Suicide Blonde Lyrics

Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Was the colour of her hair
Like a cheap distraction
For a new affair
She knew it would finish
Before it began
Something tells me you lost the plan

You want to make her
Suicide blonde
Love devastation
Suicide blonde
You want to make her
Suicide blonde
Love devastation
Suicide blonde

She stripped to the beat
But her clothes stay on
White light everywhere
But you can't see a thing
Such a squeeze
A mad sad moment
Glory to you
Glory to you
Take me there
Take me there

Got some revelation
Put into your hands
Save you from your misery
Like rain across the land
Don't you see
The colour of deception
Turning your world around again

You want to make her
Suicide blonde
Love devastation
Suicide blonde
You want to make her
Suicide blonde
Love devastation
Suicide blonde

Definitely written about Kylie Minogue, who wanted to "dye by her own hand" she decided to go peroxide blonde, so he wrote a song about it.

I agree, it's about his relationship with Kylie Minogue.

Song Meaning
Cover art for Suicide Blonde lyrics by INXS

I was a technician for INXS back in the 80's. This song is about Huchence girlfriend who was acting in a movie and needed to dye her hair blond. She made the comment that "they want to make me a suicide blond" so he took those lines and created the hit. Too bad he died soon after....

Umm... Close. Is your memory a touch off by a decade or so? Suicide Blonde, was, indeed a hair colour. But Michael died in 1997. The umm... actress? She came (and went) some time prior.

Thought it was about when michael was dating kylie minogue...

i heard the same thing, that it was about an affair that michael had with kylie minogue.. oh, those crazy aussies :) awesome song though!!

They had a relationship, not an affair. Doesn't one have to be married to have one? Or at least, it's not the sole, highly public, long term relationship.

I like the harmonica bit, good song, catchy as hell

It's about Kylie.

Also, she played a remixed version of this song before she performed a concert.

On March 5, 2007 Michael Hutchence's brother attempted to auction off a racy fax sent from Michael to Kylie Minogue. Supposedly lyrics from this song were included.

Another example of brotherly love, eh?

Not Rhett! LOL;)

The harmonica in this song freaking ROCKS.

It's very evocative of a beguiling woman... here are my favorite lines-

"Like a cheap distraction from a new affair"

"Stripped to the beat, but her clothes stay on"

And I adore the term "suicide blonde" and now use it in everyday speech.

"A mad sad moment"

Great part of the song...love that line. I remember the first time I heard it...
