Shakespear's Sister - It's A Trip Lyrics






It's a cracked-up city
As the dawn hits the sky
All those beautiful dreamers
They go home to wonder why

We're all glued to the scene
And strung out
On some strange high

Hey boy
When the money knows
You can't help but cry
When the colon blows

It's a trip
When you're young and hip
It's a dream
Such a beautiful scene
Wow

It's a cracked up city
But it makes you feel alive
If you lose it you can get it back
On the other side

So come on
You're too pretty to think
"I'm suicide"

Call on me anytime
Day or night
I might not be in
But I might

It's a trip
When you're young and hip
It's a dream
Such a beautiful scene
Wow

It's a trip
There's no way back
It's a sin
Come on let's do it again
Wow

You've got to laugh about it
Cover it up
Cover it up (yeah yeah yeah)
Don't have to advertise it:
Smile

It's a trip
When you're young and hip
It's a dream
Such a beautiful scene
Wow

It's a trip
When you're young and hip
It's a dream
Such a beautiful scene
Wow

Love and desire
It gets me higher
Love and desire
It gets me higher

  9. M.... S....

    What a fuckin good Song Miss Banana

  10. N.... E....

    Siobhan Fahey clearly has made a devil deal, cuz 2019, and damn, smokin'

  11. Y.... ....

    Sometime in the late 90s, British producers found a new formula to catchy pop tunes. It's not the song, it sure isn't the performance - it probably boils down to a bloody synth pattern or shaker loop. Whatever it is, it gets me hooked.

    That said, Siobhan is very pitchy (always - not only in this song). Some folks can pull this off and it works. She's not one of them. On the other hand, I'm glad they didn't autotune her.

    Oh wait... I know how they got me: I think they just pimped "Funky Town".

    Y.... ....

    @I. Bosquez Elaborate, please.

  12. K.... ....

    Miss you Michelle, ....Always

    I. Bosquez —
    So kind thanks :)

    P.... ....

    I did it as a favor to Ms Siobhan as she is one of the nicest and coolest people out there // so I didn’t charge her — I shot and edited it myself with my own gear and we worked with friends.. thank you XXXX

    P.... ....

    @Paul Boyd
    Wow Siobhan is amazing in it as well as the two actors that play out the story line. No wonder it was shot like movie (quality work all round).

  22. A.... D....

    Contender for best song ever. It's a trip.

  23. A.... d....

    Perfect video Paul, you make Siobhan the tar she is.... love it!! You must have had much fun working with such an incredible artist!

  24. s.... ....

    7 years old and I've only heard this a couple times on 'radio" I didn't even find out about it till 2013.WHY? This is effin GREAT !!!

    s.... ....

    They have reunited and are going on tour this fall

  25. J.... A....

    This is a good track.

  26. F.... M....

    Subsequent SS is dog shit.

  27. B.... A....

    WHY IS ALL OF THIS SO AMAZING???

    B.... A....

    Brandon Arkell
    How many women have you seen singing in a man's suit? Annie Lennox and? They don't have everything hanging out like their breasts. In today's world that's Noteworthy. You mean you haven't noticed the difference between Siobhan, Annie and the rest of the women you listen to Beyonce, Taylor, Gaga, and others who love singing in what amounts to a bathing suit waving their vaginas in your face because they know That sells. Come on!

  28. J.... G....

    so beautiful

  29. C.... R....

    lovelysisters

  30. R.... U....

    immernoch cool

  31. D.... K....

    Yeah!
    THE Queen of My Adolescence!!!
    And SHE is still hot!
    And SHE has still great voice!

  32. B.... D....

    SIOBHAN FOREVER!!!!! One of my favorites. "Songs from the Red Room" may be the most under-rated album of all time.

  33. w.... f....

    When was this song released?

    w.... f....

    weirdo freak
    2009

  35. S.... M....

    Great visuals. SF looking very Johnny Depp. Always admired her. That voice. Who else sings like that?

    S.... M....

    Fueler Have you seen Johnny Depp shit????

    S.... M....

    Fueler That is absolutely amazing because she has been dead for a very long time.

    c.... ....

    crebegea they really complimented each other

    c.... ....

