- 03. Mistress
On a day without a night,
eyes the green of sea water
and skin so white
you're nothing like my mother
Do you hold him like her?
Do you need him like her?
Is he all that you’ve got?
- Animal Lover
I see you're moving, see you're moving, moving in with her
You'll pierce your right ear, pierce your heart here,
The skinny boy is one of the girls
'cos around my neck and around her neck hangs everything you are
I know you've been inside but what were you in for?
Animal lover, animal lover, animal lover?
- Animal Nitrate
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, on
- Art
She said that is one thing about art
He said that is I all I think about art
Glamour creates glamour types, stares at the sea stars art
Oh no
She said this is what I think is art
Oh-oh father, oh-oh mother
Coming down the disco, does this lot really love you?
- As One
Oh I'm your blue-eyed boy
I'll suffer your indifference and
You can teach me pretty words
And we will feed the sparrows
Here I am
Here I am
Talking to my shadow
Head in my hands
- Barriers
Aniseed kisses and lipstick traces,
Lemonade sipped in Belgian rooms,
Couldn't replace the graceful notions
That clung to me when I clung to you.
And they touch you like no one touched you.
When you broke they were there with bloom.
And the kindness was not a weakness.
- Be My God
This this is the age of the high heeled protege
Lift lift off your flesh for nature's honest game
Twisting round the roundabout around everybody
Hey I'll be your dog - be my god
Come on come on come on come on come on
Come on come on come on come on come on
Have me oh ho grab me
These these are the days of skin tight village ways
- Beautiful Loser
You belong among the wild flowers picked at the side of the road,
You belong among the silent hours and broken telephones,
You belong among the TV screens with sound turned down again,
You belong where there's CCTV watching you every day,
Well you beautiful loser,
You beautiful lay,
You beautiful loser, you're coming down the hard way,
- Beautiful Ones
High on diesel and gasoline, psycho for drum machine
shaking their bits to the hits,
Drag acts, drug acts, suicides, in your dad's suits you hide
staining his name again,
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 to kill
get into bands and gangs,
- Breakdown
Back where the dogs bark, where still life bleeds the concrete white,
Try not to go too far inside your mind.
Back where the cars decide, where the lame star limps an endless mile,
Have I gone too far inside my mind?
Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice now my mind has gone?
Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice?
- By the Sea
She can walk out anytime anytime she wants to walk out that's fine
- Dawn Chorus
your tenderness is not a weakness
your tenderness is not a thought
you tell me and dont feel completed
but you could stab me with the word
you could crush me with your thoughts
singing the dawn chorus
shedding your skin before us
- Down
All the people in your life say you're down
And the strangers in the night say you're down
- Electricity
We got a love that's cold as stone
We got a love from our violent homes
- Elephant Man
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
- Europe Is Our Playground
Run with me baby, let your hair down
through every station, through every town
run with me baby, let's take a chance
from Heathrow to Hounslow, from the Eastern Block to France
Europe is our playground, London is our town
so run with me baby now
- Filmstar
Suede - Filmstar
Filmstar, propping up the bar, driving in a car, it looks so easy,
Filmstar, propping up the bar, driving in a car tonight,
Filmstar, giving it class, living it fast, it looks so easy,
Filmstar, giving it class, living it fast tonight.
What to believe in, it's impossible to say?
- Golden Gun
Can you feel our minds in motion?
Can you feel these thoughts I've sung?
Can you feel our steel devotion?
Can you feel our love become strong?
Can you hear these words like winter?
Can you see how far we've come?
Can you feel this moment splinter
As you feel our thoughts become one?
- He's Dead
I wake up every day but I don't want it that way
Take my thoughts to the roundabout
Cause me and them we like to get out
Oh what you do in your head
You do in your head
Oh if he is dead
- Heroin
Took me on a limb
You've taken everything
Everything
As the clouds come in
As the rain begins
Rain begins
Heroin
- Heroine
She walks in beauty like the night
Discarding her clothes in the plastic flowers
Pornographic and tragic in black and white
My Marilyn come to my slum for an hour
I'm aching to see my heroine
I'm aching been dying for hours and hours
- High Rising
Oh, Angel, don't take those sleeping pills
You don't need them
Though it's just time they kill
Oh, Angel, give me your sleeping pills
You don't need them
Give me the time they kill
You're a water sign
I'm an air sign
- Indian Strings
Open up my heart and see what's inside
Take a look inside me inside my mind
- It Starts And Ends With You
Like a cause without a martyr,
Like an effigy of balsa,
Like a hairline crack in a radiator,
Leaking life
I shout out but it just spins faster,
I crawl up but my knees are water,
I cling on by my nails to the sweet disaster
- Jubilee
We're the sun that lights the sky
We're the winter in your mind
The love that lives inside
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the winter in your mind
The words that sit inside
When you run with me
- Jumble Sale Mums
Oh, jumble sale mums, what are they on?
Kids just sit hanging round the street
And they've got somebody else's clothes on
Jumble sale dads, boil in the bag
Says some things that I can't repeat, and he swears...
