Anima Animus Singles

Such a sad boy
With your lost voice
In a metal box
Mailed second class

Into the twenty first century
With a lackluster cast of a b-movie
Got no mouth but you need to scream

You're sad
You're sad

Stir it up
From the permafrost
Your in the Kellogg's box
Meet the stepford kid

Into the twenty first century
Got no mouth but you need to scream

You're sad boy

If you wanna look for heaven
You're gonna have to die first
Watch your mother or your lover
Meet the dildo kid

Into the twenty first century
Got no mouth but you need to scream

You're sad boy
Sad boy

With your lost voice
In a metal box
Mailed second class

You're sad boy
Sad boy
Sad

	Hey! Siouxsie's back! She was always quite the headcase, what with her 'Hong Kong Garden' and the scary 'Playground Twist,' not to mention a half-hour reading of 'The Lord's Prayer.' The Creatures, her post-Banshees outfit with drummer Budgie, is an outlet, judging by this, of their darkest and angular musical needs. Dark? Oh, I should coco. The lead track has more scary bells on it than both Ice-T and Black Sabbath on National Scary Bell Day.

	Pinned Down Lyrics

	I can't think, can't speak Are you talking to me? I drift off with such ease I'm not listening you see Pinned down without a crown Are you talking to me? I drift off with such ease I'm not listening you see The same words flesh eating birds You always like to bring it down You want to own it you want to know it You're only safe when it's pinned down A bug stuck on a pin You love to see it struggling She's not a pet to be tamed Think you can bring her will to heel Your baying hounds head to the ground You always like to bring it down You can't take it can only break it You'll be the one that's left pinned down Pinned down without a crown Are you talking to me? I drift off with such ease I'm not listening you see Eat these words these praying birds Now I'm the one that lets you down Your pinned down and you've found It makes on difference to me

	Guillotine Lyrics

	Buckle and grind Your bubbling mind Can't shut it down It keeps running around No friend of mine You are no friend of mine Well you know we could've gone far I'm the one left alarmed Tumbling blind Double turbine How long consciousness Disembodied wreckage I'm paralysed With no friend of mine Well you know you wear Well you know if you tear Buckle and grind Your bubbling mind Can't shut it down A life it has found Want calm want friend want end Wanna Armageddon for Tumbling blind Trouble in mind Can't shut it down It keeps running around I wanna know I wasn't there I wanna hear Is there anybody out there Limbs over there They're not mine They're not mine Buckle and grind With your bubbling mind Trouble You're in trouble

	Slipping Away Lyrics

	Pale against the sun My world is slowly dissolving Ground beneath my feet It's melting away Black falls into black I'm just a shadow of my former self Losing gravity Don't you know I'm slipping away Fix your stare, load your eyes Now I'm shot down in flames Fix your stare, load your eyes All in the firmament flares A sea of melting clocks The tick tock - time dripping away All that was for real is just a memory Starting to fade All that was for real Just a memory slipping away It's slipping away

	2nd Floor

	Apartment door Is left ajar An eye in the glass On the parquet floor All the guests Have left and gone But I'm still here On the 2nd floor 2nd floor And I still want more 2nd floor Aftermath In a amber glow A vodka bath For this shipwrecked soul Seconds fly As the years flow by But I don't care I'm on the 2nd floor 2nd floor And I still want more 2nd floor Coming back for more Why fear death When death never hurt no one 2nd floor

	Inspiration/Influence/Band Comment:

	SIOUXSIE: "It's when you still want more, when you want the party to continue and it's beyond being sensible. I remember times when I was the one person left in a place, and the euphoria that goes along with it. 2nd Floor was my idea of what a private drinking bar would be, that was open all the time. There's something very religious about bars. They're like altars. The lighting. The colour of the bottles. Having a drink. It's like Santa's Grotto time." Source: Diva 04/99.



