Alice In Chains - Suffragette City Lyrics






Hey man, oh leave me alone, you know
Hey man, oh Henry, get off the phone, I gotta
Hey man, I gotta straighten my face
This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place

Hey man, my schooldays insane
Hey man, my work's down the drain
Ain't good, well she's a total blam-blam
She said she had to squeeze it but she... and then she...

Don't lean on me man, 'cause you can't afford the ticket
Back to Suffragette City
Don't lean on me man,
'Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight... ooo, it's all right

Hey man, oh leave me alone, go away
Hey man, I can't take much this time, no way
Hey man, hey droogie don't crash here
There's only room for one and here she comes, here she comes

Don't lean on me man, 'cause you can't afford the ticket
Back to Suffragette City
Don't lean on me man,
'Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight... wow it's all right

Don't lean on me man, 'cause you can't afford the ticket
Back to Suffragette City
Don't lean on me man,
'Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight... ooo, it's all right

Suffragette City
Suffragette City
Suffragette City
Suffragette City...

Aaaaaah Wham Bam Thank you Ma'am!

Suffragette City
Back in Suffragette City
Way down in Suffragette City
Back in Suffragette City
Doo wah! Suffragette City
Woo Hah! Suffragette City
Way down in Suffragette City
Suffragette City... Suffragette...

Alice In Chains Suffragette City Comments
  1. W.... O....

    I don't care what anyone says Glam Alice was the shit

  2. T.... M....

    The drum part was kind of a mess. And what was up with that cheap synth? But still I can’t help but love it.

  3. J.... O....

    Now go listen to "Would" yep same band badass

  4. I.... ....

    kinda reminds me the Nirvana

    I.... ....

    the moments 'HEY MAN'

    I.... ....

    Damn, it sounds like Kurt

  5. J.... O....

    Hahaha such a Layne song I love it

  6. M.... D....

    Best Version On YouTube, Thank You!!!

  7. P.... C....

    Love AIC but Turbonegro's version is my favorite one

  8. S.... H....

    It’s up there with Green River’s cover of Queen Bitch. Every Grunge band has covered Bowie

  9. N.... ....

    Sounds like Joan Jett

  10. T.... S....

    Alice at one time sounded like a hair metal band. I'm glad their music evolved; if it hadn't, most of us wouldn't know who they are.

    T.... S....

    Even if they stayed hair metal though they would have been like the best hair metal band.

    T.... S....

    I really love their hair metal sound and the power in laynes voice back then

    T.... S....

    They don't have a single bad song

  11. R.... P....

    Obviously not AIC.

    R.... P....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJxlKV9feL4 But It is Alice In Chains.

  12. M.... J....

    This is fucking horrible.

    M.... J....

    Maybe Joel bro Rick and morty is just awful my guy I rather listen to this

    M.... J....

    Jesse Perera hahahahahahahahahaha

    M.... J....

    Maybe Joel what's so awful about it? I agree that it kind of sounds shitty that it's sped up the way it is. But I think that they did a pretty fucking good job of covering a classic song. Layne Staley could sing pretty Damn well

  13. K.... ....

    The riff in the intro is a little bit like the Chorus of "Sea of Sorrow".

  14. H.... P....

    love my Ziggy Stardust - hope layne is helping bowie settle in in the afterlife.

  15. A.... ....

    That's Layne's voice? I would've thought this was Marilyn Manson.

    A.... ....

    lol good joke i almost laught,almost

    A.... ....

    Господь с тобой, какой нахер Мэрлин Мэнсон.

  16. H.... B....

    RIP David Bowie and Layne Staley

  17. 4.... ....

    I want more covers of this legend...

  18. T.... S....

    Yeah this demo is deffo faster lol...chimpmunk Bowie!!!


    But there are normal speed versions, my guess this is an attempt to avoid having this vid removed.

    T.... S....

    I prefer it this much dynamical

  19. a.... ....

    Hey man,that looks like the blue sweater i been missing out of the back seat out of my car man !!! (YIKES)

  20. A.... ....

    This is a prime example of why Mike Starr is better than Mike Inez. Starr really carried the songs with his bass lines.

    A.... ....

    AaronStark Mike Starr was actually a very talented bassist. He was high energy and wrote pretty much all of their most famous bass lines. The sinister way that Rooster sounded was driven by Mike Starrs bass line. He was really solid.

    A.... ....

    I love both for different and like reasons...

    A.... ....

    AaronStark i know that Mike Inez was longer in Alice the time that layne lived but still i never see him as the alice in chains bassist....

  21. b.... ....

    he sounds soooo young there awwwww. great btw. thanks for such rare stuff man woo!

  22. p.... g....

    Glam metal

  23. n.... l....

    awww layne sounds so young

  24. S.... ....

    You are a fucking moron.

  25. F.... F....

    it could be the song, it's a david bowie song

  26. A.... D....

    I love the way they do this versions from Bowie n tht bass is tuff FUCK YA \,,/\,,/

  27. Z.... H....

    after hearing these demos, they sound cool, but damn AIC would never of made it if they didnt switch their sound prior to facelift, and thank god they did.

