	Follow The Sun Lyrics

	Scarecrow grins he's growing very tall Growing tall under the golden sun The golden sun Growing with the children of the corn Sending out the message of a strange tongue A message of the sun Young skin stretched thin over a flawless grin The crimson spilling golden crops of hair Spilling everywhere Watch the children of the corn follow One by one they're following the sun Got to run Following the sun on the run Following the sun Don't be ashamed of what you've done You must not run Follow the sun

	Spellbound Lyrics

	From the cradle bars Comes a beckoning voice It sends you spinning you have no choice You hear laughter Cracking through the walls It sends you spinning You have no choice Following the footsteps Of a rag doll dance We are entranced Spellbound And don't forget When your elders forget To say their prayers Take them by the legs And throw them down the stairs When you think Your toys have gone berserk It's an illusion You cannot shirk You hear laughter Cracking through the walls It sends you spinning You have no choice Following the footsteps Of a rag doll dance We are entranced Spellbound

	Into The Light Lyrics

	Into the line I see it fine Into the line Our hearts entwine Remember when Your time again Standing in the light Always sitting on the line Never on a side Always wanting to be right Pushing out the light Standing in the light I never wanted to be right Now I'm attracted by the light And blinded my the sight Into the light I see it fight Into the light A new horizon Bleached into white Kept out of sight Dead ahead in the night Burning in the light And knowing that it's right Driving in the night Dead ahead in the light Into the light

	Arabian Knights Lyrics

	The jewel, the prize Looking into your eyes Cool pools drown your mind What else will you find I hear a rumour It was just a rumour I heard a rumour What have you done to her Myriad lights They said I'd be impressed Arabian Knights At your primitive best A tourist oasis Reflects in seedy sunshades A monstrous oil tanker It's wound bleeding in seas I heard a rumour What have you done to her I heard a rumour What have you done to her Veiled behind screens Kept as your baby machine Whilst you conquer more orifices Of boys, goats and things Ripped out sheep's eyes No forks or knives Myriad lights They said I'd be impressed Arabian Knights At your primitive best

	SIOUXSIE: " 'Arabian Knights' was inspired by the fact that I was listening to a lot of The Doors at the time. I wanted those kind of melodies running through it." Source: The Authorised Biography 2002 SIOUXSIE: "It’s nothing to do with a ‘feminist’ thing, it’s like a humane thing. Like how the Muslim women cope, I don’t know. The way women are treated in some religions, if it was a race being treated like that and not a sex, there would be uproar about it. I still haven’t overcome being a girl yet, as far as other people see me, and that’s very important. I think it’s happened a bit, but not enough." Source: NME 15/08/81 SIOUXSIE: "To think, some of our records might end up with an 'X' certificate. Like all the fuss over our 'Arabian Knights' single with the line about 'orifices'. It was only a new way of describing something...something natural, physical. It wasn't smutty or rude. Just imagery...but they don't like that." Source: Smash Hits 06/86 SIOUXSIE: With 'Arabian Knights' it was quite a thrill to get the word 'orifices' on the radio." Source: Record Mirror 11/11/89



	Halloween Lyrics

	The night is still And the frost it bites my face I wear my silence like a mask And murmur like a ghost "Trick or Treat" "Trick or Treat" The bitter and the sweet "Trick or Treat" "Trick or Treat" The bitter and the sweet The carefree days Are distant now I wear my memories like a shroud I try to speak but words collapse Echoing, echoing "Trick or Treat" "Trick or Treat" The bitter and the sweet "Trick or Treat" "Trick or Treat" The bitter and the sweet I wander though your sadness Gazing at you with scorpion eyes Halloween Halloween A sweet reminder In the ice-blue nursery Of a childish murder Of hidden lustre And she cries "Trick or Treat" "Trick or Treat" The bitter and the sweet "Trick or Treat" "Trick or Treat" The bitter and the sweet I wander through your sadness Gazing at you with scorpion eyes Halloween Halloween

	SEVERIN: "My source for that is something that happened to me when I was very young, understanding reality for the first time, if that doesn’t sound too... (pause) I suddenly realised when I was about six that I was a separate person. Suddenly I knew I was around instead of just being a part of things. And once that happens you realise that you’ve lost something like an innocence." Source: Sounds 07/03/81



	Monitor Lyrics

	Monitor outside For the people inside A prevention of crime A passing of time The come and they go It's a passing of time They come and they go Whilst we sit in our homes Sit back and enjoy The real McCoy Our new air of authority Our sentinel of misery His face was full of intent And we shook excitement Then the victim stared up Looked strangely at the screen As if her pain was our fault But that's entertainment What we crave for inside No more second rate movies From those people outside

	Inspiration/Influence/Band Comment

	Inspired by the advent of Close Circuit TV and the idea of real violence as entertainment. A story was related to Siouxsie of how, when CCTV was installed in a tower block, in an attempt to curtail vandalism and crime, it instead resulted in the tenants deriving more pleasure from watching the ‘real life’ crime on CCTV, than watching fictionalised accounts on their own televisions.



