Siouxsie and the Banshees

Siouxsie and the Banshees were an English rock band formed in London in 1976 by vocalist Siouxsie Sioux and bass guitarist Steven Severin. Initially associated with the English punk rock scene, the band rapidly evolved to create "a form of post-punk discord full of daring rhythmic and sonic experimentation".The Times cited Siouxsie and the Banshees as "one of the most audacious and uncompromising musical adventurers of the post-punk era." more »

Transcribed by Reverend Straynge 

the woods and the town
Covered in snow
All transformed to a fairytale
Like the fresh page of a book opened up
Ready
Waiting
For the story to begin
For you're all in a scene
Objects in black ink
Fringed in white
Breathing and living
And anticipating
A colour
All transformed to a fairytale
Unreal and inviting
Inviting you to step in
And follow the path neverending

you're now leaving
Imprints
And somehow expecting
Expecting someone

maybe the prince in disguise
Suffering a snow queen curse
But you're wrong of course
It's in reverse

out in the snow
Muffled
The last silent night
The last sacrifice
Red running over white
Red running over white
Red
Running over white
Red
Running over white
Running red
Over white
Running red
Over white

red over white
Red over white
Red
Over white

(Thorn version adds:)

running red over white
Running red over white
All (oh?) red over white
Running red
Over white
Running red
Over white
Red over white
Red over white
All (oh?) red
Over white

all (oh?) red
Over white

    This is the plot of a story, really, told in impressions and sensations. I love how the vocal goes from a quiet breathy tone to screams and shrieks, with the accompanying orchestration. Amazing song