    Z.... H....

    True dat but they could've switched back & added this sort of sound once grunge reachhed it's peak in 1996. Obviously, it'll ALWAYS be David Bowie's song. Bowie changed with times. Cool to know AIC had a Bowie influence like Jane's Addiction who were their peers!

    Z.... H....

    @Niroshan Fernando they also loved Elton John.. Layne's first concert was Elton

  28. p.... ....

    More like Poison or Motley Crue.

  29. c.... ....

    Best version.

  30. C.... ....

    What the ... AIC sound like more like some pop punk band here. Borderline Green Day and Avril Lavigne.

  31. L.... S....

    jajaja...Orgasmo multiple!-...jajajjaj
    Excelente ALICE IN CHAINS

  32. B.... B....

    David Bowie + Alice in Chains = Instant Ear Orgasm

  33. w.... ....

    This song was one of the songs Laynes sister sent me back in the days of myspace

  34. I.... ....

    @TheTrueFranchise well the poison cover isnt bad

  35. I.... ....

    wow such a weird version of it but i love this song

  36. I.... ....

    @TheTrueFranchise Just makin' sure.

  37. I.... ....

    @TheTrueFranchise It's a cover, yuh know :P

  38. n.... ....

    FUCKING AWESOME!

  39. M.... u....

    oh man if i dont hear this i probabyle dont belive in this

  40. a.... ....

    yeaaaaaaaah they've come to kill the HEY MAN

  41. G.... E....

    The cover sounds even better live.

  42. k.... ....

    Great cover

  43. s.... ....

  48. p.... b....

    i love alice chains, i ahve all there music. it just sucks whats happened to them. oh well there will be some kick ass music in heaven.

  49. G.... S....

    @sludgeism Yeah!!! and you wanna know the best part? the guy closed his account. LOL

  50. l.... ....

    demo's like this (if im correct) were recorded slightly faster than original (studio albums) recordings, you can tell in laynes voice.. either way.. fantastic

  51. s.... t....

    @DaveS12382 So being homosexual is wrong now?

  52. s.... d....

    @FieryKane hHAHA holy shit man, fuck glee fans

  53. K.... B....

    @FieryKane Yeah, glee sucks!

  54. G.... S....

    @BigNick419andholding Haha, yep you gotta love it.

  55. B.... ....

    @FieryKane HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! That's a fucking riot. Thats like the idiot who kept calling Layne Staley "GEL" I have no idea what thats all about, but he was telling us all he was a bigger fan when he dosen't even know his name! My two year old son knows who Layne is! EPIC stupidity lol

  56. S.... G....

    Gotta love trolls, this a great shit.

  57. M.... ....

    @FieryKane Ha, he deleted his account

  58. p.... c....

    @two9ertango whats it going to do

  59. t.... ....

    @two9ertango Oh wait, I totally didn't catch that diss on the first read. Jerk!

  60. t.... ....

    @two9ertango You can drop anyone's huevos with the help of Audacity. Try it on Bieber sometime! lol

  61. o.... ....

    Who is singing, Jerry or Layne?

  62. P.... ....

    Love David, Love this song. i have always admired David's work. I really enjoyed this cover.

  63. p.... c....

    I love aic and lane but this sound like alven and the chip monks

  64. J.... Z....

    @templeofcoy But not a music fan, obviously. Covers are just different interpretations of the same song. Some people like covers over the originals and vice versa. But no one is really better than the other.

  65. L.... ....

    buen cover :E ♥

  66. F.... ....

    Whoo, man! This is just SO better than Them Bones, Would and Down In A Hole.

    The AIC anno 1988-89 was so much better than the same band during the Dirt era.
    Facelift kicks ass, though.

  67. t.... ....

    I think the pitch is slightly too high here. The version I have, Layne's voice is deeper.

  68. R.... S....

    haha, whatever cock gobbling piece of shit keikocat2001 was, his account seems to be "closed" now.

  69. d.... ....

    Please don't compare us (or me, anyway) as AIC fans to Kiss fans - it's quite insulting :)

  70. L.... O....

    Why is everyone such a bitch on here?
    Show some fucking respect.
    We shouldn't compete over bands and knowledge, just listen and appreciate it for your own self.
    Relax, people, relax,
    and stop going on to Alice In Chains videos if you're just going to bash them, that's your own opinion that we, the fans, don't care about
    Or at least try to be open-minded,
    It's a nice cover, and its nice to know that Alice In Chains digs David Bowie

  71. p.... ....

    ahh lol ok

  72. p.... ....

    lol i was just messing with her

  73. p.... ....

    not sure what any of that means, but whatever. :)

  74. G.... S....

    Oh now I'm the teenager now? Wow. I can't even reply. Just to remind you you're an ADAM LAMBERT fan and you're trying to educate me about music. Get a life.

  75. G.... S....

    Um, no you didn't mention that, so don't act like you did. What kind of a Who fan likes Adam Lambert?
    And just the fact that you even brought Lambert into this suggests that you're between the ages of 7-14 to answer your question.

