Open your eyes and live again
And I'll open my heart and love again
I'll open my mind deep inside yes I know it's blue
We all believe in Amsterdam
Paris and Spain and Vietnam
No one believed you when you said your heart was blue
It's raining inside and it's raining tonight
and it's raining for me and for you
'Cause all that we see is a life fucked by money
and a world of celebrity fools
Oh Simon are you lost in the pollution?
Simon are you somewhere in my soul?
Simon are you nothing but a notion?
Simon where do we go... now
Planes write your name up in the sky
And flowers die for your suicide
The train stops in vain and the pain stop for you
And we all believe in insulin
Perfume and soap and ventolin
But no one believed you when you said your heart was blue
It's raining inside and it's raining tonight
and it's raining for me and for you
When nothing makes sense but the pounds and the pence
and the dollars and cents are we lose?
Oh Simon are you atoms in a jam jar?
Simon are you somewhere in my soul?
Simon are you nothing but a photo in a passport?
Simon where do we go...
Oh
Oh Simon oh
Oh Simon oh
Oh Simon oh, oh
And I'll open my heart and love again
I'll open my mind deep inside yes I know it's blue
Paris and Spain and Vietnam
No one believed you when you said your heart was blue
and it's raining for me and for you
'Cause all that we see is a life fucked by money
and a world of celebrity fools
Simon are you somewhere in my soul?
Simon are you nothing but a notion?
Simon where do we go... now
And flowers die for your suicide
The train stops in vain and the pain stop for you
Perfume and soap and ventolin
But no one believed you when you said your heart was blue
and it's raining for me and for you
When nothing makes sense but the pounds and the pence
and the dollars and cents are we lose?
Simon are you somewhere in my soul?
Simon are you nothing but a photo in a passport?
Simon where do we go...
Oh
Oh Simon oh
Oh Simon oh
Oh Simon oh, oh

This song is about Simon Holbrook. Simon Holbrook is Brett Anderson's friend. He suffered from melancholia,suicide in 1996.
I loved this song the first time I heard it and it's one of my favourites, though I have to say that it's probably the only Suede song that I actually enjoy. I have no idea who Simon The Clown is but the guy who wrote this song is obviously jaded and wary of the world and Simon is probably his conscience or whatever it is that he's missing. The lyrics here are incomplete though.
this song is rather slow compared to the other Suede songs... but i like it. I don't know the real meaning, but a friend told me it's about Simon the Clown (know him?) who, like all clown are always smiling, that's why no one believes him when he said his heart's in blue..
