He’s Gone


These are the thoughts that you keep inside
And you smile from your window
And stand all alone
And pour all the love that you keep inside
Into a song
Like “He’s Gone”

And like the leaves on the trees
Like the Carpenters’ song
Like the planes and the trains
And the lives that were young
He’s gone
And it feels like the words to a song

– From “He’s Gone
by Brett Anderson and Neil Codling of Suede
and from the band’s 1999 album, Head Music