	Turn It On Lyrics

	All you rely on Here come the storms To shatter control From the war lords Can you feel the power It turns me on Unpredictable Turn it on Feel the power Invincible Wont play their games But we're a playful thing Everything to risk Everything to sink Gonna change what I can Accept what I can't Because I've got the power Chameleon Turn it on Feel the power Unpredictable Feel the power Untamable Turn it on Hurricane and earthquake Monsoon and tidal wave here come the storms They really turn me on Unpredictable Turn it on It turns me on Turn it on Omnipotent Unpredictable Untamable Invincible Chameleon Turn it on

	Exterminating Angel Lyrics

	Here it comes again Taste of jagged glass and rusty can There are just black holes Where the stars would be watching Just black holes Where the stars should have been Plumes of dirt Caress a urine coloured sun Swarms of angels Come to kill your sons And there's nothing but black holes Where the stars should've been Nothing but black holes Where the stars would be watching Oh those strange Argonauts Digging again in your pit Cover them in menstrual stream cover them black gold Plunge them into ingots Ripping through your menstrual stream Rising up taste of rusted can And jagged glass feeling again Here it comes again Hordes of locust blot out your sun Raining down rain on everyone Poor little rich thing Poor little bleeding heart Poor little misunderstood Piss on it I'm sick of it Enough is enough I wanna fuck it up Out of sync out of phase Out of sight out of spite Raining down raining everyone Poor little rich thing Poor little bleeding heart Poor little misunderstood Piss on it I'm sick of it Here it comes again Taste of jagged glass and rusty can There are just black holes Where the stars should've been Just black holes Where the stars would be watching

	Bristol Evening Post 25/03/99

	Siouxsie Sioux and Budgie's Anima Animus album was a real return to form, and Say is an exotic sounding track with layers of dark dance rhythms and Siouxsie's trademark smoky vocals. MT

VIDEO




	Description:
	The band: Siouxsie Sioux, Budgie. An underwater theme saturated in blues, purples and golds. Through a haze of bubbles, Siouxsie and Budgie submerse themselves in deep water and in a continuation of the theme are filmed from behind cylindular lamps of rippling liquid. The video has a dark, claustrophobic feel and the song itself is dedicated to friend and colleague Billy MacKenzie who had recently taken is own life.

	Say Lyrics

	I heard the news today Billy's gone away Left us all for good No one understood You only had to say I would understand You only had to say Whatever come what may I was feeling low You called and you were too We'd meet Saturday It happened on Wednesday You only had to say it's sad I would understand I don't want you brave A truce we made today If you're feeling sad On me you can depend You only have to say

	Broken Lyrics

	Broken... Why concede? Broken... Crumbling with grief Broken... I don't believe...you're broken You've given up turned it in on yourself now Thought it was out but outward in What's the point you can't be bothered To be consoled, to be absolved You're broken... Fingers bleed Broken Porcelain in pieces Broken Your head between my knees Broken... You've given up turned it in on yourself now Thought it was out but outward in What's the point you can't be bothered To be consoled, to be absolved You're broken So broken Broken So broken By a cowardly embrace It was sealed with a kiss By a charmer's face Ahhh... A dissonance left scarred but tattered About your face your haunted face And in disgust you turn dejected Can't be consoled...can't be absolved You're broken Crippled in a heap Broken With dreams that you won't sleep Broken Beggar in the street Broken A dissonance left scarred but tattered Broken About your face, your haunted face Broken And in disgust you turn dejected Broken Can't be consoled...can't be absolved You're broken Why concede? Broken I don't believe Broken Crippled in a heap You're broken Broken...Broken...Broken...Broken...

	All She Could Ask For Lyrics

	All she could ask for How could she want more? Down by the river her body lies cold Dream me an empire Dream me ocean floor Dream me an alibi Dream me her once more In her eyes my reflection In her eyes rivers dance In her eyes mute devotion In her eyes my defense Glistening Sculpture Life statuesque The sights overwhelm me I catch my breath Only the river, my only home I'll die beside her I'm going home Down by the river her body lies cold All she could ask for How could she want more?
