I'm in the 'pro-Elephant Man camp'. This song must have divided more Suede fans than practically any other. I realise lyrically, 'Head Music' was not up to speed, but at least on this one Brett went for a nonsense fun glam rock song and actually pulled it off. I don't fancy interpreting the lyrics as they are absurd, but I will say before anyone judges too hard... Remember Suede always had contrary side to their more beautiful and poetic stuff. Look at Implement Yeah!, Bored, Dolly, Introducing The Band, Sam, Young Men etc... Sometimes they like to get a little kooky and that's alright by me.
'Savoir Faire' however is just arse plain and simple.
