About This Track

'Obsessions' by Suede is an alternative track from 'A New Morning (Deluxe Edition) [Remastered]' released in 2002. The lyrics home in on compulsive fixations, using vivid images of everyday gestures, from picking clothes from the floor to skin and clothing choices, before framing the feeling as “obsessions in my head”. The chorus then turns that fixation into a sense of disconnection, as the thoughts refuse to connect cleanly with the rest of life.

"Obsessions" is a single by Suede, from the album A New Morning (Deluxe Edition) [Remastered], released 29th September 2002. The track is 4:11 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 7 articles about Suede.

Lyrics

Obsessions

[Verse 1]

It's the way you pick your clothes off the floor

It's the way you scratch your skin when you yawn

It's the t-shirts that you choose like you're in the air force

Yeah, the language that you use reacts like chemicals

[Chorus 1]

Obsessions in my head, don't connect with my intellect

It's called obsession. Can you handle it?

It's connected to the hip sound

And it moves with the underground

It's called obsession when you're around

[Verse 2]

It's the way you close the doors of my car

It's the stupid things you bought with my credit card

It's the way you don't read Camus or Bret Easton Ellis

Yeah, the TCP you use, it stings when we kiss

[Chorus 1]

Obsessions in my head, don't connect with my intellect

It's called obsession. Can you handle it?

It's connected to the hip sound

And it moves with the underground

It's called obsession when you're around

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Harmonica Solo]

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 2]

Obsessions, it's like sex, it's simple and complex

It's called obsession. Can you handle it?

It's connected to the hip sound

And it moves with the underground

It's called obsession when you're around

    Suede - The Blue Hour

    A career highlight that stands against the best of their 90s work.
