“W.S.D.” stands for “We’re So Disco,” a phrase which appears in the lyrics and which was listed as the title of the demo version. The song is unusual amongst Suede’s early material due to its trip-hop-influenced sound, foreshadowing their foray into electronic music on 1998’s Head Music.

[Verse 1]
Dressed as a cowboy on top of a hill
It's sadder than it probably sounds
He gets lovely the more he's ill
Don't O.D. on him now
[Verse 2]
Dressed as a woman with horrible hair
And singing to the birds in town
Who goes walking through traffic out there
Don't O.D. on her now
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, is it true what they say about you?
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, is it true what they say about you two?
[Verse 3]
Married to me is a hungry son
Who wants to push me from the second floor
We're so disco, we can't get on
In this world anymore
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, is it true what they say about you?
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, is it true what they say about you two?
[Verse 2]
Dressed as a cowboy in a permanent gag
It's sadder than it probably sounds
So fucking what if he's licking the bag
Don't O.D. on him now
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, is it true what they say about you?
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, is it true what they say about you two?
Oh-oh, is it true what they say about you?
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, is it true what they say about you two?
Oh-oh-oh, is it true what they say about you?
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, is it true what they say about you two?
Oh-oh-oh, is it true what they say about you?
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, is it true what they say about you two?
