Q.2:How many times over the years have you sung"Aaa-howww"in
a song?
B.A:Probably most of them,I should think.It's just a little devic
I have.It's one of my little trademarks,I suppose.It probably gets
a bit boring after a while.There'sprobably a bit of a fine line
between developing a style and it becomeing laboured.Maybe I've
trod over that point sometimes,maybe I havent't.
Q.3:Could you explain the fascination with fuel in your lyrics?
The theme of diesel,gaspline and petrol runs through various Suede
tracks.
B.A:I think I use it as a sort of metaphor more then anything.When I
talk about being"high on diesel on gasoline",it's more the rush
of the city being something that gives you a high .That's how I use it.
Q.4:In Savoir Faire you mention a female who smokes crack and is a
"fucking machine".Is this someone you really know or were you just
looking for some lyrics that sounded good?
B.A:Most of the songs are baesdaround people Iknow,but they're not
specifically about anyone.It's always very neat to attribute the
words of a song to one particular perso,but I don't tend to do that
with my writing.When I'm writing about characters,it tends to become
an amalgamation of different people.Bits of real people and bits of
fantasy.I've very rarely written songs about specific people apart
from a good friend of mine called Alan,who I wrote Lazy and High
Rising about.
