Yes,
yes, yes, now the sodding punks have as well. The face that
launched a thousand bin liners, Siouxsie Sioux, returns in the guise of
The Creatures and creates one of the finest singles of the year, in the
process discovering Mutant House.
My founded has been well and truly dumbed by "Standing There" in it's Andalucian mix. I have disliked the Banshees for a lot of this decade, so much so (and this is an old story) once walked out of a gig I was meant to be reviewing in order to see Sonic Youth across the road. Five minutes later Siouxsie broke her leg onstage. I assume it was the highlight of the evening since the music couldn't have been anymore dire. But "Standing There" is a different fishnet tights full of kettles, however. It's perhaps the most spiteful record I have heard for a long time. I think that the object of Siouxsie's bile are the sort of greboes/men who infest the precincts of any urban shopping area you care to walk down like Big Mac litter. Now you don't need a Magnum, just point this record between their eyes. |

VIDEO #1 | ||

Description: | ||
The band: Siouxsie Sioux, Budgie. The video, like the song focuses on the empowerment of women and begins with a reversal of the Adam and Eve story, with Budgie offering Siouxsie the apple, who in turn bites into it and spits it back into his face. The video has a flamenco feel to it and employs flamenco dancers to this end. Also featured is Siouxsie's niece seen pulling the head off an Action Man figure and smearing lipstick across Budgie's face. The female flamenco dancers are seen stamping their feet and having, what is best described, as a 'stand-off' with the male dancers. The scene where Siouxsie's niece smears Budgie's face with lipstick was deemed inappropriate by TV stations and once again The Creatures fell foul of the censors. A second edit was made to appease the programme makers. | ||

Oh sadness, oh sorrow, "Fury Eyes" is The Creatures at their least riveting. It's been that sort of week, with heroes toppling off their pedestals all over the shop, with exactly zero regard for their audience. Seeing "Plywood" Mike Tyson sucking on a towel and pleading for a chance to lose fairly was the final straw. If we can't trust Tyson, whom can we trust? And for us, it's merely the inconvenience of having our faith shattered. For Neneh Cherry, it's going to be the complicated and costly process of renaming her daughter Buster. This single is not, as far as I can tell, actually a song. It seems to be more of a doodle, really. A few xylophony noises that just remind you of "Hong Kong Garden", in vain of course, and Siouxsie singing rather like a crusty old maiden aunt. Also there's something in the way she rests her head on Budgie's shoulder on the sleeve that suggests that is is looking for a safe harbour. That's fine, but for goodness sakes, not on record! | ||

Description: | ||
The band: Siouxsie Sioux, Budgie. The set is brightly coloured/lit and consists of an array of burning candles. Wind chimes, mobiles and other paraphernalia hang from the rafters. Siouxsie and Budgie are seen marking time within the confines of a giant treadmill as clever use of lighting shows them in flickering shadow. The instrumental break entails a paper puppet show in silhouette and the video concludes with Siouxsie and Budgie in silhouette dancing against a background of multicoloured lighting. | ||

Fury Eyes Lyrics | ||
Punch me Judy make me cry You'll disappear and then I'll die A love that's lost always returns To feed the fire of a heart that burns There's no sleep for fury eyes So deep are the eyes of fury Watching faces changing places Running rings around the moon Exchanging glances taking chances Did we laugh and sing too soon Our stomachs turns on a fever stream But with no mosquito bite Rabid kisses in a dream Still we can't escape the sight There's no sleep for fury eyes So deep are the eyes of fury Tonight they exorcise the ghost Of love from its unyielding host If that don't suit you scream and shout If thine offend thee pluck it out Alone in love with the other one The one who doesn't know And when we dance with the other one The eyes of fury glow Tonight they exorcise the ghost Of love from its unyielding host If that don't suit you scream and shout If thine offend thee pluck it out Who'll weep for the fury eyes Beholding love a thing of beauty There's no sleep for fury eyes So deep are the eyes of fury |
