things to be done
But you and me, all we want to be is lazy
You and me, so lazy
Here they come, gone 7 am,
getting satellites and sky getting cables,
Bills and Bens and their mums and their friends,
Who just really really want to be loved,
Uncle Teds and their legendary vests,
Helping out around the disabled,
From the flats and the maisonettes,
They're reminding us there's things to be done
But you and me, all we want to be is lazy
You and me, so lazy
You and me, all we want to be is lazy
You and me, so lazy
You and me, all we want to be is lazy
You and me, so lazy
It's you and me, it's you and me, it's you and me

Track 7 on the album "Head Music"
Track 16 on the album "Singles"
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).

Sat on the metro with love on her mind

Well the church bells are calling
Police cars on fire
And as they call you to the eye of the storm
All the people say "Stay at home tonight"
I say we are the pigs, we are the swine
We are the stars of the firing line
And as the smack cracks at your window
You wake up with a gun in your mouth
Oh let the nuclear wind blow away my sins
And I'll stay at home in my house
I say, we are the pigs
we are the swine
we are the stars of the firing line
But deceit can't save you so
We will watch them burn

And the air is free
And the birds sing for you
And your positivity
Watch out
So you play where you want to play
On the main streets where the creeps all pray
And you can feel like you're in dynasty [And where your mind is your masterpiece*]
And you can be what you want to be [Your limousine is the streets*]
And the morning is for you
And the air is free
And the birds sing for you
And your positivity
And the cars crash for you
And the sunshine is free
And the sirens call you
Yes, the morning is for you
Yes, the air is free
