Heroine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She walks in beauty like the night
Discarding her clothes in the plastic flowers
Pornographic and tragic in black and white
My Marilyn, come to my slum for an hour
[Chorus]
I'm aching
To see my heroine
I'm aching
Been dying for hours and hours
[Verse 2]
She walks in the beauty of a magazine
Complicating the boys in the office towers
Rafaella or Della, the silent dream
My Marilyn, come to my slum for an hour
[Chorus]
I'm aching
To see my heroine
I'm aching
Been dying for hours and hours
Been dying for hours and hours
[Verse 3]
She walks in beauty like the night
Hypnotizing the silence with her powers
Armageddon is bedding this picture, alright
My Marilyn, come my to slum for an hour
[Chorus]
I'm aching
To see my heroine
I'm aching
Been dying for hours and hours
I'm eighteen
And I need my heroines
I'm aching
Been dying for hours and nobody knows
[Outro]
I'm never alone now
'Cause I'm with her, with her, with her
And nobody knows
I'm never alone now
'Cause I'm with her, with her, with her
And nobody knows
I'm never alone now
'Cause I'm with her, with her, with her

What did Suede say about "Heroine"?
‘Heroine’, is one of my favourites in terms of poetic imagery. I like the way the words shake and judder along. Some words just work as sounds, you don’t have to know what they mean […] like ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues’ — little unconnected lines and phrases.
–Brett Anderson, Melody Maker, 1994