	Night Shift Lyrics

	Only at night time I see you In darkness I feel you A bride by my side I'm inside many brides Sometimes I wonder What goes on in your mind Always silent and kind unlike the others Fuck the mothers kill the others Fuck the others kill the mothers I'll put it out of my mind because I'm out of my mind with you In heaven and hell with you My night shift sisters Await your nightly visitor They don't bother me no No they don't bother me The cold marble slab Submits at my feet With a neat dissection Looking so sweet to me, please come to me With your cold flesh, my cold love Hissing, not kissing A happy go lucky chap Always dressed in black He'll come to you, he'll come to you My night shift sisters With your nightly visitor A new vocation in life My love with a knife Fuck the mothers kill the others Fuck the others kill the mothers I'll put it out of my mind because I'm out of my mind with you in heaven and hell with you

	Sin In My Heart Lyrics

	Sin in my heart Sin in my heart Sin in my heart flying like a dart Oh sin in my heart It's beginning to start It's beginning to start When you're lying like a tart Sin in my heart When you grovel at my feet Oh sin in my heart It's short and sweet Sin in my heart Swift as a dart sin in my heart Oh sin in my heart When you grovel at my feet Keep it short and sweet Sin in my heart

	Head Cut Lyrics

	The head is the best part My headcut my woodcut I saw you in the gallery With your torso and family A huge smiling central face With eyes and lips cut out But smiling and eating Lots of others lips A beautiful mask in plastercast Such a beautiful mask in plastercast Can I take it back with me Back to the flat with me Oh severed head I'll feed your head with bread And paint your lips bright red I'll keep it fresh on ice It will look very nice Can I take it with me Back to flat with me Shrunken heads under the bed The flies are humming There's a red under the bed The spit is turning Roasting burning Shadows dancing-by the fire Flickering flames laugh-with desire The head is the best part My headcut my woodcut

	SIOUXSIE: " 'Onibaba', this black-and-white Japanese film by Kaneto Shindo. I saw it on BBC 2 when I was about nine. There was this great repeated scene: every night, this girl would run through fields of long, swooshing cane in the rain to her lover, but this demon would appear and it would scare her away. This kept happening until one night she ran past it. When she finally went home to her family and opened the door, the demon was crouching in the corner. It turned out the demon was her mother, who'd worn a Samurai mask to scare her away from this boy, but the mask had got stuck to her face. It made such a strong impression." Source: Word 10/04



	Voodoo Dolly Lyrics

	She's your little voodoo dolly And she's gonna make you lazy Like the little drum in your ear Transfixes you to your fear And now she's transfixed in your fear And you know she's gonna stay there Because her nails are deep in your hair And she made you so unaware Are you listening to your fear The beat is coming nearer Like the little drum in your ear Transfixes you to your fear She's such an ugly little dolly And she's making you look very silly And when you listen in to her ear You get paralysed with her fear Oh down down in your fear Now this little voodoo dolly Has made you very lazy And you're anaemic from her sucking And when your dead she'll find another Better break that little dolly And sling her in the corner Now she's a sorry little dolly Such a sorry little dolly Are you listening to your fear The beat is coming nearer Like that little drum in your ear Transfixing you to your fear listen

	SIOUXSIE: "I suppose everyone has their own personal voodoo dolly which is capable of destroying them. A bad habit, or something they like but shouldn't. A vice, most vices; one that's hard to control, hard to kick. The same for men with certain girlfriends, they're like voodoo dollies, always winding them up and they destroy them." Source: Sounds 20/06/81 SIOUXSIE: "The fear is just seeing and being aware that things that might be pleasing to you… can be your downfall. People included. All the good things, all the happiness can be very negative in that they numb you. That’s where the danger is, when you’re numbed to other people’s pain and other people’s pleasure. That applies to anyone but more so given the unreality of being a pop star.” Source: NME 24/12/83 SEVERIN: "It's like anything, it takes a bit of concentration and concern to find those things within the lyric, which you can't really demand of a listener and shouldn't really expect... because it's such a supposedly trivial medium. So it's almost inevitable that you get tagged with doom 'n' gloom etcetera, simply because most people haven't got the inclination to open up and discuss some of the subjects. But I don't see why we should not try and do that. It's ridiculous to do anything else." Source: NME 24/12/83

	Fireworks Lyrics

	The body is wrapped in shadow The face is built of cinders And panic tears thro' your silhouette As you're squeezed by burning fingers And he's crackling in colours With teeth of gelignite When he sighs his song of pirouettes Thro' a dance of dynamite We are fireworks, slowly, glowing Bold and bright We are fireworks, burning shapes Into the night His fuel is our frustration And dreams begin to ache And all the while we wear a party smile And happily we shiver Happily we shake Oh shake, shake, shake We are fireworks, slowly, glowing Bold and bright We are fireworks, burning shapes Into the night Twist and turn, burn, burn, burn Twist and turn, burn baby burn
