Siouxsie And The Banshees - Red Light Lyrics






She falls into frame
With a professional pout
But the Polaroid's ignite
Upon seeing their subject
And the aperture shuts
Too much exposure

Voyeur sucks into focus
Floodlit the glossy kiss-pit
But as emulsion drips down - down
The aperture shuts
Too much exposure

Come into this room
Come into this gloom
See the red light rinsing
Another shutterslut wincing

The sagging half wit sister
Pretty, pretty picture
Of an ancient nipple shrinking
That kodak whore winking
'Til the aperture shuts

Too much exposure

  21. R.... ....

    How about Paradise Place? "look to the hills now look at my face, do you notice my eyes are they in the right place?"; "you can hide your genetics under drastic cosmetics, but this chameleon magic has been known to be tragic." Siouxsie even makes "a monstrous oil tanker, its wound bleeding in seas" flow in the song like no one else. That is from Arabian Knights btw.

  22. C.... R....

    Siouxsie forever!

  23. R.... B....

  39. A.... B....

    So vaporwave

  40. M.... S....

    Fucking amazing song.

  41. B.... B....

    Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Siouxsie And The Banshees and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.

    B.... B....

    what ever
    all stolen from scots
    marmalade not included

    B.... B....

    How true,Mr Bruno.Britain's creativity,originality,and humor are national treasures.

  42. B.... S....

    Love Siouxsie Synth sounds like spider
    Cheers

  43. M.... S....

    Esta canción tiene cierto tufillo a "The Only Mistake" de mis adorados Joy Division.

  44. S.... T....

    I was a goth at that time and never gave the banshees any credit. I lumped them in with pseudo punk. Fool. This is as goth as it gets, up there with my other favourites Bela Lugosi's Dead and Marian.

    S.... T....

    Steve Thomas,
    then I suppose you're now old enough to have realized that the Siouxsie And The Banshees are actually one of the best 5 bands of all time?

  45. F.... ....

    Holy crap Dalnet... man the olden days.

  46. R.... O....

    She falls into frame
    With a professional pout
    But the Polaroid's ignite
    Upon seeing their subject

    And the aperture shuts
    Too much exposure
    Voyeur sucks into focus
    Floodlit the glossy kiss-pit

    But as emulsion drips down - down
    The aperture shuts
    Too much exposure
    Come into this room

    Come into this gloom
    See the red light rinsing
    Another shutterslut wincing
    The sagging half wit sister

    Pretty, pretty picture
    Of an ancient nipple shrinking
    That kodak whore winking
    'Til the aperture shuts

    Too much exposure

  47. C.... ....

    still listening in 2018

  48. e.... q....

    Amazing song

  49. T.... G....

    I hear little difference in this and the pop. Thats out theses days. Why isnt this sorta thing flourishing

    A.... A....

    You ARE a punk rocker. For reals man.

    A.... A....

    You meant to say "dr. Martens boots" e.e

  57. A.... A....

    I just cut a big fart.

  58. J.... R....

    Fashion is faschism, you know..

  60. P.... ....

    Red Light aka The Kardashian Story

  61. D.... V....

    dalnet? holy shit im old

  62. d.... g....

    No matter what, I just can't seem to like Kaleidoscope. But THIS SONG, this is one of my all time favourite songs by them, it's so fucking good.

    d.... g....

    d.... g....

    die go so... you just don't like... Desert Kisses... how could it be possible?! :(

    d.... g....

    d.... g....

    Lunar Camel is brilliant!

  63. A.... R....

  64. B.... ....

    Thank you so much for keeping this up.

  65. j.... c....

    Awesome.

  66. D.... C....

    Another shutter slut...wincing...

  69. t.... ....

    This track always reminds me of John Foxx's "Metamatic" album.

  70. D.... ....

    BAD-@SSERY RIGHT THERE! Screw everyone else - this band was REAL!

  71. b.... ....