  76. G.... S....

    Well, that's kinda weird, because I am a KISS fan. And if you get 120 negs, I'm obviously not the only one. If you don't like KISS, you obviously haven't listened to any or a limited amount of their stuff which is understandable if you're an Adam Lambert fan since you're probably between the ages of 7-14. And I'm guessing you've never listened to enough Alice in Chains either for the same reason. Adam Lambert won't amount to anything. KISS and Alice in Chains are rock legends.

  77. G.... S....

    Before you talk crap about Alice in Chains I think you should listen to some real music. You can start by deleting that Glee video from your favorites.
    That's right people. A GLEE FAN is trying to tell us that Alice in Chains sucks.

  78. J.... C....

    What the fuck are you talking about, you crazy ass?!?!? If you don't like Alice in chains..... then go listen to horrible slipknot or something.... because AIC are great

  79. J.... C....

    your such an ass, shut the fuck up

  80. J.... A....

    im guessing they were.....but its mostly due to the tape being distorted from age....

  81. J.... A....

    @keikocat2001 early demo, they were young, and the tape is distorted. there u go....thats the answer.

  82. l.... ....

    @Zeppy67682 your right bout layne but sorry...kurt suuucked.... everyone thinks hes god when he couldnt play guitar good at all anf had no vocal talent... and they get to be crowned king of grunge when A. they suck and B. Alice had the "grungesound" before any one even heard of nerdvana.. but no one ever remembers alice its bullshit...thats why nirvanas fucking gay.,

  83. l.... ....

    @Juliancaesar1237 UUUUUM whaaat?? you have mental problems... i dnt care whose bi or gay or straight i just stated that mick jagger is the last person any 1 would want to fuck....and yea... you guys are getting all defensive about bi's so i think you are the ones who re insecure,,,dnt you have a blog to post or something??? take your whiney drama elsewhere...

  84. G.... C....

    Layne sounds better than Bowie. so does Kurt on the man who sold the world.

  85. l.... ....

    so what your saying is hes a tool who just goes with whats "cool" at the time?either way its still lame. thats my opinion and i will fucking curse as much as i like.. i dont have to be refined or posh when talking to a bunch of idiots on the internet dont you have a new fad to go buy into or. idk some hairspray to buy? my opinion is that this version sounds like god played it compared to the original if you dont like it then i dont really give two shits, not that you would want them if i was ;)

  86. l.... ....

    prolly cuz they knew they could do it better... and further more i do not care what AIC thought of bowie i think hes shit... and thats my opinion because i am a different person thab you ,,, if you dont like it fuck off....to me he sux and that is the way it is... he sux led zeppelin black sabbath ted nugent rolling stones pink floyd jimi hendrix creedence clearwater... all so much better than him

  87. G.... T....

    First of all, I am not a homophobe, and I would appriciate it if you didn't acuse me of being one. David Bowie was never really bisexual. He admitted it in a biography. He said he said he was at the time because of his lifestyle and the bisexual movement that was current at the time.And just letting you know, there are other ways to express yourself than swearing. I would suggest trying to expand your vocabulary, because obviously you don't know much more english than a 10 year old.

  88. l.... ....

    how would i know... all i kno is his wife caught him in bed with mick and so have other people. hes never directly denied it. i mean sure it could be a romour but if any dudes gonna fuck mick jagger id lay my money on bowie. what are you a homophobe and cant deal with the fact that david mite sleep with a guy,,, ?? get over yourself.. dnt you have to fix your scene hair and listen to second hand serenade ?

  89. l.... ....

    davids voice is worse than laynes. get over it... just cuz a song is old doesnt make it better .... plenty of covers are better than the original... david bowie just sux compared other artists from his time... your point is fucking stupid... your claiming that since alce covered one of his songs that hes better??? thats some kind of fucked up inbred arkansas thinking right there... get a valid point... then open your mouth

  90. G.... T....

    And I'm guessing you also believe Michael Jackson bleached his skin. How gullable can you get? It's obviously a rumour. And how was it confirmed, huh? Did you read it somewhere on the internet? Because of course, everything on the internet is true. [I'm being sarcastic, just incase you didn't know]

  91. l.... ....

    yeah he did... it was not that long ago... idc if you dont believe it its been confirmed you can look it up

  92. G.... T....

    @laynstayley1990. David Bowie did not have sex with Mick Jagger. Get your facts straight. Would it even matter is he did? He's a legend, and his voice is amazing and unique.

  93. p.... ....

    heroins a fan made bootleg

  94. l.... ....

    it has planty of talent... layne can sing way better than david... have you even heard their other stuff? hes got a set of pipes that david never had... david was to busy having sex with mick jagger anyways true story too.

  95. A.... L....

    i wonder wat bowie would think of this cover

  96. A.... L....

    i love how raw & edgy they sound!

    layne/jerry vocals fuckin rule!

  97. L.... G....

    Great version. Blitz did a great version as well. But nothing beats the original one.

  98. I.... D....

    I remember my father when I listen to this song... He likes David Bowie :) (by the way it's my dad's birthday!) ;)

  99. S.... C....

    this is alice in chains when they were so young and just having fun....great version.....both versions fucking rule this song is just a great rock song
