I have to admit, this is the only post-Smiths Morrissey song that I like–although, admittedly, I haven’t heard the entirety of his output. Still, let’s focus on the positives.
Suedehead is a really good, highly underrated tune. The song itself is about a broken relationship, with the nature of that relationship being left to question. Was it a passing fancy, a strong friendship? A long term relationship? One of the things I like about this song is that it leaves pretty much all of this in question, allowing the listener to make up his or her own mind.
And of course, the lyrics:
Why do you come here?
And why do you hang around?
I’m so sorry
I’m so sorry
Why do you come here
When you know it makes things hard for me?
When you know, oh
Why do you come?
Why do you telephone? (Hmm…)
And why send me silly notes?
I’m so sorry
I’m so sorry
Why do you come here
When you know it makes things hard for me?
When you know, oh
Why do you come?
You had to sneak into my room
‘just’ to read my diary
“It was just to see, just to see”
(All the things you knew I’d written about you…)
Oh, so many illustrations
Oh, but
I’m so very sickened
Oh, I am so sickened now
Oh, it was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
Oh
It was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
Oh, it was a good lay, good lay
Oh
Oh, it was a good lay
It was a good lay
Oh, a good lay
Oh, it was a good lay
Good lay, good lay
Oh
It was a good lay
