Suede Album

You say what you want to say
Your diamonds are drops of rain
Your smile is your credit card
And your currency is your love

And the morning is for you
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
Lyrics
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
Yes, the world spins for you
And your positivity
Positivity

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
It's called obsession
Can you handle it

It's connected to the hip sounds
And it moves with the underground
It's called obsession
When you're around

It's the way you close the doors of my car
It's the stupid things you bought with my credit card
It's the way you don't read Camus or Brett Easton Ellis
Yeah the TCP you use, it stings when we kiss

Obsessions in my head
LyricsDon't connect with my intellect
It's called obsession
Can you handle it

It's connected to the hip sounds
And it moves with the underground
It's called obsession
When you're around

Obsessions is like sex
It's simple and complex
It's called obsession
Can you handle it

It's connected to the hip sounds
And it moves with the underground
It's called obsession
When you're around

Stephanie stares at the posters on the wall
Tina sits and waits for a telephone call
Maxine mixes alcohol with polythene and paint
Sylvia stays in bed on her own
She can hear the cars outside and wonders where they go
And if you call her answer phone
She'll get back to you one day

And lonely girls, lonely girls fill the world

Oh, Julia dreams while she's typing away
Jackie kills time while the company pays
Tracy still hears 808 ringing in her brain
Jane slaps paints on the walls of her home
Lydia sings when she thinks she's alone
Jean gets drunk and wonders home, through the carparks that eat her change

Yeah lonely girls, lonely girls fill the world

And they smile through the summer
And laugh in the rain
LyricsAnd sing through the winter
But never show the pain

Oh sometimes our lives are not what they seem
Sometimes things aren't like they are in lifestyle magazines
We see what we want to see
In this miracle of clay

Where lonely girls, lonely girls fill the world

I see you in my life
I see you on the screen
An ascending socialite
Orbiting the scene

And everybody wants you now
Everybody wants to be a part of your crowd
Ooh

Baby it seems sometimes you're lost in TV
Lost in a dream [instant sunshine]
Baby

We wandered through our minds
With images and scenes
And with animated lives
Rehearsing for our dreams

Everybody wants it now
Everybody wants to be a face in the crowd
Ooh
Lyrics
Baby it seems sometimes we're lost in TV
Trapped in a screen
Lost in a scene
Lost in TV [instant sunshine], baby

Everybody wants it now [sunshine]
Everybody wants to be a face in the crowd
Ooh

Baby it seems sometimes we're lost in TV
Lost in a dream [instant sunshine]
Baby

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,

You belong under electric lights with the hand me down surrounds,
You belong out in the countryside with your hands deep down in the ground,

Well you beautiful loser,
You beautiful lay,
You beautiful loser, you're coming down the hard way,

...your brain is drip connected to the satellite,
your heart is not a part of your brain,
aesthetics and inventions well they pass you by
and complicate your day....

You belong sat on a motorbike doing 161 in the rain,
50cc thru the wild life getting trashed in the slow lane,

You beautiful loser,
You beautiful lay,
You beautiful loser I said you're coming down the hard way...

Street life into the night with the syncopated melodies
Street life look left look right you've got lips from a magazine
Cheap sound that comes from underground communicates to everyone
Street life it's alright you get your tips from a popular song

It's the beat of the concrete street that you'll love for a million years
It's the sound that comes from underground that's got you clapping
got you shaking your rears

Street life
Street life step to the mike with your sexual equality
Street life look left look right you've got lips from a magazine
Cheap sound that comes from underground is like a bass drum kicking along
Street life sweet life cheap life it's the street life going on and on

To the beat of the concrete street you can live for a million years
The dumb sound that comes from underground that's got you clapping
got you shaking your rears
Street life

It's all you know
It's all you see
It's all you follow
It's all you believe

Move your feet to the concrete beat and you can live for a million years
To the sound that comes from underground, clap your hands
get shaking your rears
Street life
Street life

