[Verse 1] [ speak deep movie trailer voice] On the midnight train to Venice They called him Suede Black suit, gold watch And a passport with no face He’d leave a red rose for the ladies On the bedsides in Peru Then slipped out the back When the wrong men came through In the back of the room She said, "stay the night?" He said, "Baby, I came for the map And I came for the fight" [Pre-Chorus] One look, one kiss Then the night got hot A thin red thread Led him straight to her spot [Chorus] Suede, James Suede Gone before the suits came (Suede) Suede, James Suede Every Crew knew his name He knew how to turn any night wild Suede, James Suede Lets Get wild [Verse 2] In Tangier, at dusk He met a woman in blue She hid codes in her ring And a knife in her shoe They danced past the bazaar Past the figs and the spice While the woman from Istanbul Kept her hand on her knife At a rooftop casino He swapped diamonds for dust When a grenade hit the floor And the whole place lit up [Pre-Chorus] One breath, one lie Then the skyline broke She said, "stay with me" But he was gone when she woke [Chorus] Suede, James Suede Gone before the suits came (Suede) Suede, James Suede Every Crew knew his name He knew the key To turn any night wild Suede, James Suede Let’s get wild [Bridge] In the Havana rain He learned her secret in the dark Met a singer with scars And a tremor in her heart She passed him a match And a number to call Then the harbor went red When the gunshots started to fall [Final Chorus] Suede, James Suede Gone before the suits came (Suede) Suede, James Suede Every Crew knew his name He took the truth And he left them lies Suede, James Suede Gone in style Suede, James Suede Let’s get wild
