Suede - Like Kids Lyrics






Oh through the red lights, the amber, the silent mannequins
The crumpled mothers in their seats
Pull into morning through the stations the smell of chemicals
Do I want you because you are out of reach?

Oh, it’s all there for us
Oh, it belongs to us
Oh, and there is nothing we can’t reach

Oh, we hold it all in our fist
Like kids, like savages
And we’ll run in the playground
If you’ll just stay with me

Oh, through the red lights, the amber, I steal a look at you
Behind the wheel of another car
Oh, nothing matters
But this moment
I conjure the imagery
Of a different life, another path

Oh, t’s all there for us
Oh, it belongs to us
Oh, and there is nothing we can’t reach

Oh, we hold it all in our fist
Like kids, like savages
And we’ll run in the playground
If you’ll just stay with me

Oh it’s all there for us
Oh it belongs to us
Oh and there is nothing we can’t reach

Oh we hold it in our pretty fist
Like kids, like savages
And we’ll run in the playground
If you’ll just stay with me

Nah Nah Nah
Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah x 6

  1. O.... B....

    Kind of sad how the songs are more formulaic now, heavy on a big “indie” sound and thin on actual songwriting. But this song is one of the best off this album and the opening lyrics are great. Suede have written so many incredible songs in their first few albums and B sides to last a lifetime. Just feel like the Blue Hour in particular is extremely pompous and trying very hard

  2. S.... Z....

    tryin produce the ultimate cone

  3. P.... M....

    3:20 to the left, hahaha so funny!

  4. M.... T....

    Anyone else think he was saying "kids like sandwiches" until they looked-up the lyrics?

    Oh through the red lights, the amber, the silent mannequins

    Fantastic song and video! The new album is really perfect!

  33. S.... K....

    2 videos from the new album and Suede isn't to see on both of them. Why guys?

  34. A.... E....

    Suede vive una segunda juventud absolutamente inspirada. Si un día fueron pieza esencial del brit pop con este disco nos demuestran que han sabido recuperar el puso en plena madurez. Ya no son aquellos chicos veinteañeros que en el 1993 jugaban a la ambigüedad sexual, que buscaban el amor romántico en noches desesperadas y que no encontraban futuro entre bloques de viviendas sociales en las afueras de Londres. Todo ha cambiado, ahora son cinco tipos mayores y sus preocupaciones son otras, como también su visión de la vida. Brett Anderson tiene 48 años y acaba de ser padre, así que no es de extrañar que dedique una canción a su vástago como "What I'm Trying to tell you" o que hable de su padre en "I don't know how to reach you". Todo ha cambiado, afortunadamente su séptimo disco "Night Thoughts" es de sus mejores trabajos, nos trae a los mejores Suede con verdaderos hits como "Like kids", "Outsiders", "No tomorrow" o "Pale Snow". Piezas de gran belleza que recuperan su glamour, con unas instrumentaciones ricas y acertadas.
    Suede volverán a nuestro país para actuar en el Primavera Sound, en un cartel apuballante en el que compartirán escenario con Radiohead, Sigur Rós, LCD Soundsystem , PJ Harvey, Beirut y Explosions in the Sky,Animal Collective, Beach House, Black Lips, Deerhunter, Daughter, Dinosaur Jr, Loop, Manel, Savages o The Last Shadow Puppets entre otro. Atención porque en directo no defraudan, el año pasado tuve la ocasiuón de verles en el DCode de Madrid y puedo decir que siguen en plena forma.
    Música independiente novedades.

  35. m.... ....

    Copenhagen tomorrow... looking forward to the concert

  36. Z.... A....

    so 90s i love this video so much!!

  37. D.... P....

    Great to see Suede is still making great music while the rest of the world gorges itself on Coldplay and Mumford & Sons.

    D.... P....

    Danny Provolone Coldplay are good, Mumford are shite

  38. K.... K....

    Video is shit sorry......

  39. m.... m....

    como mola la cancioooooooon!!!!! oooohhhhhh

  40. G.... C....

    Suede sounding like Suede. This is a good thing! The video is properly cack though.

  41. C.... ....

    Sounds like a lost Manic Street Preachers song. '90s awesomesauce!

    C.... ....

