This is a song about moving somewhere new to start afresh, something I did at ages 16, 18, 21 (twice), 23, 24, 25, 29, and 34. It is track four of Suede's 1996 album 'Coming up', and it has an outro for the ages.

The 'Britpop' era of the nineties is something I intend to cover more on this channel.

She can walk out anytime, anytime she wants to walk out, that's fine
She can walk out anytime, anytime she feels that life has passed her by
And when I start my new life, I won't touch the ground
I'm gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground

He can walk out anytime, anytime he wants to walk out, that's fine
He can walk out anytime, across the sand, into the sea, into the brine
And when I start my new life I won't touch the ground
I'm gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground

So we sold the car and quit the job and shook some hands
And wiped the make-up right off and we said our good-byes to the bank
Left Seven Sisters for a room in a seaside shack

And when I start my new life I won't touch the ground
I'm gonna try hard this time not to touch the ground?

It's by the sea we'll breed
Into the sea we'll bleed
Into the sea we'll bleed
Into the sea we'll bleed
Into the sea we'll bleed
Into the sea we'll bleed
