Suede - The Drowners Lyrics

First CD I ever brought, Suede best in Brit Pop/Rock. Anderson and Butler a beautiful combination

Probably the last decade where it demanded effort from the listener. Now with YouTube, spotify etc you just don't go into town and buy records. Pity

Did you guys come hear from bile joes instagram i did

How does Brett sing in such a metallic way?

The pills were good in the 90's, and so were the bands..

This song won't like Bolsonaro :/

aueraje sim porra

My favourite song from my favourite album! I hope I could see them live someday...

Los amo

The blue hour is coming September 21st

un gran esito

ungían existo

1993.... Brett Anderson... Beth Jordache... it was a good year.

muito bom!!!!

This song is turning me gay.

Such a quality music!

Real sexy tune

2018 and still digging it

Their debut album is stunning. On high rotation in my car and at home.

妖しい

Brett made me gay thanks 4 that

Qué sonido tan fresco, parece nuevo 2018. Qué genios! Gracias por compartirlo! Saludos desde Argentina.

Such an awesome band!

25 years ago today

wow he's pretty! been listening to this band for years but never really looked at them. lovely 😘

That guitar hook by butler sounds fat and filthy😛

I love the anthem and refrain as the song plays out- sublime!

It beggars belief that the likes of justin beiber have millions of hits yet absolute class songs like this have less than a million!

Suede é osso Brasil

Anyone know who the girl is in the video?

Do you believe in love there?

The best britpop band.

But would jemima kirke be cool enough to be in a suade video if she was now back then?

can i just like.. marry this dude

This is so underrated it beggars belief

Everyone was so skinny in the 90s!!

partially sound like collective soul to anyone else

Weirdly this song reminds me of my first ever boyfriend

WHO IS SHE ?????

Pure nostalgia to me. Suede was one of the very best British alternative rock bands during the nineties. Their self titled debut album was truly epic!

This is oddly homoerotic...

Sounds like Ziggy era Bowie.

Brett, so sexy, amo su voz

I found this album last year sitting by a lamp post in Old Town, Albuquerque, on my way to visit my boyfriend at work. This CD is the shit. Thank you, universe.

Claire, Ian, Spud. camera man, and me... I remember filming some of this; M-Ocean pictures... 1992?

50/5000
Ore wa jibun no zaiseki shite ita bando no bēshisuto to kanojonoheya de kisu shita koto ga aru. Poppuna tōn ga suki-sa
I am a bassist with my own enrolled band
I have kissed her in the room. I like pope tone

Oh, my teenager years. Sadly, for me, I'm, still drowned. Great song, btw.

Like some say further down, you guys MUST LISTEN to the first Suede album if you haven't already. No kidding, it's a gem! Unfortunately the band didn't live up to the expectations of their first two LPs. Each album after that gets worse and worse. Unfortunately.

Suede. Better than Denim but not much

Who's the gorgeous young lady???

The way this guy pronounces vowels lol

brett looks soooo beautiful in this video

I can't stop listening to this. Its such a great song.
However, I'm sort of disturbed by the line "oh, well it's for my brother", because it kind of makes it seem like the rest of the song is about... his brother? err? I understand it might just mention the 'brother', then after that he's referring to the 'him' as a different person. but, err, its a bit weird, because now that I've noticed that I cant unhear it. Incest, yknow.

Brett why you so sexy

He's soooooo hot

The models remind me of blade runner for some reason

Som maravilhoso !

top tune

Was reading where Brett said he was a bisexual male but never been with a guy....I bet if he did that's who he be with no doubt

he's pretty

I'm sure this song made me go through a bit of a gay phase when I heard it as a slightly confused teenager in 1993.

reminds me of verruca salt

For me this is where the 90's really started.

Damn this is a great song

I don't know if i like Brett or the girl more

"We kissed in his room to a popular tune..."

Wasn't a Smiths song by any chance, was it? ;-)

Brett is seriously so handsome.

You're taking me ohhoooverr!

Happy birthday Brett!

I remember hearing this song in 1993 and both liked it and was a little freaked out by it as well. I was 18 years old and in the Navy at the time. I shared a room with two other guys, one of them bi-sexual. 1993 was before any of the armed services had instituted "Don't Ask/Don't Tell" and anyone caught doing anything homosexual or admitting being LGBTQ was quickly thrown in the brig and processed out of the service as fast as they could. I remember feeling so progressive and punk rock for living with our LGBTQ friend, like "haha fuck you Uncle Sam! Kass is my bi-sexual friend and you don't even know!"

