	Siouxsie always had a bit of the old Alice In Wonderland about her and it's not surprising that she should choose to revive a Beatles song from their most whimsical period. She's even kept the phasing. But does she know that it was originally written for actress Mia Farrow's sister? Thought not. David Hepworth

VIDEO




	Description:
	The band: Siouxsie Sioux, Steven Severin, Budgie, Robert Smith. Shot 04/09/83. The band are filmed along the streets and waterways of Venice. There is no storyline as such, just the camera following the band as they cavort around Venice as day turns into night. This is the first video appearance of Robert Smith and the first Banshee promo video to be directed by Tim Pope, who both bring a sense of fun to the proceedings. There are some clever camera effects including the superimposing of the waterways over parts of the footage, giving the video a colourful and overall psychedelic feel. A scene to look out for is when Severin is walking down some stone steps having been accosted by the local police.

	Dear Prudence Lyrics

	Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day The sun is up, the sky is blue It's beautiful and so are you Dear Prudence won't you come out and play Dear Prudence open up your eyes Dear Prudence see the sunny skies The wind is low the birds will sing That you are part of everything Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes? Look around round Look around round round Look around Dear Prudence let me see you smile Dear Prudence like a little child The clouds will be a daisy chain So let me see you smile again Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?

	SEVERIN: "I think reviews that said it wasn’t particularly different to the Beatles’ version haven’t listened to the original to find out. It’s completely different. On the ‘White Album’, it’s a soft ballad, we’ve just made it sound like the Banshees." Source: Melody Maker 01/10/83. SMITH: " ’Dear Prudence’ is not trying to open another door so we can eventually ingratiate ourselves a little bit more into the popular consciousness." Source: Melody Maker 01/10/83.

	Tattoo Lyrics

	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 A warm feeling Tattooed on the inside Slap your thigh, slap your calf Sing your mantra, leave your mark Colour me Something fierce along my spine To scare the mad men from behind Fortify my arms With some snake like vines Colour me Colour me Colour me Like a stomach split in half By a surgeons 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 But tattooed on the inside A warm feeling inoculating Colours me Slap your thigh, slap your calf Sing your mantra, leave your mark Colour me

	There's A Planet In My Kitchen Lyrics

	Oh there's a planet in my kitchen There's something funny in the soup Mop the floor, lock the door Flying saucers in the room Did you hear that fly? Knives and spoons of mountain dunes A freezer full of loony tunes Detergent bubbles There's millions of those buggers And there's a bucket in the moon Did the kitchen sink wink? Tornados of cornflakes And snowflakes Teacups in orbit Hello? Did you hear that fly? Well I'm not waiting any longer I'll just sneak back in the larder And wait Plant Kitchen's taken over There's a planet in my kitchen Now there's a kitchen in my plant Planet Kitchen's taken over It's taken over

	When the samurai cries It's like an unloved child And when the sad child sighs You can hear the sound of lovers' cry Lovers' cry Wait until the dark For the night dog's bark When the ravens beat their wings On broken promises I promise, I promise I promise, I promise When a promise lies, It's like a friend that dies When a flame has died All you can do is sigh Oh sigh Sigh, oh, sigh, sigh! And when the samurais dies Oh loveless child And the nightingale sighs At the saddened, blackened sky You will hear the sound of lovers' cry You will hear the sound of lovers' cry On broken promises I promise, l promise I promise, I promise

	Dazzle Lyrics

	The stars that shine And the stars that shrink In the face of stagnation The water runs Before your eyes Swallowing diamonds Cutting throats Your teeth when you grin Reflecting beams on tombstones A jamboree of surprises Playing Russian Roulette, or the lucky dip A clench fist to your heart Coal dust on your lung Dazzle, it's a glittering prize Dazzle, it's a glittering prize A silver tongue for the golden one In a dead sea of fluid mercury Baby piano cries, under your heavy index and thumb Pull some strings, let them sing The stars that shine And the stars that shrink In the face of stagnation The water runs Before your eyes Dazzle, it's a glittering prize Dazzle, it's a glittering prize

So that’s the line - ‘Swallowing diamonds, cutting throats’. " Source: Melody Maker 17/10/92.

MCCARRICK: "I'd been recording a Peel session with Marc Almond and it was all going horribly wrong. Marc was screaming, everyone else was screaming, and then there was this shout from down the corridor. It was Sioux and Budgie. She looked about 7ft tall and with the most piercing blue eyes - a terrifying vision in real life, like a big strutting cockatoo. Shortly afterwards, she sent a tape over to me, Anne and Gini. It was her playing a piano part which she wanted arranged for a big string section. That turned out to be the intro to 'Dazzle'." Source: The Authorised Biography 2002.

	I hope this grows on me because I don't think much of it up to now. It's got a sort of staccato piano rhythm backing Siouxsie's powerfully gliding voice and it's all punctuated by a scratchy echoey guitar, much like the one on 'Israel'. I suppose it fits in well with the new album, but by itself I think it's one of their weakest singles yet. And for Heaven's sake don't ask me what 'he gives birth to swimming horses' means.

VIDEO




	Description:
	The band: Siouxsie Sioux, Steven Severin, Budgie, Robert Smith. The video has an overall 'underwater' quality. The whole band wear white, reeds hang down in clumps, bubbles rise to the surface and there are subtle changes of colour. Siouxsie is in the forefront while the rest of the band, wearing masks remain motionless in the background. Siouxsie was persuaded to use a make-up artist for the first time and looks strangely orange. The main feature of the video is undoubtedly the swimming horses superimposed over some of the footage of the band. However the band were not happy with the results. The understanding was that the horses would be filmed from above, not from under the water and they felt that the whole video looked stilted and lifeless. Hence the video is still to receive an official release. It was left off the 'Twice Upon A Time' video collection and resulted in a shift in the bands relationship with video director, Tim Pope. Last Banshees video that Robert Smith would appear in.

