SUEDE - COMING UP (1996)
Maybe maybe it's the clothes we wear
The tasteless races 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 selves
Maybe it's our looseeness
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
Oh maybe maybe it's the things we say
The words we've heard and the music we play
Maybe it's our genus
Oh maybe maybe it's the times we've had
The lazy days and the crazes and the fads
Maybe it's our sweetness
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...
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?
What to believe in when they change your name
wash your brain, play the game again, yeah, yeah, yeah
Filmstar, elegance, a terylene shirt, it looks so easy
Filmstar, an elegant sir in a terylene shirt tonight
Filmstar, propping up the bar, driving in a car, it looks so easy
Filmstar, propping up the bar, driving in a car tonight
What to believe in, it's impossible to say?
What to believe in when they change your name
wash your brain, play the game again
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
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
theyªre 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 7am
Getting satellite and Sky, getting cable,
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...
It's you and me, it's you and me, you and me...
She can walk out anytime, anytime she wants to walk out, that's fine
She can walk out anytime, anytime she feels that life has passed her by
Start my new life, I won't touch the ground,
I'm gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground
He can walk out anytime, anytime he wants to walk out, that's fine
He can walk out anytime, across the sand, into the sea, into the brine
Start my new life, I won't touch the ground,
I'm gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground
So we sold the car and quit the job and shook some hands and wiped the make-up
Right off
And we said our good-byes to the bank
Left Seven Sisters for a room in a seaside shack
And start my new life, I won't touch the ground
I'm gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground
...it's by the sea we'll breed
...into the sea we'll bleed...
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, injecting marijuana
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
Nowhere faces, nowhere places, no one wants to be
No stimulation in this privatisation
She is bad, she is bored, she is bony, she is..
She
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
Oh, here they come, the beautiful ones, the beautiful ones
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 beautiful ones
Here they come, the beautiful ones, the beautiful ones
You don't think about it
You don't do without it
Because youre beautiful
And if your baby's going crazy
That's how you made me
La, la, la, la...
And if your baby's going crazy
That's how you made me
La, la, la, la...
She's star, starcrazy, electric-shock-bog-brush-hair
Flat on her back in the 80's, in the 90's going nowhere
Star, starcrazy, got a kicking transistor inside
A heavy metal stutter that brains me
And an electric love in her eyes
Oh, she don't want education
She got nothing to say
She got no imagination, so they say
Why does she feel this way?
Why does she feel this way?
Cos she's star, starcrazy, getting stupid on the streets tonight
And shaking like a mechanical thing
With an electric love in her eyes
Oh, she don't want education
She got nothing to say
She got no imagination, so they say
So, why does she feel this way?
Why does she feel this way?
Violence, violence
I'm so sorry to hear about the news
Don't you worry
I'll buy us a bottle and we'll drink in the petrol fumes
I'm so sorry to hear about your world
Don't you worry
There's a gap in the fence down by the nature reserve
Hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day
Such fun, looking at the lovers in a lay-by with my little one
I'm so sorry to hear the news today
Don't you worry
There's been a speeding disaster so we'll go to the motorway
I'm so sorry to hear about the scene
Don't you worry
Just put on your trainers and get out of it with me
Hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day
Such fun, looking at the lovers in a lay-by with my little one
Hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day
Such fun, looking at the lorries in the litter with my lovely one
We could go dancing, we could go walking
We could go shopping, we could keep talking
We could go drinking, we could sit thinking
We could go speeding, or we could go dreaming, see?
Oh hey...such a lonely day, such a lonely day..
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?
And maybe we're just Streatham trash, and maybe not
And maybe we're just capital flash in a stupid love
But oh, we are young and not tired of it
Oh we are young and easily lead
Oh, by all the kids getting out of our heads
Oh, Class A, Class B, is that the only chemistry?
Oh, Class A, Class B, is that the only chemistry between us?
Today she's been working, she's been talking, she's been smoking
It's gonna 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.
Today she's been sat there, sat there in a black chair, office furniture
It will be alright,
Cos tonight we'll go drinking we'll do silly things
And never let the winter in,
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.
We'll go to freakshows and peepshows,
We'll go to discos, casinos
We'll go where people go and let go
Oh, whatever makes her happy on a Saturday night
Oh, whatever makes her happy, whatever makes it alright