Surprisingly it was not my bisexual friend that was listening Suede at the time but the other straight guy I shared the room with. He and I both grew up skateboarding and going to punk shows and stuff like that. He played The Drowners and wrote down the lyrics and was showing me why the song was controversial for the "We kissed in his room/ to a popular tune" part.

So this is the really fucked up part and highlights my incredible immaturity and nearly total ignorance concerning male homosexuality at that time. (Quick note that as an 18 year old kid with extremely severe ADHD my maturity level was probably much closer to 12/14 years old than it was to my actual age of 18.)

When I listened to The Drowners and read the lyrics I got this bizarre thought in my head that when Anderson was singing "You're taking me over" I imagined that when a gay man shoved his cock in another guys ass that he could kind of wear him and control him like a puppet. To imagine this idiotic scene in my head just picture a guy plugging into another guy kind of the way that the big blue guys in Avatar connected their tails to their horse-like mount creatures or the flying mount creatures to command them and share thoughts and feelings.

All these years later and every time I hear this song I still remember that stupid, ignorant, bizarre concept of men plugging into another guys ass to link with his mind and control his thoughts and actions as if they were his own.

Like "unplug your cock from my ass because you're taking over my ability to control my own mind and body! I have too much shit to do today and no time to be walking around with you up my ass!"

I was and remain a pretty fuckin' weird guy to this day.

TJIS IS GOLD SKD

One of the very few bands of that era that I can go back to and listen to today and it still sound innovative and fresh. And those videos, it's only in hindsight I see just how avant garde they were! Just realized also (cos I'm slow) that there is very little that early Radiohead did that wasn't already done by these guys. Bernard Butler in Radiohead....now that would have been something.

in his room we kissed to popular tunes...

esto da miedo

Me encanta, qué buena canción! ❤️

I remember mistaken this song for The Drowners - Luv Hold Me Down LOL

FSA fsa fsa FSA hace una versión y es absolutamente mejor jajaja..

crazy vid from the 90s yo

Brett...
marry...
me?

he’s mine, love

I'd sit on his face for like 24 hours.. but I won't ever in this life : (

Yes. I also enjoy Suede's music.

Ho Maggie you a ho maggie

Perhaps it will happen in the next life?

wow mood

Fat ass?

Suede owe a huge debt to Bowie, especially Brett. Today, we salute Bowie's enduring legacy, bid him good-bye, and be content that, because of Bowie, there will be more Suedes and Placebos and (yes) Gagas.

Gaga is a great musician, very talented, and artistic as well. No argument there.

Popist The Smiths were a big influence too.

Placebo > Suede

loved your comment !

They don;t owe anybody anything. Guys like you who link Bowie and the Beatles and the Smiths to every future band. A song is a song and this is a great one and Suede wrote and performed it themselves so go fuck off with your "they owe a huge debt" bollox

this singer is just a "fake" drag. In fact, he is just a hetero male, just like me.

gustavo pereira But he writes much better songs 😊

Well, he's not. At least then he wasn't. He said he was bisexual, and why do you think you get to decide someone else's sexual orientation?

What's your point?

So what?

Bernard like a 15 year old child

LOL, they were all children.

and so my twenty + years love affair began...incredible band.

One regret of my life. Existing back then but not knowing about Britpop from early to mid 90's because I was born in early 90's. Thankfully I remember some parts of 90's Mtv and I would cherish it forever.

You taking me over, yeah..

The far superior radio edit. Thanks!

Una lástima que ellos no se escuchaban tanto como Oasis o Blur en Mexico en aquel entonces... a mí me gustaban mas ellos, pero de lejos.

Pero tuvieron una recepción muy calurosa por parte del público en el Corona Capital de este año. Los años habrán pasado por ellos, pero afortunadamente sus canciones siguen sonando fantásticas.

LucielZ1 Oasis y Blur son buenos, pero Suede *es lo mejor* 😁😁😆

oh this main girl is fabulous, i'm rather excited.
btw what a song!

@ 3:47 it's oh-vur!!!

+Ben Baxter hi

i used to think it was "ever"
and my first language is not English so when I heard this as a kid I was like "wtf that makes no sense" haha

oh the memories :)

Anyone know the name of the main girl in the video, she's beautiful.

Brett Anderson. Glad to help :)

+Robbie Dadomo-Edgington LOL! But seriously other than Brett who is the main model chick?

Honestly I would really like to know too

Blur's Bitch

a melhor banda do gênero

how good!?!?!?!?!
