Suede - This World Needs A Father Lyrics






Hold on, he's coming
Through the wheels of the star machine
Hold on, he's coming
Through the tears of your shit stained dream

In an anthem for the world
Let him waltz you down the river
Let him feel like boy or girl
With his sci-fi lullaby
Let the light of the bomb shine from him tomorrow
Yes this world needs a father for the sorrow
So let's have one, for the lovers
And one more, for the friends
'Cause drink to you is all I can do
As life slips down, down the drain

Hold on, he's coming
With the screen kissed spine of the past
Hold on, he's coming
With the style of the wormwood star

Sing an anthem for the world
Sing a farewell for the river
If you feel like boy or girl
Sing a sci-fi lullaby
Let the light of the bomb shine from him tomorrow
Yes this world needs a father for the sorrow
So let's have one more, for the lovers
And one more, for the friends
For drink to you is all I can do
Ss life slips down, down the drain

    With the style of the wormwood star

    can't agree anymore this's the taste of 90s' !

  3. J.... D....

    My favorite suede song as well. Quite possibly the most beautiful guitar lead I've ever heard & the lyrics are pretty poignant and more relevant today than ever . <3 Bernard

  4. J.... C....

    Unforgettable..

  5. B.... D....

    An atypical Suede-song to me, but a great song nonetheless.

  6. P.... C....

    superb lyrics. falsettos , guitar, its got it all. one of the best suede tracks from early days.

  7. t.... ....

    my favourite suede song

  8. L.... L....

    The most underrated suede song ever

  9. R.... P....

    Brilliant it's a shame it wasn't included on Sci-fi lullabies

    R.... P....

    It's so ironic that they got the name sci-fi lullabies directly from this song but they didn't even bother to include this song in the album.

    R.... P....

    yeah, especially as it contains the title in the lyrics: 'Sing a sci-fi lullaby'.