Oh, this ain't the highlife
This ain't the highlife
This ain't the highlife
- Killing Of A Flash Boy
All the white kids shuffle to the heavy metal stutter
And go shaking on the scene like killing machines
And they know that when she's stacked up top
She'll be a sucker for the shotgun show
Shaking obscene like the killing machines here we go
It's the same old show, He's a killer of a flash boy oh
He's a killer he's a killer he's a flashboy oh
- Killing of a Flashboy
All the white kids shuffle to the heavy metal stutter
And go shaking on the scene like killing machines
And they know that when she's stacked up top
She'll be a sucker for the shotgun show
Shaking obscene like killing machines here we go
It's the same old show, he's a killer he's a flash boy oh
He's a killer he's a flash boy oh
- Lazy
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 to the council estates
- Learning to Be
Every word that I've ever said
Is empty as air like gossamer thread
I come tumbling out of a single bed
To be with you again
And isn't it strange
That the method I choose
- Like Kids
Oh, through the red lights, the amber,
The silent mannequins,
The crumpled mothers in their seats.
Pull into morning through the stations,
The smell of chemicals.
Do I want you because you're out of reach?
- Love The Way You Love
I love the way you love love me baby
Love the way you love love me baby
Love the way you love me baby
I watch the sky and i watch the rain
I count the drops dripping down the drain
Takes 30 seconds to talk about my day
- Metal Mickey
Well, she's show-showing it off, then
The glitter in her lovely eyes
Show-show-showing it off, then
And all the people shake their money in time
She sells heart
She sells meat
Oh dad, she's driving me mad, come see
- My Dark Star
In a hired car she will come to England from the sea
And as the tide flows the London snows will come.
And from the skyline shines the lies of the government's singular history
So in a hired world she will buy a gun
And she will come from India with a love in her eyes
That say oh how my dark star will rise
In rented gear two thousand years we waited for a man
- Obsessions
It's the way you pick your clothes off the floor
It's the way you scratch your skin when you yawn
It's the t-shirts that you choose
Like you're in the Air Force
Yeah the language that you use reacts like chemicals
Obsessions in my head
Don't connect with my intellect
- Outsiders
By the roadside shrine there's a place
Selling bouquets of cellophane
That's where they meet in this desolate place
And the more they see
the more they say
Thrown like two winter roses
into a broken vase
- Pale Snow
Pale are the snowflakes that fall for us
There's one tiny shoe outside in the corridor
Pale are the peonies you grew, my love
The color of your skin
Pale and paper thin
Will you have the courage of your tenderness?
When the wolf is at your door?
- Pantomine Horse
I was born as a pantomime horse
Ugly as the sun when he falls to the floor
I was cut from the wreckage one day
This is what I get for being that way
Well did you ever, did you ever go round with them?
Well did you ever, did you ever go round the bend?
- Picnic by the Motorway
I'm so sorry to hear about the news
Don't you worry
- Popstar
With eyes of blue
And eyes of green
And eyes that watch
The drum machine
and eyes of green
And eyes of blue
A thousand eyes
- Rainy Day Girl
Sad as a story, my rainy day girl
Sat on her hands in a sugar-free world
Mimed in a million video games
Bad to the bone like the garbage she's made
And the whole world is calling you
Like a stranger stalling for you
Like the pollen falling
- Read My Mind
If only people ran the show
If only traffic weren't so slow
If only thoughts would come and go
This is the nothingness I know
Read my mind
Come on if you read my mind
Come on if you see inside
- Sadie
Inside her is the suburbs in the sodium lights and the streets
In the parked cars and the pretty parks and in every lonely disease
In the new loves under covers in the cold touch of the right
In the dead flowers and the silent hours
In the nightclubs and the fights
Cold cold as the night high as the trees slow as you like
Oh you know she's she's cold cold as the night
- Sam
You live on Lancaster Road
And you've got a computer
And you go, when the libraries closed
And sit and think of the future
Oh, oh oh Sam
Oh, oh oh Sam
Oh, oh oh Sam
You're my main man
- Saturday Night
Today she1s been working, she1s been talking, she1s been smoking,
but it'll be alright,
Cos tonight we'll go dancing, we'll go laughing, we'll get car sick,
and it'll be okay like everyone says, it'll be alright and ever so nice,
We're going out tonight, out and about tonight.
Oh, whatever makes her happy on a Saturday night,
Oh whatever makes her happy, whatever makes it alright.
- SEXY
A chuva cai
Quase sobre a sua pele
Baby, calma
Sabe que a saudade fere
Você em cima de mim é prosperidade, yeh
Me avisa quando cê tiver no baile
Sabe que tu é sexy
- She
She, walking like a killer,
She, another night another pillow.
Nowhere places, nowhere faces, no one wants to see,
No education, it's the arse of the nation,
She is bad, she is bored, she is bony, she is...