A strange relationship has started
A strange relationship indeed
It's like a watercolour forming
Between the pages of a dream

And it's calling you
It's calling me
It's calling everyone to be

In a future world with an astrogirl
Where one on one is all you need
In a future world with an astrogirl
One on one is all you need

A strange experience has started
Between her molecules and me
It's like disease between us forming
From obsolete technology
And it's calling you
It's calling me
It's calling everyone to be

In a future world with an astrogirl
Where one on one is all you need
In a future world with an astrogirl
The sky goes on and on for you and me

The sky goes on and on for you and me
The sky goes on and on for you and me

In a future world with an astrogirl
There'll be no obstacles you'll see
Cos we'll be making friends with the superman
Where the sky goes on and on for you and me

The sky goes on and on for you and me
The sky goes on and on for you
The sky goes on and on

Will you be my lover?
Will you be the one?
Will you be like no other
For how long?

Oh yes I'll be your wild flower
Grown through the concrete
And born to the backbeat of the stars

And yes i'm just a stupid guy
Crushed like a butterfly
Dead-eyed at the drive-by
In a car

And like flies on a windscreen
And like insects in glue
We could stick together
If you wanted to

And yes I'll be your wild flower
Grown through the concrete sheets
And born to the backbeat of the stars

And I'm just a stupid guy
Crushed like a butterfly
Dead-eyed at the drive-by
In a car

Yeah just a stupid guy
Crushed like a butterfly
Dead-eyed at the drive-by
In a car

Is it my imagination or is that a cardboard sky?
Is it just this situation that's made me lose my mind?

I don't need you to be sorry
I just wanted you to know

That this is one hit to the body
One hit to the soul
It's one hit to the body
That won't show

There's a million constellations up in the make-believe sky
And a million dead-end situations you could leave behind
And the lights and the lorries will show you which way to go

And this is one hit to the body
It's one hit to the soul
It's one hit to the body
That won't show

Is it something in the air that you breathe?
LyricsIs it something in the books that you read?
Is it something in the things that you do?
Is it something in the words that you use?

`Cos the lights and the lorries will show you where you want to go

And this is one hit to the body
One hit to the soul
It's one hit to the body
That won't show

Well I don't really need anybody
I just wanted you to know

That this is one hit to the body
That won't show
That won't show

Come out tonight in the puddles
Splash some love across the sky
Just you and I bursting bubbles
As the sky is about to cry

When the rain falls
There's magic in our lives
When the rain falls
We're happy deep inside
When the rain falls
It cleans away the corners of our minds

When all the world looks like Atlantis
And the cars sit rusting in the drives
Just step outside and hit the concrete pavement
As the rain falls down for you and I

When the rain falls
The pretty people run
When the rain falls
The colours cloud the sun
LyricsWhen the rain falls
We'll sit and watch the children hurry home

One, two!

Rain falls
Rain falls
Rain falls

And when everything is blue or green or green or blue or grey
I cross the street to catch the beat of my heart
And I watch it all 'cos there's nothing else to do today
And I watch it all fall so hard

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
So real, you can feel it twist inside you

But everywhere you go
Everything you do
Every place you know
Every word you choose

I'm in everybody's eyes
Everybody's lives
I'm in everything you see
You belong to me

Oh, well you might walk down by the station through garbage and rust
LyricsAnd breath in all the diseases just like I do
Or driving through some conurbation you'll step on the gas
And I'll be sat right there beside you

Cos everywhere you go
Everything you do
Every place you know
Every word you choose

I'm in everybody's eyes
Everybody's lies
I'm in everything you see
You belong to me

Well you can smash the windows
and break some faces
or spray graffiti on public places
or act round some dead town
But I'll be there

Cos everywhere you go
Everything you do
Every place you know
Every word you choose

I'm in everybody's eyes
Everybody's lies
I'm in everything you see
You belong to me

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