	Swimming Horses Lyrics

	Falling in your Falling in your In your arms In your arms Fish on a line learns to live on Dry land Thrown back again to drown Kinder with poison Than pushed down a well Or a face burnt to hell Feel the cruel stones Breaking her bones Dead before born Words fall in ruins But no sound She's dying of your shame She's maimed by your pain He gives birth to swimming horses He gives birth to swimming horses Fish on a line But back in the water to drown We drown Floating in sky He gives birth to swimming horses He gives birth to swimming horses Take a ride on the tide With the assassin at your side This weightlessness under water Forgets in slow motion And washes pointless tortures He gives birth to swimming horses He gives birth to swimming horses Floating in sky like fishes can fly Through your arms

	Inspiration/Influence/Band Comment

	SIOUXSIE: "This is based on a programme I saw about a female version of Amnesty, called ‘Les Sentinelle’. "They rescue women who are trapped in certain religious climates in the Middle East, religions that view any kind of pre-marital sexual aspersion as punishable by death - either by the hand of the eldest brother in the family, or by public stoning. And there was this instance of a woman whose daughter had developed a tumour, and, of course, gossip abounded that she was pregnant. The doctor who removed the tumour allowed her to take it back to the village to prove that, no, it wasn’t a baby - but they wouldn’t believe her. The woman knew her daughter would have to be stoned to death so she poisoned her, out of kindness, to save her from a worse fate. So the song starts, ‘Kinder than with poison...’ I also used the imagery of, ‘He gives birth to swimming horses’, from the fact that male sea horses give birth to the children, so they’re the only species that have a maternal feel for the young. It was, I suppose, an abstract way of linking it all together without being sensationalist. I remember just being really moved by that programme, and wanting to get the sorrow out of me."

	Let Go Lyrics

	Nautical mile stretch out for years A space walk, untethered, let go of your fears A pioneering seed with every step you breathe Walks away from the crouching shuttle And the countdown probe Around the globe says let go Machine in charge with the wry smile flickers On his red and blue dials Nautical miles stretch out the years The back pack suffocation with your creeping fears And the countdown probe Around the globe Just let's go On an endless limbo And the countdown probe Around the globe Just let's go Let Go

	Like most Banshees' records, this flatters only to deceive. An absolutely titanic meeting of 'The Onedin Line' and the '60s Wall Of Sound', it sweeps all before it - old ladies faint, children take cover, grown men weep openly etc - on first hearing but fails to move thereafter. Still their best for ages. Ian Cranna

VIDEO




	Description:
	The Band: Siouxsie Sioux, Steven Severin, Budgie. Although Robert Smith does play on this song his commitments with The Cure meant he did not appear in the video. The video, in keeping with the lyrics of the song has a very definite theme. A studio performance on a specially constructed set designed by Nigel Talamo & Caroline Greville-Morris that utlilises everything that sparkles, tin foil, metal, stars, etc.... The song starts with splashes of water hitting the ground and cascading back up. The main action is centred on Siouxsie, who with the aid of her ring festooned, glittering elbow length gloves, makes fast angular shapes. The resulting effect is a blurring trail of light. This is inter-cut with shots of Severin and Budgie playing their respective instruments, cutaway shots of tambourines and turning gun barrels and moving liquid mercury. The highlight is undoubtedly Siouxsie's jewel encrusted eyelids that when viewed briefly give the impression of her eyes being wide open.

	NME 25/10/84

	Remixed and remodelled with strings, choirs and all the production of a 'Hooked On Classics' effort, 'Overground', 'Voices', 'Placebo Effect' and 'Red Over White' do The Banshees credit - it doesn't sound in the least bit silly, clichéd or pretentious, three traps which most previous classical/rock experimenters have fallen into headfirst. In fact, the power of a classical orchestra is the perfect foil for the band's grindingly insistent sounds and there's something about Siouxsie's voice which benefits from such a combination of chaos and formality. 'Overground' is the undoubted highlight, with the orchestra churning away at a sort of spaghetti western backing full of castanets and snare drums while the guitars snarl angrily between them. A little reminiscent of Deep Purple's 'Concerto For Group And Orchestra'... but let's not go into that. Mark Jenkins

	You dip your hands into my flesh And say you won't reveal a scar I must have faith in this procedure It's a miracle, It's a wonder A thousand hidden needles In a thousand covered nerves Stick pins in my receptacles Look to your Voodoo doll, your mojo Staying alive at five For you to cure my ailments Another soul is saved With your bogus medications Which colour shall we have today? Depends on how I feel you say Consult your research on the media See blue will calm my hysteria Staying alive at five For you to cure my ailments Another soul is saved With your bogus medications Staying alive at five With your empty containers Another corpse ornaments your waiting room A placebo effect reversed Will you ever regret, the placebo effect Can you ever forget, the placebo effect

	SIOUXSIE: "We did this EP with Hedges in Bavaria. We wanted a stream babbling through one song, 'Red Over White', so Hedges set everything up in a field beside a stream. I felt really stupid at first because there were these blood curdling screams I had to do. I got over it and really started enjoying myself, when I noticed the lights coming on in the farmhouses in the distance. They must have thought a sheep was being strangled or something. We didn't use it in the end. The EP broke in our new guitarist, John Carruthers, who did a good job." Source: Record Hunter 12/92.
