Siouxsie And The Banshees - Icon

My eyes went up to Heaven

You didn't say I'd be blind

without them

Icons - feed the fires

Icons - falling from the spires

Thine eyes rain down from Heaven

You always said I'd be blind

without them

Icons - feed the fires

Icons - falling from the spires

Those words hang like vicious spittle

dribbling from that tongue

Close your eyes to your lies

Force feed more pious meat

Those nebulous codes and disiplines

Stick in that new born throat

Instill a lie-an artificial eye

to view a perfect land

Icons - feed the fires

Icons - falling from the spires

Can I? - Stick skewers in my skin

and whirl a dervish spin

Can I? - set myself on fire

to prove some kind of desire

Icons-feed the fires

Icons-falling from the spires

The guilt is golden

The guilt is golden

Those ageless lies

The shuttered eyes

It's the nightpiece

It's the Icon

Siouxsie And The Banshees - Premature Burial

This catacomb compels me
Corroding and inert
It weights and tries to pull me
Must I resist or re-assert?

The unchanged and the unchangeable
Doing the zombierama
Singing Oh come and be like me,
We're all sisters and brothers

Ejected to this state of being
Don't bury me with this
I'm in a state of catalepsy
Can I really exist?

Clawing from the inside
Drowning in your chant
Thoughts come flooding through me
Despairing unity

The unchanged and the unchangeable
Doing the zombierama
Singing Oh come and be like me,
We're all sisters and brothers

Red and white carnations
Can't intoxicate my brain
This blissful suffocation
It is driving me to pain
Oh what a bloody shame

The unchanged and the unchangeable
Doing the zombierama
Singing Oh come and be like me,
We're all sisters and brothers

I'm not your sister
Or your brother
Don't bury me with this
Join hands-join hands
We're all sisters and brothers
Sisters and brothers
I can't relate to you
You're no relation of mine

Siouxsie And The Banshees - Playground Twist

Hanging...
Hanging from your daisy chains
Swinging in the trees
Running from your enemies
And falling on your knees
On your knees
Get down on your knees

Throw the dice
You three blind mice
Did you ever see
Such a thing in your life
You swallow the trail
But still arrive
Inside your entrails

Hanging...
Hanging out at party games
Dancing in the shadows
Up and down on the see-saw
Balancing the scales
You're drunk
Yet you're balancing the scales

Someone to blame
Someone to shame
Someone who you can claim
Go back to pass the parcel
And follow the leader

Hanging...
Hanging from your climbing frames
Swinging in the gallows
Laughing with your buddies
But you can drown when you're shallow
You can drown...

Siouxsie And The Banshees - Placebo Effect

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

What colour shall we have today?
Depends on how you feel I 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
Will you ever regret-the placebo effect
Can you ever forget-the placebo effect
