Siouxsie And The Banshees - Spellbound Lyrics






From the cradle bars
Comes a beckoning voice
It sends you spinning
You have no choice...

You hear laughter
Cracking through the walls
It sends you spinning
You have no choice...

Following the footsteps
Of a rag doll dance
We are entranced
Spellbound

And don't forget
When your elders forget
To say their prayers
Take them by the legs
And throw them down the stairs

When you think
Your toys have gone berserk
An' it's an illusion
You cannot shirk
You hear laughter
Cracking through the walls
It sends you spinning
You have no choice

Following the footsteps
Of a rag doll dance
We are entranced
Spellbound

  13. M.... R....

    Hmm. Pretty Good. I would like to buy them all a drink in a mysterious place.

  14. O.... ....

    Yamaha SG = Peak Alternative 80's

  15. J.... M....

    You really just have to play this twice...

  16. F.... D....

    Never gets old

  17. S.... O....

    So wonderfully shallow and pretentious. The hallmark of 80s Goth.

  18. A.... ....

    Thank god my parents were teens in the 80's! I have to thank them for my great taste in music. :)

  19. D.... w....

    Saw Siouxsie and the Banshees in Detroit decades ago. Julian Cope opened for them and bradished a bottle for his entire performance. Spectacular show, definitely worth the price of admission.

  20. I.... M....

    Had a recurring dream as a child of being chased by a woman in a Kabuki mask through the woods. First time I saw this video in the 80s I was like, whoa, my dream, almost exactly. That's Siouxsie for you.

  21. F.... M....

    656 certainly haven’t been spellbound 🤔

  22. T.... B....

    The Banshees were a great band in this line-up.

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

    Dancing like you're special and singing off-key. Most goth things you can do.

  24. C.... W....

    One of the greatest compliments I ever got was in my early 20's as my friends & I made our way to our favorite goth club for a night of drinking & dancing. This guy comes up to me & says "I'm not a creep or anything, really, I just cant believe how much you look like Siouxsie Sioux. Hasn't anyone ever told you that before?" 🖤 of course I dont, but it was nice to hear anyway.

  25. J.... V....

    BRASIL 🇧🇷

  26. d.... j....

    Juste énorme !!! 😍👍

  27. H.... F....

    didnt know gerard way played bass

  28. C.... P....

    Pretty "lit" song and video.

  29. L.... S....

    Siouxsie is the voice of the night.

  30. G.... R....

    Any one here know this song from the skating dvd leading the blind?

  31. K.... l....

    Quise cantar esta rola...
    Termine invocando a 6 demonios :""

  32. R.... I....

    [*pogoes about like a toddler*]

  33. B.... G....

    She is so pretty and this divine music....they just don't make it that way anymore.

  34. W.... B....

    I miss when music videos were mostly simple. I never liked tryhard big production, polished music videos.

  35. X.... D....

    I miss dancing to this song at the nightclubs.

    X.... D....

    Xtra Delite Until a year ago we had a goth night in a local theater and you can bet this one was played (and Christine, Cities in Dust). In the last 9 years I danced more to Siouxsie and the Banshees than in my 80s teen years :) The previous decade was in a way even more goth-filled than my high school years.

  36. j.... s....

    My god what is this world coming to???

  37. L.... ....

    Anyone like princess bride? Bow to her bow

  38. P.... Z....

    Forests where I live you gotta jump, can’t run much cause to much trees and crap on the ground. These guys are pros, perhaps ninjas. Great song

  39. L.... P....

    Afrika Bambatta

  40. b.... ....

    I was 8 when this was out and would go around singing “spindleball spindleball”, which is odd because it sounds nothing like “spindleball”.

  41. D.... W....

    Doing the Naruto run before it was cool!.

  42. I.... ....

    This is one of my favorite songs for my night runs always makes me run fast

  43. i.... g....

    Colombia

  44. C.... P....

    One of the best singles released by anyone ever in my opinion.

  45. D.... ....

    I remember this the first time round. As we say in England ... This is the bollocks. A classic.

