Siouxsie And The Banshees - Tattoo Lyrics
When you're sitting all alone in the middle of the floor
There's something uncontrollable
As you sit there watching the door
Colour me
Slap your thigh, slap your calf,
Sing your mantra, leave your mark
Colour me
Something fierce along my spine
To scare the madman from behind
Fortify my arms with some snake-like lines
Colour me, colour me
Like a stomach split in half
Colours me, colours me, colours me
When you're sitting all alone
In the middle of the floor
There's something uncontrollable
As you sit there watching the door
Tattooed on the inside
A lonely feeling
Inoculating
Colours me
Slap your thigh, slap your calf,
Sing your mantra, leave your mark
Colour me

Siouxsie And The Banshees Tattoo Comments
I liked this song back in the day. Now I think it’s genius.
When you're sitting all alone
In the middle of the floor
There's something uncontrollable
As you sit there watching the door
Colour me
All over
Tattooed on the inside
Slap your thigh
Slap your calf
Sing your mantra
Leave your mark
Colour me
Something fierce along my spine
To scare the madman from behind
Fortify my arms
With some snake-like lines
Colour me
Colour me
Colour me
Like a stomach split in half
By a surgeon's cutting art
Colours me
Colours me
Colours me
When you're sitting alone
In the middle of the floor
There's something uncontrollable
As you sit there
Watching the door
But tattooed on the inside
A warm feeling
Inocculating
Colours me
Slap your thigh
Slap your calf
Sing your mantra
Leave your mark
Colour me
Most people in the US didn't hear this song at all because Dear Prudence was never available as a single here. Would've been one of the best songs on Hyaena if included.
Oh yeah
This is the birth of tricky
Addicted to this !
The acid years.
yeah she was trippin. there was a planet in her kitchen.
Considéré comme l'une des premières chansons de Trip Hop.
It is a proto-trip-hop track, 10 years ahead of its time. It sounds likes Portishead, a film noir with samples.
And the pioneer of trip hop Tricky (under his nearly God Persona) covered it.
I think trip hop has to have a soul and hip hop element. This doesn´t have any of that and it is mainly a very experimental goth rock song with strong electronic elements. Still Siouxie and post punk was an important influence on the main trip hop artists.
I wish this had been on the Hyena album instead of "Dear Prudence."
Tricky's version is a bit darker and grittier but this is incredibly dope.
Fortify my arms....
Siouxie is a godess
Siouxie is a godess
it was right direction
I always loved this track, I think Tricky covered it at one point. Her voice is so soothing. The next track on the 12" (that I once had of 'Dear Prudence') was "There's a planet in my kitchen" which was good too.
'Planet' was the biggest load of crap my fav band of all time ever did - i can remember being so disillusioned, as was John Peel. My fav b side is Shooting Sun.
robert haley, shut up
"There's a Planet in My Kitchen" is so quirky and very cool indeed, I love it too
OK but I can see why he doesn't like it. It's incidental noise with some lyrics in the background, a lot less musical or a display of songwriting than much of their other material. Sure they experiment, and the song follows that vein, and I like it, but I don't attack people when I can clearly see where they are coming from. Shooting Sun is WAY up there for me too.
aerialkate they were on acid and Sioux was doing the dishes in the studio sink!