    ClavisRa except manic street preachers are talentless hacks and Suede are not

  42. K.... B....

    Brilliant song, horrible video ;-)

  43. t.... f....

    great stuff

  44. A.... E....

    90's Suede is back!!!!!

  46. s.... f....

  48. L.... T....

  53. M.... ....

    Great song and the video is really growing on me!

  54. S.... T....

    Oh Brett. He makes trash glamorous, indecency the new fashion of the underworld, beauty in decadence. He is not perfect, he might say words or make disses, who cares? We love him and the band all the same. Take defamation to court, this is music, listen or pixx off.

  55. Y.... M....

    Unfortunately this one sounds like song from a new morning...

    Y.... M....

    +Yuriy Matochkin What??? I couldnt disagree more!

  56. N.... B....

    saludos desde argentina... que buena banda loco, y que vos tan particular y buena

  57. Z.... F....

    Great song, terrible video (such as "Home And Dry -Pet Shop Boys)

  58. b.... ....

    Bring on night thoughts! 22 Jan 2016 Brett I love you

  59. b.... ....

    Pulp style video

  60. M.... H....

    Vomit girl is pretty hot

  61. M.... ....

    Has anyone got the lyrics for this? I'm playing it over and over like crazy the past few days cause the song is awesome but I keep missing one or two lyrics and it's driving me crazy! 😩😂

    Also not loving the video but it's an obvious throw back to their 90s stuff and 90s britpop videos in general and the sorta repetitiveness of parts of it is also a bit like Green Days - Redundant video. Love me some 90s britpop ☺️

  62. R.... B....

    one of the best singles I've ever heard by them, can't stand the video though

  63. d.... k....

    a good friend of mine wrote this song.  he is not allowed to say that.. BUT I CAN  !!!!!!    I think you probably know who he is , frankly.... er any more clues....  he's in Thailand

  64. F.... T....

    Great song, but not very good video, Thanks Suede

  65. A.... G....

    to all those criticising the video,
    it's part of the film by Roger Sargent that accompanies the album that they showed at the Roundhouse gigs. This works better in that than as a standalone video, and the rest of it's pretty conventional so it should satisfy all you normies xx

    A.... G....

    I may have considereed your opinion until you used the term 'normies'.

  66. A.... K....

    that's a lot of vomit

  67. D.... G....

    The video is awful and the song is very pedestrian. I'm not saying you can't write good songs anymore and should give up, just that they have to be better than this.

  68. d.... p....

    Video puts off.

  69. S.... C....

    Night Thoughts, par excellence album.

  70. V.... P....

    sound good.video not impress

  71. R.... C....

    classic suede

  72. l.... ....

    good.. fucking good

  73. s.... m....

    Good band 😈

  74. L.... P....

    a dance pop track... hope it isn't the centrepiece of the new album

  75. h.... ....

    this is so suede -from the coming up-
    Bravo folks!

  76. H.... ....

    Very much like watching a future "Sims-game".

  77. z.... e....

    love the voice and melody sooo much

  78. P.... S....

    Way to fuck up a video.

  79. C.... D....

    I hate it. Really preferred Outsiders

  80. A.... R....

    great great great song!! cheers!!!!

  81. �.... ....

    待望のスウェード節前回ソングですね!嬉しくなります☆PVはやりすぎ感が否めないかな。。見てられないです。。

  82. l.... ....

    There are parts of this song that sounds like another indie band. I don't know the name of the band. I think it's Canadian or American. Does anyone here know the name of the band and song?

    l.... ....

    I figured it out. This song reminds me of --Fathom Lines-- by the Hazey Janes, a Scottish Indie pop band

  83. m.... n....

    Suede almost sounds like Suede.

  84. I.... M....

    Nice song, regular video. They're much better than this. Still very much interested in the new album!!

