About Trash

"Trash" is the first single from the album Coming Up by Suede, released on 29 July 1996, on Nude Records. It is the first single on which all the songs were written without guitarist Bernard Butler, since Richard Oakes had taken his place. The single is tied with "Stay Together" as the band's highest charting at number three; however, it outsold the earlier single, thus making it their biggest-selling single. The song also topped the Finnish chart in late August, keeping the Spice Girls' smash hit "Wannabe" at the number-two spot for two weeks before it took over the number-one position.

 Struggling with Trash? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Maybe  maybe it's the clothes we wear  
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair  
Maybe it's our kookiness  
Or maybe  maybe it's our nowhere towns  
Our nothing places and our cellophane sounds  
Maybe it's our looseness  
But we're trash  you and me  
We're the litter on the breeze  
We're the lovers on the streets  
Just trash  me and you  
It's in everything we do  
It's in everything we do
Maybe  maybe it's the things we say, 
The words we've heard and the music we play, 
Maybe it's our cheapness, 
Or maybe, maybe it's the times we've had, 
The lazy days and the crazes and the fads, 
Maybe it's our sweetness, 
But we're trash, you and me, 
We're the litter on the breeze, 
We're the lovers on the street, 
Just trash, me and you, 
It's in everything we do, 
It's in everything we do

Suede

Suede are an English alternative rock band from London, formed in 1989.

However, the band's lush follow-up, Dog Man Star (1994), saw Suede distance themselves from their Britpop peers.
