She can
Start
To walk out
When she wants

Because 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
Let's chase the dragon, oh
Let's chase the dragon

From our home
High in the city
Where the skyline stained the snow
I fell for a servant
Who kept me on the boil, oh

We're so young and so gone
Let's chase the dragon
From our home
From our home
From our home
From our home

Got the single of this in June 1993 on tape
From my Uncle...
He bought it by mistake
And gave it to me 😊
So glad he did! Introduced me to one of my favourite bands ever!
Awesome tune!

The piano part from 1:50 still gives me shivers every time I listen to it. Whoever came up with the idea is a bloody genius.

What a beautiful song. I bought the first Suede album when it was released in 1993, great time for music, the early 1990's.

Piano from Ed Buller in this song was amazing. Bernard Butler built his masterpiece in this song with a stunning guitar melody. The solo is amazing. Brett was dramatically good in his falsetto about heroin addiction " let's chase the dragon haa"

Mark Allen

5y↑3

I agree. Ed Buller is a good producer. He was an important part of the Suede sound. I didn't agree with Bernard's criticism of him.

Mark Allen

6y↑5

I agree - Ed Buller was criticised, in particular by Bernard Butler. But Ed was a key architect of the Suede sound.

Our respect & credits to Bernard Butler for beginning the Britpop era.

Nah mate. Bernard didnt invent britpoop. Bernard showed us what a heck of a songwriter and arranger he was. Suede was miles n miles away from Britpop shite. Unfuckingtouchable.

I haven't heard this song for ten or fifteen years or more, but as soon as it came up on YouTube autoplay it brought back memories. My parents used to play this when I was a young kid but I never knew the title or the artist.

I've cried when you play this at SOS festival. I couldn't sing and your voice make me cry again and again... That's my fav song, and when I heared was like too much sensations, cause all the years that I heard you I thought that I never see you in concert... So was crying for hapiness. Thank you so much, for make people feel like me in your concerts.

This is true suede. About nihilistic wastedness. That is the sense of 'Suede' as it originally was.

Euro Bull

This song marks a time in the 90's when all the estates up and down the country where flooded with heroin myself and many others spent years on that shit and some didn't make it , wouldn't change it though and great tune 😉

Shifty Bat

7y↑2

I lived with a terrible junkie for two years. The change of the line, "Let's chase the Dragon" to "Let's chase the Dragon from our home" reminds me I made it through a bad time, and wrings my heart out like wet cloth.