  85. D.... H....

    ok was i detrimental to someone's pop career no. 1 - and did it spread Perhaps
    Chris Jarman is getting no more favours from the BBC Dave's catholic tutelage
    broke down pretty early on, mother all the worm escape his corseting but
    that is the aim of a christian moral education It's been look a like madness,
    even down to an advertising look a liking the flat taking full advantage of the
    particularity opening up from his diagnosis as paranoid THe companies involved
    include PUBLICIS and CAKE All for Luke Reed' greater gambit 4ALIENS is
    substandard Reed I got Liz Warner's house plans right here, now lets build the
    set (and of course, digital media means it can all be done on computer and
    green screen And this is British advertising This joke is getting into an
    obsessives joke – HENRIK She uses British advertising space over a
    misunderstood school memory your offensive marketing is deeply unsettling for
    me Chris Jarman's career, null and void it's a black tigers offensive Yesh,
    it's very Tom Wolf It would be yet another bonus if British writing could stop
    at selling their warez to their own people a barometer for jewish liberals,
    steve the suicide bomber you wait, speech impediments and steven Jon Ronson has
    a speech, HAD a speech impediment until his best work it was just a public
    relations exercise, steve the paedophile Asylum outta this junk shop culture
    called Luke Reed Let's expose BANKSY Easy, it's Jason Shuttleman from public
    school 14 Let's expose BENRIK in the tragic sitcom And they didn't, BBC writers
    are finit Look at how every episode refuses to mention his real issue totally
    irrelevant that steve also makes an appearance in a Peter Sotos text which gets
    made in to UNILEVER sponsored TImes embargo victimized oh, she gets the social darwinism
    she was doing it for a Watford clique ANd the BBC Gary Crowley as well, I know
    you why don't you f cuking tell him Now lets poke into Luke Reed' family tree
    and root out the unforgetables and that is a valid practise in Sweden to take
    mentally ill people off the streets Rid of Janet Street Porter as well, she got
    the backwards attitude in print circa 96 who does kneel upon approach chris
    jarman, david does for good reason nel who does knee upon approach seems like
    charlatan work nel, that privacy guarentee jon ronson cant stand the mental
    ill, they look awful putting up 3d renderings of peoples houses british
    advertising This is what Saatchi got upto And they take your privacy bit by bit
    and we give British advertising to Holland which improves British prospects abroad
    that was a trade secret, turnkey dave aphex twin, pass the buck one more time
    jonathan use psychotics in british advertising whatever colour creed faith duty
    the italian army I am suitable for NHS treatment on very particular grounds See,
    Luke Reed - and as if NHS folk want to deal with that the honorary Italians
    include helen, david, carlo, jim, jim, jim it's an italian ransake oh, the
    italian market is critical for Luke Reed you can see it all over his face too Luke
    Reed you want excellence, right wing is the way deserter yes, steve isn't an
    italian reject because he didn't ask entry jonathan quite honestly jonathan is
    the gay the italian loser figure next, it is bozo the air doesn't seem to be
    clearing next, the devastating critique of an Anglocized family, vutting us of You're
    not leaving it like that are you, is that European chimp advo No, Luke Reed is
    everything to do with this So is Moody DJ, Russell T Davies, Liz Warner, The
    Times, Peter Sotos, Derek Riddell -it's quite a catalogue because you are a sub
    standard i think that's safe to say Luke Reed, religious use of adverts has
    ruined my appreciation of the film in question i think i'm being persecuted
    very actually now they're religious mormons cvalled Italians I'm starting to
    think golly gosh St Joan of Arc MINDSHARE you're making the entire networks
    reek research peoples family english italian mongrels, english spanish mongrel,
    irish jewish mongrel mongrel. simian, golly outskirts this particularly golly
    cannot even take a registered psychotherapist seriously Maybe LSD kinda shocked
    me golly, sexual I dont know about golly but I'm definitely zombie yeah,
    gollied away from the action once gollification
    occurs, therapists Mrs Chippinham the but then again, i don't wantta mess with
    black therapist Kjewel either so what, no big deal, 17 year olds rejected all
    the time because david harle couldn't keep his effing mouth shut the
    paedophilie is a total decoy to waste time for her career ambitions A good
    start, Paul Burgess – golly And yet Eleanor Crowley was I didn't relate to
    anyone being put on the golly track perhaps because i'm not a racist, it's an
    attitude I don't know if many from that school shared in the same way, black
    people use the term loser to outcast Chris Jarman doesn' tneed to worry about
    Richard Dawkin's THe God Delusion if we were to take golly translations serious
    of course, if you are surrounded by golly it isn't there shouting jew certainly
