About Lazy

"Lazy" is the fourth single from the album Coming Up by Suede, released on April 7, 1997, on Nude Records. It was also the fourth single from the album to reach the top ten, peaking at number nine. The video for the song was directed by Pedro Romhanyi, who previously made videos for the band's songs, "Animal Nitrate", "Beautiful Ones" and "Saturday Night". The rather abstract clip features mostly slow motion shots of the band relaxing inside a bedsit, as singer Brett Anderson peers through a tiny gap in the floorboards into his neighbour's apartment. At one point in the video, keyboardist Neil Codling is seen laughing as he feeds a mushroom to some goldfish before confronting Brett Anderson with a mirror he positions in a way which shows their faces combining as one. "Lazy" was produced by Ed Buller, while the additional B-side tracks were by Bruce Lampcov. The song "Digging a Hole" on CD2 was written and performed solo by keyboard player Neil Codling on lead vocals, although is still credited as Suede.

Here they come with their make up on 
As lovely as the clouds  come and see them  
Boys and girls and their mums and their words 
And their romances and jobs and their sons  

Barking mad kids  lonely dads 
Who drug it up to give it some meaning  
From the raves to the council estates 
They're reminding us there's things to be done. 

But you and me  all we want to be is lazy  
You and me  so lazy
Here they come gone 7 am 
Getting satellite and Sky getting cable, 

Bills and Bens and their mums and their friends 
Who just really, really want to be loved, 
Uncle Teds and their legendary vests 
Helping out around the disabled, 

From the flats and the maisonettes 
They're reminding us there's things to be done. 
But you and me, all we want to be is lazy, 
You and me, so lazy

It's you and me, it's you and me, you and me

Suede

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