“Flytipping”, the final track on Suede’s The Blue Hour, tells the story of a couple letting go of all their possessions and moving forward with the next stage of their lives. The longest song on The Blue Hour, it ends with an extended coda that recalls the main motifs of the album’s opener, “As One”...
Flytipping Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We'll play on the road
Flytipping, careful as you go
And we'll watch as the lorries
Transport their precious loads
[Verse 2]
With a bag in our hands
Flytipping, me and my patient man
Just by the hard shoulder
This few who've understood
[Chorus]
What is my name, what is yours?
Do we own these things, what has it all been for?
Flytipping on the road of course
What is yours and what is us?
Do we fool ourselves with all those pretty words?
Flytipping on the road with her
[Post-Chorus]
And I'll take you to the Fir trees
As the paper drifts like falling snow
[Verse 3]
Under the trees
Two hunters looking for ivory
Discard their possessions
Cast them to the breeze
[Verse 4]
'Cause the worms in the ground
And the crows as they circle round
Don't need these things to cling to
For a homestead playground
[Chorus]
What is my name, what is yours?
Do we own these things, what has it all been for?
Flytipping on the road of course
Shiny things that turn into rust
So we show ourselves with all this pretty stuff
Flytipping feels like just enough
[Post-Chorus]
And I'll take you to the verges
By the nettles, by the roundabout
And I'll pick you wild roses
In the tunnels like the underpass

The following is taken from a track-by-track commentary for The Blue Hour:
Neil Codling:
When we first wrote it, the song sounded a little bit “trad-”, and we had to strip it back to make it work… and when we had it like that, it suddenly worked.
Brett Anderson:
The end section was something we...