    pushes people outside and then we don't care i think the diagnosis is frigidity
    and steps taken to save Lorna Geraghty, white, and her sexual needs Damned
    actor Derek And then we have offensive marketing and the controversy ratio
    sales and attentiobn Luek Reed forumula Can we reduce it to formulae for Luke
    Reed I use prostitutes for that reason Martin Amiss kinda put the freedom of
    argument into perspective for those nuts, but it's publication will come Why
    pick on South Mimms specifically? So Alex's family didn't want the #$%$ in? You
    had no right to use advertising to finish this one off so merrily fair enough,
    i don't particularly italians in moi circles but to take it to such epic ends
    Lorna Jonathan's Ameeeeeeeerican British family doesn't want #$%$ in fullstop but
    to those nods, #$%$ indian same ting and the social experiment continues I was
    Jon Ronson was hiding the truth beneath scrambled text it is just the will
    needed to make the entire production cast & crew millions someone was
    williing into being somesuch movie Ben Ruby golly logic pro as in, black german
    intellectual where there is a will, there is a way yeah. you\re fighting for
    somesuch Chris, not your bank balance again contravening what in particulars,
    including foul morbid and duck i mean how do we collate in terms of, race sex
    height class I think Jon Ronson is holding back evidence all crime start with a police statement I know Luke
    Reed is a slippery customer Is this really to do with childhood enemies of LTJ
    BUKEM why, coz i have a feeling mark is involved in that one too good, gay as
    in i get #$%$ her brother Oh goodie, Emma G childhood friend working at the
    chemist i get my prescriptions from BIGOT is not a substantial argument for my
    expulsion Sue David Harle for aping someone over cat calls paedophilia Excuse
    me cousin... i know nothing of lawyers WHere is the litigation markets It
    should become common practise amongst all people, litigation over these
    combustable media matters it shouldn't be upto public relations to smooooove it
    all over And it shouldn't be shameful to shutup music media toop i don't know
    the market, they offer no win no fee what does that mean Let's have a website
    detailing Morrissey and his involvement with the courts Where was my family
    taking this to court you said i had a psychotic illness pen names, lets see
    Hannah's book and then book war loser is not the word anymore THat's American
    you are listening to, at least they got the litigation culture to back it up THat's
    finit for Google Drive, you got backing up It's a French company, I'd say my
    goodbyes Let's get into who can be trusted with your data, internet company
    Sweden listen, litigation for those not particular suited to carrying weaponry #$%$
    i wasn't talking to nobody Luke Reed is a failure at his work. Litigation hurts
    #$%$ little mr MTV aswell I need someone to represent one in court to sue those
    turkeys for good Nuremberg Simple, more copy It wouldn't have reached Luke Reed
    had the courts stopped rot early i said to the psychiatrists early then most, i
    don't need you i need an effing lawyer and it's substandard practise from the
    BBC to expect NHS psychiatrists to carry the can who for? a hollywood
    superbeing that's Sarah Christopher timing, 2002 World Cup not a good time for
    him once advertisers reach suicide solution its time to drop them haha,
    publicis are flattering Luke Reed because they want to be friends with him nigel
    jones understands, I'm not surrounded by a legal team Luke Reed sues for libel
    every #$%$ fortnight and that's where teenagers don't get it i misread complete
    chris jarman, i had no clue who... it's a typical 1984 story for many and many
    folk wont take this to court because they still xxdabble it is a court issue suggest
    Luke Reed was high on cocaine dabble at the weekends it was a court case to
    begin with, Select EMAP shouldn't have been dabbling in those waters as we all
    know, formula bad taste / trophy wife * mortage, car payments etc but then
    collate the parties involved into the group scam chris imagined he was someone's
    rottweiler emma's the face of well it becomes a wheeze and where was everyone,
    Emma that fateful 2002. You were all cheering on David Connolly in Emma Lyons
    is a #$%$ features Absolutely point blank David Harle you piddy David Harle
    breaks up yet another good marriage David Harle the most regretful person
    Stephen x ever had in his life He's a deserter Oh, so was Liz Warner 2002,
    Japan and South Korea Well lets hope David Harle and Emma Glynn finally hit it
    off and get married for once

    Amazing...

  87. R.... K....

    Neil&Simon take sounds from Coming Up era.. Meanwhile Breet, Matt 'n Oakes take sounds from Bloodsport era.. Catchy song.. Underated video

  88. e.... ....

    at the roundhouse show this seemed out of place on the album. a pop song thrown in to detract from the darker side of the album. for those moaning about the crap vid. its part of the film made to accompany the album. its part of a story. really like this song as a single though.