  46. M.... P....

    eu só consigo gostar de música esquisita

  47. R.... M....

    Does beetlejuice listen to siouxsie because he totally dresses like the drummer

  48. B.... S....

    The good 80's when every artist looked like a stand user

  49. G.... B....

    Still sounds great after all these years, and I'm not generally nostalgic about the music of my youth!

  50. E.... W....

    80's crap. This band was a joke at the time outside Brittian. It's like lame Crass.

    E.... W....

    What a Clueless twat you are. Better than any Yankee shit from the same time

  51. P.... H....

    1:27 and don't forget when your elders forget, to say their prayers

  52. S.... S....

    Is this like Florence & the Machine's aunt or something?

  53. m.... D....

    John McGeoch, is a brilliant underrated, original guitarist. My ex used to be his house keeper.

  54. B.... B....

    2020 is when Siouxsie CHANGES, while HEALING the "World"...Another day friend!

  55. P.... M....

  57. F.... E....

    She looks so much stronger and more autonomous than the desperate, girly stars of today.

    F.... E....

    Kudos!!!!!

  58. M.... P....

    Hope you're enjoying this full moon in cancer~ going within is as lit as this song

  59. d.... l....

  62. M.... C....

    The beautiful, talented Siouxsie Sue

  63. B.... B....

    This song hits me with such a big nostalgic feeling it sends shivers down my spine

  64. M.... L....

    Cool Video👌

  65. R.... G....

    only 38K likes. You need to get those numbers up girl.

  66. i.... ....

    Fortunate enough to have seen them live twice. What a force of nature they are and Siouxsie is in a league of her own. So glad I went to a ton of concerts when I was younger--Wouldn't trade those memories for anything.

  67. r.... ....

    1:25 that shot only is worth an Oscar.

  68. G.... D....

    Damn I love this song

  69. Y.... ....

    No twerking, thumbs down.

  70. M.... ....

    I discovered Sioxsie And The Banshees when was eighteen back in 2001 while riding on a car with a weird guy I had just met in an internet chatroom.
    I felt I became a witch at that moment.

    M.... ....

    Sweet I discovered her as a teen in the 80s! Never looked back!

    M.... ....

    I discovered them just now and I feel like I need to take a shit.

    M.... ....

    @MacGamer420 Get out you fucking cancer

  71. J.... B....

    Aww youre the queen of punk...you have absolutely no idea how how beautiful you are n what you mean n meant soo 💋💋💋

  72. C.... M....

  73. A.... M....

    What an exquisite and extraordinary individual and band. True essence of the arts, is this very talented lady. amjmetaltomotown

  74. �.... M....

    John McGeoch is such a great guitarist, but so underrated

  75. B.... F....

    Neat! Celtic sounding and I hear a little early U2 in there!

    B.... F....

    You have to remember McGeoch was very influential. I love his playing so much. So much of the goodness from the alt movement to follow came from this guy, an incredible rare talent.

    B.... F....

    @seekah1 You're right☺

  76. N.... M....

    Best song ever !

  77. N.... J....

    This video from the 80's is the most 80's thing to come out of the 80's! Its more 80's than the 80's! I love the 80's I wish the 80's would come back!

  78. M.... L....

    Super 👍

  79. B.... e....

    i saw the band so many times...amazing

  80. M.... 1....

    1:22. "...Take 'em by the legs --- and throw 'em down the stairs !! " W.T.H. ??
    (We love the weirdness ...)

  81. N.... S....

    Brilliant

  82. l.... w....

    Was a teenager in the UK 🇬🇧 during these times I have seen a lot of references to goths here but what I can recollect was that the banshees were part of the punk scene.

    l.... w....

    lost world I think they formed in the punk scene and are considered post punk. Back then I already loved so many genres I lost count so I have a hard time figuring these things out. Where I lived we didn’t use the word goth much in the 80s, maybe not even at all. We called it new wave. Because of that fans of the likes of The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division and Sisters of Mercy were called Wavers.

  83. n.... ....

    Siouxi unica y hermosa ❤❤❤❤❤❤

  84. e.... g....

    I'm entranced.

  85. S.... M....

    Brilliant and so true.

  91. J.... A....

    What a classic!

  92. L.... W....

    Siouxsie, Kate...it’s all the power of women. Stop pitting them against each other.

  93. D.... ....

  94. A.... ....