She, sh-shaking up the karma,
- She's in Fashion
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
- Situations
Lonely lives, stolen hair
Twisted smiles, vacant stares
Stoney hearts, lonely tunes
Empty minds... in you
And we want to be the only ones
And we want to be the loaded guns
We'll make decisions and then smile at you
- Sleeping Pills
Angel, don't take those sleeping pills, you don't need them
Though it's just time they kill
Angel, give me your sleeping pills, you don't need them
Give me the time they kill
You're a water sign, I'm an air sign
Gone gone to Valium, can you get me some?
You're a water sign, and I'm an air sign
- So Young
ecause we're young because we're gone
We'll take the tide's electric mind oh yeah? oh yeah
We're so young and so gone let's chase the dragon oh
Because we're young because we're gone
we'll scare the skies with tigers eyes oh yeah? oh yeah
We're so young and so gone let's chase the dragon oh
- Stay Together
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
Stay together
- Still Life
This still life is all I ever do
There by the window quietly killed for you
In the glass house my insect life
Crawling the walls under electric lights
I'll go into the night, into the night
She and I into the night
- Street Life
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, check it out!
Street life into the night with the syncopated melodies
Street life look left look right you've got lips from a magazine
- The Asphalt World
I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
She comes to me and I supply her with Ecstasy
Sometimes we ride in a taxi to the ends of the city
Like big stars in the back seat like skeletons ever so pretty
I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
But where does she go?
And what does she do?
And how does she feel when she's next to you?
- The Big Time
I watch the slow hand kill the day
I see my starring mode take away
I watch the skyline for him to come
And when he comes alone, we'll be gone
And we'll go into the city
Into the light
We'll be there in the headlines
- The Chemistry Between Us
And maybe we're just kids who've grown and maybe not
And maybe when we're on our own we don't have much
But oh we are young and not tired of it
Oh we are young and easily lead
Oh with all the kids getting out of their heads.
Oh Class A, Class B is that the only chemistry?
Oh Class A, Class B is that the only chemistry between us?
- The Drowners
Won't someone give me a gun?
Oh, well it's for my brother
Well, he writes the line
Wrote right down my spine
It says, "Oh, do you believe in love there?"
So slow down
Slow down
- The Next Life
see you in your next life when we'll fly away for good
stars in our own car we can drive away from here
far away, so far away, down to Worthing and work there
far away, we'll go far away and flog ice creams til the company's on its knees
see you in your next life when we'll fly away for good
- The Power
Through endless Asia, through the fields of Cathay
or enslaved in pebble-dash grave with a kid on the way
If you're far over Africa on the wings of youth
or if you're down in some satellite town and there's nothing you can do
Just give me, give me, give me the power
And I'll make them bleed
Give me, give me the power
- The Wild Ones
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
- These Are The Sad Songs
Lay Lady Lay and Band of Gold
A Day in the Life, And Dream of Sheep
Seasong and Vincent and Death Disco
Listen to the music in your sleep
These are the sad songs, the broken words
These are the sad songs, the lies you've heard
These are the good times you keep inside
These are the good things that you can have if you try
- This Time
Oh day after day every morning
The city sighs and cars collide
Oh we take the train through the winter hinterland and garage bands
And we wash it away we wash it away this grey wash it away
Oh 'cause this time is yours and mine
Oh hear the city sound see the lonely crowds
This scene is you and me
- Thе 2 Оf Us
Lying in my bed, I think of you
That song goes through my head, the one we both knew
In each line lies another line full of sacred sound
But you're outside where the companies dream and the money goes round
Lying in my bed
Watching my mistakes,
I listen to the band they said that it could be the 2 of us
- To The Birds
Don't take your life cos your bicycle won't fly
You may be going to heaven tonight
Don't spoil the show for the love of some albino
You won't be going to heaven alone
I see her by the window waiting every night
So I wouldn't give a shit if your bicycle's in bits
I think I'm going to heaven on it
I see her by the window pour the poison from you
- Trash
Maybe maybe it's the clothes we wear
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair
Maybe it's our kookiness
Or maybe maybe it's our nowhere towns
Our nothing places and our cellophane sounds
Maybe it's our looseness
But we're trash you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
- UFO
Cars are crawling in the microtowns
Women hide the decay
Boys bounce to the disco sounds
Lights go inside with the grey
Gas clouds paint the cityscapes
Lovers whisper the lies
Hip chicks, drugs and fornicate
- Waterloo
In the undertow
Of a muddy river's ebb and flow
Is a hand that will not let go
The current is strong, the river is deep
In the afterglow of the fire
That tore through the room below
Someone calls through the smoke
- We Are the Pigs
Well, the church bells are calling, police car 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, of the firing line
And as the smack cracks at your window
- Where the Pigs Don't Fly
Shame on me
Well I had the beast, you see
And if he can take it
I can take him home with me
Shame on her
She's a lovely little number
And when we go lassoing
You get lassoed, all of you
- You Belong To Me
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Oh, well you might have some conversation
Smashed in a bar
Clocking all of the disco dolls that blind you
Or check out some mad situations
Some silly farce
