My Insatiable One

Suede

In the high life I've got this feeling now
I've got this horrible feeling
On the escalator they took it out on him
As the ridiculous world went by

Oh he is gone
He's my insatiable one

On the high wire dressed in a leotard
There wobbles one hell of a retard
On the escalator we shit paracetamol
As the ridiculous world goes by

Oh he is gone
He's my insatiable one
And he was my inflatable one

    I guess it was inspired on Bret Easton Ellis' "Less than Zero" a Brett's favourite so includes all above refered: Brett's new kind of life, drugs, raves, anal sex, living on the edge... as that ridiculous world goes by

    Can someone explain to me the paracetamol part? I don't get it.

    Brett's said both that it's himself from Justine's perspective (in Love and Poison) and 'gay animal sex' (in Introducing the Band). I can't help wondering how those two reconcile.

    Morrissey covered this song live. Respect.

    To quote Mr. Anderson, "This is a song about gay anal sex." I find it hard to disagree with him.

    I dunno, maybe you're thinking of "the drowners."

    This song is about Brett from the perspective of Justine. The inflatable bit is a complete throwaway.

    I love this song--but I think it doesn't mean much of anything sensible. More like a surrealist painting, if you ask me.

    I think Salvador Dali wanted a conjoined schizoid-analysis to render his Persistence of Memory incalculable. He found it in Sleep
