Siouxsie and The Banshees

[Irregular Regular]

In the sharp gust of love
My memory stirred
When time wreathed a rose
A garland of shame
Its thorn my only delight
War torn, afraid to speak
We dare to breathe
Majestic
Imperial
A bridge of sighs
Solitude sails
In a wave of forgiveness
On angels' wings

Reach out your hands
Don't turn your back
Don't walk away
How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you
'Til the last beat
Of my heart

At the close of day
The sunset cloaks
These words in shadowplay
Here and now, long and loud
My heart cries out
And the naked bone of an echo says
Don't walk away

Reach out your hands
I'm just a step away
How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you
'Til the last beat
Of my heart

How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
'Til the last beat
'Til the last fleeting beat
Of my heart

This is simply genius...

Another work of art...



The stars that shine and the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation the water runs
Before your eyes

Swallowing diamonds
A cutting throat
Your teeth when you grin
Reflecting beams on tombstones
A jamboree of surprises
Playing russian roulette
Or the lucky clip
A clenched fist to your heart
Coal dust on your lungs

A silver tongue for the chosen one
Heavy magnum in your side or a bloody thorn

Skating bullets on angel dust
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

Before your eyes
It's a glittering prize

Melt, Nightshift and Desert Kisses are some of my favourites. I also love Israel. Oh, and Into the Light.

All great choices EP, all great choices.
Too many to mention really but Christine, Spellbound, Israel, Happy House, Cities In Dust, the covers of Helter Skelter, Dear Prudence and The Passenger and the two I posted above are among my favourites.

I also love Wheels on Fire. Have you heard the original???? :-o Wow, Siouxsie's version is SOOOOOO much better.