    They are touring in the fall 2019

  39. A.... S....

    It's a cracked up city
    As the dawn hits the sky
    All these beautiful dreamers
    Stragger home to wonder why
    We're all glued to the ceiling
    And strung out
    On some strange high
    Hey, boy with the runny nose
    You can't help but cry
    When the cold wind blows

    It's a trip
    When you're young and hip
    It's a dream
    Such a beautiful scene, wow

    It's a cracked up city
    But it makes you feel alive
    If you lose it you can get it
    Back on the other side
    So come on,
    You're too pretty
    To think of suicide
    Call on me any time, day or night
    I might not be in
    But then again I might

    It's a trip
    When you're young and hip
    It's a dream
    Such a beautiful scene, wow
    It's a trap
    There's no way back
    It's a sin
    Come on, let's do it again, wow
    (Do it again, do it again)

    You got to laugh about it
    Cover it up, cover it up
    (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
    Don't have to advertise it, smile

    It's a trip (it's a trip)
    When you're young and hip
    (When you're young and hip)
    It's a dream (it's a dream)
    Such a beautiful scene, wow
    It's a trip (it's a trip)
    When you're young and hip
    (When you're young and hip)
    It's a dream (it's a dream)
    Such a beautiful scene, wow

    Love and desire
    It gets me higher
    Love and desire
    It gets me higher

    A.... S....

    Andrey Shunkov why

  40. J.... C....

    WTF?! It's 2016 how come I've never heard this song before? It's a f***ing Trip! I Love it!

    J.... C....

    Same here!

    J.... C....

    J C omg same wtf

    J.... C....

    They are touring in the fall 2019

  41. m.... ....

    A copy of the later Siouxsie and the Banshees. Therefore it’s not bad. ;-)

  42. V.... B....

    Siobhan Fahey was FIRST...later came Lady Gaga...

    V.... B....

    Dale bozzio of Missing Persons beat Lady Gaga

    V.... B....

    Grace Jones beat them all.

    V.... B....

    David Bowie.

    V.... B....

    precisely

    V.... B....

    @Jerry Gaither You must be young .Everyone knows Dale and everyone else back then was inspired by Debby Blondie Harry. Debby was the original trailblazer.

  43. A.... T....

    Paste/copy Siouxies look

    A.... T....

    Was just thinking the same

    A.... T....

    Not only the look, but also the singing and the musical style of albums like „Rapture“.

  44. l.... f....

    This is freaking awesome

  45. R.... P....

    Love those days

  46. T.... S....

    I love this song!  

  47. J.... B....

    Only found this track recently, love it. Amazed it didn't chart.
    And shes so fit, I would for deffo !!

  48. M.... D....

    Love it! ^-^

  49. N.... ....

    This friggin song is just ridiculously awesome! Cannot stop listening to it. Over & over & over I just can't get enough of it.

    N.... ....

    i agree Shadow--we must have the same taste of music!!!!! Love "stay" though

    N.... ....

    It's a mix with Michael Jackson's Billie Jean and Donna Summer's I feel love, but the lyrics are original, I guess.

    N.... ....

    Not an actual mix, it's just inspired by the two songs you've mentioned, but it's completely original

    N.... ....

    I love that have reunited and are touring! Oct 2019

    N.... ....

    @Rony Cesana I was thinkin of Donna when I heard this. I was thinking I wish this had been her dance music sound in the 90s -2012. although she was still pretty good then on her own. I wish Siobhan had made it a rock song though. The lyrics and vocal are too good to waste on a dance track.

  50. Y.... ....

    sampling I Feel Love is always a terrible idea, because it will ALWAYS come across as nothing more than an inferior version.

    Y.... ....

    It's not a sample, it's just a disco baseline.

    Y.... ....

    Yeti, No. Siobhan elevated Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder to a new dimension. You cannot possibly think that incorporating that infectious dance groove into a new song is a bad thing. Please tell me you don't think so. Honey.

  51. K.... P....

    very cool song!!

  52. M.... S....

    this song needs to hit the radio stations cant belive not listen to it b4. so much better than most the crap on the radio today. bring it back.

  53. A.... ....

    This woman is amazing. She looks like Xena/Lucy Lawless.

  54. 6.... ....

    What a trip x

  55. B.... ....

    белые тетки не сдаются. никогда. разве что когда самим станет прикольно сдаться.. сестры шекспира молодцом. норм тетки в переводе на универсальный язык, как таковой.

    B.... ....

    Согласен, бро!

  56. W.... ....

    Love the song. Good to dance to. Love Siobhan Fahey. She does not mind being different. The album "Songs From the Red Room" is their best! I think their song Hot Room rocks. Should give it a listen.

