Don't think I've featured much, if anything, from post-Bernard Suede before, so let's remedy that today. The Chemistry Between Us was from 1996's Coming Up, released at a time when Brett's own chemical use was starting to get a little beyond him. Whatever. At the time, the "class A, class B" lyric might have seemed a little risqué - now it seems barely noteworthy, something even Ed Sheeran sings about.
By some distance my favourite Suede album. Marvellous stuff.
ReplyDeleteI think I was in too much of a "not the same without Bernard" sulk at the time, to enjoy it properly, but it is mighty fine.
DeleteYeah, but when Ed Sheeran sings about it, he's on about which train carriage he's sitting in.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Can't believe I linked to an Ed Sheeran video.
DeleteI've done worse.
DeleteMe too. The blogging shame.