    I wanted to share this with a young lady that doesn't know how important this band is ! Siouxsie , Budgie and the many members of the Banshees, (Robert Smith of the Cure inluded) Gave us a band that was unlike the Sex Pistols and quite unique and still considered punk when it first came out!

  72. R.... M....

    Saudades do Espaço Retrô dos anos 90...

    R.... M....

    +Ricardo Milanez kkkkkkkkkk até aqui BR! Retro era loco!

  73. R.... L....

    Such a dark and enigmatic song. Makes me want to randomly pose in various positions wearing fashionable clothes.

    R.... L....

    Then you've missed the point of the song to a horrific degree.

    R.... L....

    **SeeYourStar**

    R.... L....

    ..like the serial killer in The Silence of the lambs ?? :D :D

    R.... L....

    ...could post a vid doing that .... [?] .... ; P

    R.... L....

    @prying eyes or mayhaps you missed his sarcasm?

  74. e.... ....

    Only Like This Song Cause Of The Photo Clicking

    e.... ....

    You must love Duran Duran then

  75. C.... R....

    That synth is so evil!

    C.... R....

    But yet so delicious, in its "evilness".

    C.... R....

    Even if that were a MiniMoog, it probably would still have sounded just as nice.

    C.... R....

    First thought of Soft Cell when I heard this just as dark and evil as Sex Dwarf LOVE this song

  76. G.... K....

    Great music when i was 15. And this is still great !

    G.... K....

    Gunnar Karl Halldórsson you have good taste. I love it!

    G.... K....

    Agreed!

  77. A.... N....

    La Belle Siouxsie Siouxsita Sioux!  J'adore!!! Fantastique!!!! Magnifique!!!!!!!! Je Suis Sioux!!! :) :) :) :) <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Superbe

  78. I.... H....

    i love listening to this song in photography lessons x)

  79. M.... S....

    Song holds true more now in the age of social media and reality "stars".

    M.... S....

    Yes Mary I hear ya!! or facebook follies lol

    M.... S....

    True that

  80. l.... ....

    I don't care who shared this on Google+. Especially those who post songs and then wish people a good weekend like they're some musical overlord spreading songs to their minions.

    l.... ....

    Thank dog almighty we are free of the abomination that was Google+, as of June 2019. If only we could sentence Google itself to a similar fate.

  81. J.... H....

    I've always adored the bass line...so goth, so perfect in it's simplicity. Not unlike the bass line for Bela Lugosi's Dead. FUCKING BRILLIANT

  82. S.... I....

    Aaahhh, the good old days... when people had TALENT! Not like the manure they have now. That stuff hurts my ears!!

    S.... I....

    so true in what you say !!!!

    S.... I....

    There is still talent, you just have to look out of the mainstream to find it now. 

    S.... I....

    That's false.

    S.... I....

    +Skye ID Wow, you are so cool. I wish we could all be as cool as you are. You don't even listen to popular music because you're so cool!

    S.... I....

    no hay banda!

  83. A.... ....

    I still play this on the regular.

    A.... ....

    Really? I don't even hear any guitar.

    A.... ....

    So? Not every song HAS to have guitar.

  84. M.... d....

    One of my fave sexxxy songs...

  85. V.... X....

    of course santogold sampled this….i'd probably go in shock to find out about a new song that isn't copying another older song that's actually good

  86. L.... ....

    Yeah, it's in the related videos.

  87. L.... ....

    I think Santogold sampled this in one of her songs. Pretty sure. I love both. <3

  88. f.... ....

    Yep.
    :)

  89. f.... ....

    Yep.
    :)

  90. 7.... ....

    Type O Negative?

  91. D.... V....

    Bons tempos que não voltam mais.

  92. S.... ....

    Why are people talking about Madonna on every Siouxsie video? I've been a huge fan of both women for years and years and have never noticed any similarities between the two!

  93. f.... ....

    There is a song called Creepy Green Light

  94. R.... H....

    that's all they can do

  95. T.... S....

    i love the intro
