MURDERING
MOUTH
(Unreleased)
Like a typewriter tearing through the paper
Your shark's grin teeth bite down never smiling
And at the center there's always you my darling
Yes at the center always you my dearYour murdering mouth is
forever hungry
Your murdering mouth leering at me
Your murdering mouth relentlessly pounding
Your murdering mouth takes aim at me
Point blank bullets flying straight through me
Shatter light fields that never harm me
Multiple stab wounds yet no bleeding
No bleeding never any healing
These open wounds that fester and rupture
These open wounds under merciless attack
I only asked you if what you say is true dear
I only asked you if what you do is fair
Your murdering mouth is forever hungry
Your murdering mouth leering at me
Your murdering mouth grinding and snapping
Your murdering mouth pointed at me
I'm lying dead here staring at the ceiling
I'm lying dead here yet there is no crime scene
Multiple stab wounds there's always you my darling
White jagged opening closing
At the center always you my darling
At the center always you my dear
At the center always you my darling
At the center always you my dear
At the center always you my darling
At the center always you my dear
At the center always you my darling
At the center always you my dear
At the center always you my darling
At the center always you my dear
At the center
At the center
At the center
At the center always you my darling
At the center always you my dear |
THE PASSENGER
(Written by Iggy Pop)
(Siouxsie & the Banshees 1987 - Through the looking glass)
I am the passenger
and I ride and i ride
I ride through the city's backside
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah the bright and hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonightI am the
passenger
I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
over the city's ripped backside
and everything looks good tonight
Singing la-la-la-la
la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la,
la- la-la
Get into the car
we'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
We'll see the city's ripped backsides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
Stars made for us tonight
O the passenger
how how he rides
O the passenger he rides and he rides
He looks through his window
what does he see
He sees the sign and hollow sky
He sees the stars come out tonight
He sees the city's ripped backsides
He sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
'cause it just belongs to you and me
so lets take a ride and see what's mine
Singing la-la-la-la
la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la,
la- la-la
O the passenger he rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window side
He sees things he knows are his
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the city sleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight
And all of it is yours and mine
And all of it is yours and mine
So lets ride and ride
and ride and ride
Singing la-la-la-la
la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la,
la- la-la |
VENUS
IN FURS
(The Velvet Underground -
1967)
Shiny shiny shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Comes in bells your servant don't forsake him
Strike dear mistress and cure his heart
Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin, awaits you there
I am tired I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colours made of tearsKiss the boot of shiny shiny
leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs the belt that does await you
Strike dear mistress and cure his heart
Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip in love not given lightly
Taste the whip now plead for me
I am tired I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colours made of tears
Shiny shiny shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Severin, your servant comes in bells
please don't forsake him
Strike dear mistress and cure his heart

WITCHCRAFT
(Frank Sinatra)
Those fingers in my hair
That sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bareI
it's witchcraftAnd I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do
'Cause it's witchcraft wicked witchcraft
And although I know it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in my
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch'
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you |
B-SIDE OURSELVES
(Siouxsie & the Banshees
1994 - 7'' & cd single O Baby)
Release the angels
go on release them
Rose petal squadrons the bees are swarming
warming your cold skin
Such a womanly man such a boyish
girl
clurching at string of blackened pearls
warming your cold sting
Didn't they teach you anything at
all
Something's not better than nothing at all
B-side ourselves
O you belong where we belong
into the landslide clandestine
beside ourselves
Instincts to guide us through this foggy world
We're beside ourselves
B-side ourselves |
TATTOO
(Siouxsie & the Banshees
1983 - 7'' & 12'' single Dear Prudence)
When you're sitting all alone
in the middle of the floor
there's something uncontrollable
as you sit there watching the door
Colour me
tattooed on the insideSlap your thigh slap
your calf
sing your mantra leave your mark
Colour me
Something fierce along my spine
to scare the madman from behind
fortify my arms
with some snake-like lines
Colour me colour me
Like a stomach split in half
by a surgeon's cutting art
Colours me colours me colours me
When you're sitting all alone
in the middle of the floor
there's something uncontrollable
as you sit there watching the door
Tattooed on the inside
a lonely feeling inoculating
colours me
Slap your thigh slap your calf
sing your mantra leave your mark
Colour me |
