Like Oceans We Drift Away

Oceans

We sit in silence
A marriage license
Is all you know
All you know, all you know

We sit and chew gum
Watch television
And you know
And you know, and you know

But there's oceans between us
Light years that screen us
Oceans that drift away
Oceans that fade to grey

We sit and rot here
Resenting each year
Will you go?
Will you go, will you go?

We sing the old songs
The beat box plays on
And you know
And you know, and you know

But there's oceans between us
Light years that screen us
Like oceans we drift away
Like oceans we fade to grey

Between us there's oceans
There's life in slow motion
Quietly we drift away
Quietly we fade to grey

As far as you and I are concerned, Suede changed the rules of pop music and everyone else just followed. When they formed around 1991, "independent" music was something to be sidelined not celebrated - bands released EPs and gazed at their feet and being successful didn't come into it.

Indeed, while they may have spurned Britpop, their cultural impact is of a far greater significance, they represent nothing more or less than the voice of disaffected youth.

**This is where the story ends. It has finally ended and it has to end. The story has been told. See you in the next life.