  57. F.... ....

    I really like the song and the video, but wow, I just cannot believe how incredibly beautiful she looks. I mean... WOW!

  58. G.... �....

    my fave SS song

    G.... �....

    They are touring this fall 2019

  59. c.... ....

    ...belive me... this is not Siouxsie Sioux !!!!!

    c.... ....

    Exactly what i thought!

    c.... ....

    @Andrew Morrison
    Me too

  60. M.... ....

    This song is actually soooooooo good. I just randomly found it because the thumbnail caught my eyes, thank god.

  61. S.... T....

    She's still got the fantastic voice and gorgeous looks she did in the 80s. :)

  62. s.... ....

    Where's the other girl in the band that plays guitar?

  63. E.... S....

    nice very nice grils : ) ( ;

  64. F.... S....

    yeh u are right!!!

  65. B.... ....

    Oh that smile at 00:32...it turns the clocks back. A timeless smile that takes me back to being a lovesick teen staring at her in Bananarama videos, to a teen mesmorized by the Death Queen walking down the steps in "Stay", and now here we are watching in 2013 and that smile still does it. Long Live Shuv.

    B.... ....

    They are touring this autumn 2019

  66. t.... ....

    A little Siouxsie tribute she has going on there

  67. S.... O....

    Who is the fucktard that confused Trip Shakespear with.......Shakespears Sister????? Epic fail.

  68. s.... S....

    she looks like Siouxsie and the banshees!!!

  69. B.... G....

    I love them <3

  70. g.... ....

    beauty queens,with beat, and not a bad tune, you gotta love them

  71. G.... P....

    I've been a Siobhan and SS fan since the first day I heard that amazing voice. This is amazing. Thanks for telling your story to us Siobhan. It's an honor.

    G.... P....

    They are touring this autumn 2019

  72. J.... P....

    True artist! Thank You Siobhan!

  73. B.... ....

    The "guy/girl gender swap costumes for one night" thing portrayed in this video is totally my fantasy....HOTTT!!!!!!!

  74. n.... b....

    Reminds me so much of Patsy Stone.

  75. D.... D....

    it's a trip thru time to channel plays back to 16th century writers.SHE wrote the plays, he he he.

  76. I.... B....

    Stunning ,Siobhan is beautiful x

  77. K.... Z....

    I love these guys * saw them at Slims in San Francisco year ago... they are one of my many musician inspirations which have led to my new album * ZINK A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER on iTunes and CDbaby

  78. T.... G....

    IT'S A TRAP!

  79. f.... ....

    A female Jack Sparrow! Seriously digging those moves. Damn, she's 53 and looks better than me (33).

  80. W.... ....

    Siobhan reminds me of Siouxsie Sioux a bit here.

  81. C.... M....

    I love the Michael Jackson Billie Jean drum beat!!

  82. 5.... ....

    i don't know what you expect. she's over 50 now. i discovered this video a few weeks ago and watched it over and over again, cause she is just so cool here....stylish and good-looking. with charisma. and i really don't see a "craggy old face".

  83. o.... ....

    tak trochu visáž Siouxsie...

  84. J.... F....

    remembers me to Siouxsie...

  85. T.... ....

    Seriously i didn't expected that ending. Thought they were both female....

  86. H.... V....

    imagine if this was your mum

  87. D.... ....

    this video disturbed me a bit, i thought this was bananarama

  88. F.... G....

    she really knows how to work the camera.

  89. h.... ....

    I saw her in Tesco last week!

  90. b.... ....

    Great song! Siobhan always reminds me of female version of Johnny Rotten. Her stuff is always different from the mainstream crap!

  91. d.... ....

    Good one!

  92. s.... ....

    looks like noel fielding

  93. E.... S....

    Parabéns desde de jovem venho vos seguindo estão maravilhosas as duas, 15-02-2012

  94. g.... ....

    She always above most many andere Stars women. Fantastic Siobhan!!
    And so for me shame, very shame, what I never see her in girls around me...

  95. b.... ....

    Great job, and what a boon to work with Siobhan Fahey herself!

    I vote this should be a new thing, having oldschool musicians teaming up with new indie internet filmmakers to make new videos for old songs, instead of fighting over copyright.

  96. r.... ....

    her and siouxsie should do a song together

  97. P.... B....

    Wicked video a newly discovered treat for me

  98. b.... r....

    I thought the blonde girl was really hot at the beginning, then I was like... Woah.
