The Dazzle 12" EP contains an extended mix of the title track (which is excellent in its own right), but is notable and valuable mainly for its rare B-sides, "I Promise" and "Throw Them to the Lions." The latter, in particular, finds the Banshees in a rather experimental spirit, with lots of squalling waves of feedback and an unusual harpsichord break. A very worthwhile artifact from the brief Robert Smith era of Siouxsie and the Banshees. Serious fans should seek this out.
The stars that shine
And the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation the water runs
Before your eyes
Swallowing diamonds
A cutting throat
Your teeth when your grin
Reflecting beams on tombstones
A jamboree of surprises
Playing Russian roulette
Or the lucky dip
A clenched fist to your heart
Coal dust on your lungs
A silver tongue for the chosen one
Heavy magnum in your side
Or a bloody thorn
Skating bullets on angel dust
In the dead sea of fluid mercury
Baby piano crys
Under your heavy index and thumb
Pull some strings-let them sing
The stars that shine
And the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation the water runs
Before your eyes
Dazzle it's a glittering prize
Dazzle it's a glittering prize
Before your eyes
It's a glittering prize
The stars that shine
And the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation the water runs
Before your eyes
