Standing There:
- Inspiration/Influence/Band Comment: The
verbal abuse and misplaced bravado of & from men mainly towards
women. "It's about the direct contact you get on the
street, it's not just verbal abuse anymore. You see them up ahead
and wonder, 'Should I cross over the road or turn around and go
back?' (Budgie) Source: Record Mirror
11/11/89.
Manchild:
- Inspiration/Influence/Band Comment: "It's
a story based in Columbia before the drugs cartel, it's
about a small child caught up in a feud, this vendetta between his
village and another rival village. In a minor way it is all
about drug trafficking, but ends with the stronger village wiping
out the whole male population of the other village until there was
just one boy left called Nelsito. It was understood that he
would live till he was at least 18 before he was assassinated, but
he was shot on the way to school." (Siouxsie) Source:
Melody Maker 24/02/90.
Pluto Drive:
- Inspiration/Influence/Band
Comment: '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

Fury Eyes:

Willow:
- Inspiration/Influence/Band
Comment: "It's kind of
about how my mother died as it was a black area and I hadn't
realised what had happened until I saw my brother. He told me what
went on with the family and I never really knew until a year
afterwards, and I wrote it down directly after that". (Budgie)

Simoon:
- Inspiration/Influence/Band
Comment: Simoom
is an Arabic word meaning dry wind. The song 'Simoom'
was written about the atmosphere surrounding the Salman
Rushdie affair: "There's this drying relentless wind of almost corrupt
power of some religions with an unbending control over individuals.
It's completely unforgiving and victimizing, a very dangerous thing,
a wind of danger".
