  Sad Cunt Lyrics  
 
 
 
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

  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?

  Disconnected Lyrics  
 
 
 

Don't you think it funny
Don't you think it sad
I was thinking of you
Thinking frozen land

Make the heart grow fonder
Don't make it separate
Just a small reminder
A keepsake

And when you're feeling sad
Can't imagine happiness
And when you're feeling glad
Alaska shows her greedy hand

Don't you think it funny
Don't you think it sad
Starting to fade 
In Siberian land

In Siberia

Just when you're comforted
Just when you start to breathe
The winter pounces
Like a band of thieves

Oh the pain of joy
Oh the joy of pain
Zoom in
Zoom out
Cut
Pullback
Fade to black

You're disconnected
Disconnected

Make the heart grow fonder
Then obliterate
Just a small reminder
A keepsake

Don't you think it funny
Don't you think it sad
Nothing left of you in this Arctic land
In Antarctica

  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

  Take Mine Lyrics  
 
 
 

Dog in a manger
Happy days
Why don't you
Take it all
Take what is left

Take mine

Counting out
And putting nothing in
You calculate
And multiply your sins

Take mine

I know you
Scared to be alone
If I were you
I would be too

Take mine

Ruled by this
It needn't be this way
Your misery
Seeking company

Take mine

Are you happy now

  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

  2nd Floor Lyrics  
 
 
 

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

  Pluto Drive/Nightclubbing Lyrics  
 
 
 
Let's go to Pluto
The atmosphere's clear
We'll be really cool there
With nothing to fear
Let's go to Pluto
It's cold and it's damp
Where children are heroes
Death is high camp
I want to see Pluto
I want to have fun
I want to turn blue
Under an alien sun
Oh let me see Pluto
It seems such a gas
With oceans of methane
And petrified grass
Let's go to Pluto
Let's live on the dot
See the bad moon rising
In a lunacy knot
Come on let's do Pluto
It's really not far
An unleaded dream drive
To the prettiest star
I want to see Pluto
But maybe I'll wait
Til the world turns to meet
Its plutonium fate
The days will be long here
The years will be more
Let's go to Pluto
Like we did before
Nightclubbing, we're nightclubbing
We're what's happening
Nightclubbing, we're nightclubbing
We walk like a ghost
We learn dances, brand new dances
Like the nuclear bomb
When we're nightclubbing, bright light clubbing
oh isn't it wild.
Let's go to Pluto
Let's live on the dot
See the bad moon rising
In a lunacy knot
The days will be long here
The years will be more
Let's go to Pluto
Like we did before

  'Let's Go To Pluto' is quite a deranged green statement, and some quarters are trying to paint Siouxsie as old-punkette-turned-wise-earth-mother.  Budgie:  "Yeah, but 'Let's Go To Pluto' was supposed to be real wacky, like 'Let's Twist Again Like We Did Last Summer'.  It came through watching Patrick Moore.  he was so intense about going there he said, If we ever managed to get there we would die because it's all methane gas!"  Source:  Sounds 10/03/90.  
     

 


     
  Prettiest Thing Lyrics  
 
 
 

I am gone I am sold
Can I take her home while I am sleeping
I put it on fits so well
Dead fish floating up to the ceiling

She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Such a beautiful violence moving in
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Prettiest thing I'm moving in

I put it on it fits my soul
You know she spoke these words while she was sleeping
Razors' edge sliding in razors' edge
Wanna feel my fingers dipping in

Dip in

She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Such a beautiful violence coming in

Dip in

She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Such a beautiful violence moving in
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Never say never do it again

Dip in

She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Prettiest thing I'm moving in
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Prettiest thing I'm coming in

  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

  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.  
     

 


     
  Rocket Ship Lyrics  
 
 
 

You can see the flames around the sun
It's time to leave and start to become
Extraterrestrial

All it's ever been is just beginning
Space is waiting for us - waiting for us to evolve
Dreams are past and future memories
Of species and times - from different solar systems
Certain plants and animals will evolve too
Far far into the future - but only a moment away

We will be able to translate the codes left for us
And with time we will leave our bodies
Become thought patterns - pure energy and light source

You can see the flames around the sun
It's time to leave

Far far into the future - but only a moment away
Far far into the future - but only a moment away

We are
Rocket ship

  Red Wrapping Paper Lyrics  
 
 
 

Her blinding tears formed an ice lake
Recalling how things fall apart
Marooned and inconsolable
Thinking of Christmas past
Suddenly quite unexpected
A presence catches her eye
A pure red flash of contrast
Settled on a pure white sigh

Dying of thirst by the lake there
Under the sentinel pines
In a frozen gasp of her making
Exhaling glacial designs
There was a bursting out of the darkness
It's flickering caught in her eye
A bright rubescent promise
Arrived on a cardinal high

The air is transformed and altered
Her body and senses thaw
With warming infusing aromas
Of cinnamon amber and clove
Lined in a crimson blush there
Cushioned in scarlet desire
A blush full flushed and flaming
A gift wrapped in glittering fire

All good things should come
In red wrapping paper
