Suede
The Asphalt World (Original Unedited Version)
[Verse 1]
I know a girl, she walks the asphalt world
She comes to me, and I supply her with ecstasy
Sometimes, we ride in a taxi to the ends of the city
Like big stars in the backseat, like skeletons, ever so pretty
I know a girl, she walks the asphalt world

[Chorus]
But where does she go?
And what does she do?
And how does she feel when she's next to you?
And who does she love in her time-honoured fur?
Is it me or her?

[Verse 2]
I know a girl, she walks the asphalt world
She's got a friend, they share mascara, I pretend
Sometimes, they fly from the covers to the winter of the river
For these silent stars of the cinema
It's in the bloodstream, it's in the liver
I know a girl, she walks the arse-felt world

[Chorus]
But where does she go?
And what does she do?
And how does she feel when she's next to you?
And who does she love in her time-honoured fur?
Is it me or her?
'Cause that's where I go
And that's what I do
And that's how it feels when the sex turns cruel
Yes, both of us need her, this is the asphalt world
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
[Oh, it's me or her
It's me or her
It's me or her
Oh, it's me or her
It's me or her ?]

[Chorus]
But where does she go?
And what does she do?
And how does she feel when she's next to you?
And who does she love in time-honoured fur?
And where does she go when she's out with her?
Is that where they go?
Is that what they do?
And that's how it feels when the sex turns cruel
Yes, both of us need her, this is the asphalt world

[Outro]
If you'd like to take part in a few-
But, I've heard some wonderful things about your husband too
[?] mind
Oh, why should I mind?
[?] never lets me have more than one, but I'm scared stiff
Well you're drinking yourself stiff

And copi-
Each of our three races today, after which they drop off at Newton Abbott this evening; there's a whole lot more riding to be done. Today we're racing at the new course at Tottenham, and they're going-
