Question 1 of 10
1. Which song gave us these lyrics?

"They come and they go,
It's a parting of time,
They come...and they go,
Whilst we sit in our homes.

Sit back and enjoy...The Real McCoy!"
Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. Which song gave us these lyrics?

"Shadows look as you resist the gloom
Faded hues issue forth and bloom
A bed of leaves for a lover
Awake with a kiss and rise asunder
And when the party's over
You retreat in a realm of slumber"
Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. What song gave us these lyrics?

"From the fury pit, a reek of misery
Like a trumpet groan, tornado moan
The splendor splits like a golden skin
He and the wizards cry like hummingbirds
In treasure glows, your weeping wings
And a slaughter grins, on a pleasure spike"

Answer: (Two Words)
Question 4 of 10
4. Which song gave us these lyrics?

"Sickly sweet, his poison seeks
For the young ones who don't understand
The danger in his hands
With a jaundiced wink see his cunning slink
Oh trust in me my pretty one
Come walk with me my helpless one"
Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. What song gave us these lyrics?

"In the blood of the twinkling sky
Breathing in air drunk dry
There was once a time of rapture
All is lost ... a pale gleaming

Across this crooked land
Runs a crooked man
Our loved ones die
Under the hammer
Of the Soviet sun"
Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Did these lyrics come from the song "Love in a Void"?

"Too many bigots for my liking
Too many critics...too few writing
Rabid dogs that aren't biting"


Question 7 of 10
7. What song gave us these lyrics?

"As the rust creeps
Corrosion seeps a rotting seed
Eat me -- feed me
With your belching foul breath
Your destructive kiss death"
Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. What song gave us these lyrics?

"The sun is up,
The sky is blue,
It's beautiful,
And so are you..."
Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. What song gave us these lyrics?

"In the sharp gust of love
My memory stirred
When time wreathed a rose
A garland of shame
Its thorn my only delight
War torn, afraid to speak
We dare to breathe
Majestic
Imperial
A bridge of sighs"

Answer: (6 Words)
Question 10 of 10
10. And finally, what song gave us these lyrics?

"A sideways crawl, a sideways scrawl
The Cancer Crab is on us all
I kissed your face
I kissed the sand
I heard you sigh
There was no sound

Thrashed and spat back at the ocean
But there was nothing, no commotion
Just my lonely stupid notion
Trapped again in still life motion"
Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which song gave us these lyrics? "They come and they go, It's a parting of time, They come...and they go, Whilst we sit in our homes. Sit back and enjoy...The Real McCoy!"

Answer: Monitor

This song is from the album "Juju." I would count this album as their last pure punk effort, thanks to John McGeoch (of the post-punk band Magazine) on guitars.
2. Which song gave us these lyrics? "Shadows look as you resist the gloom Faded hues issue forth and bloom A bed of leaves for a lover Awake with a kiss and rise asunder And when the party's over You retreat in a realm of slumber"

Answer: Party's Fall

This song is from the album, "Tinderbox." This album was released in 1986.
3. What song gave us these lyrics? "From the fury pit, a reek of misery Like a trumpet groan, tornado moan The splendor splits like a golden skin He and the wizards cry like hummingbirds In treasure glows, your weeping wings And a slaughter grins, on a pleasure spike"

Answer: Pointing Bone

This is from the album "Hyaena." This album also holds the band's second cover of a Beatles song. This time it was "Dear Prudence."
4. Which song gave us these lyrics? "Sickly sweet, his poison seeks For the young ones who don't understand The danger in his hands With a jaundiced wink see his cunning slink Oh trust in me my pretty one Come walk with me my helpless one"

Answer: Candyman

This song is from the album, "Tinderbox." It has been reported that this song was written by Sioux about an incident she had as a child. Whether or not it is fact is still up to debate.
5. What song gave us these lyrics? "In the blood of the twinkling sky Breathing in air drunk dry There was once a time of rapture All is lost ... a pale gleaming Across this crooked land Runs a crooked man Our loved ones die Under the hammer Of the Soviet sun"

Answer: Rhapsody

This song is from the album, "Peepshow." The title track of the album "Peek-a-Boo" ran into some legal troubles for the lines in the chorus. They resembled those of the song "Jeepers Creepers."
6. Did these lyrics come from the song "Love in a Void"? "Too many bigots for my liking Too many critics...too few writing Rabid dogs that aren't biting"

Answer: Yes

This song was released as single during the Banshees' early years as a punk band in the late seventies, before their transition to Goth rock. It does not, however, appear on an album, as it was the B-side to the single "Mittageisen (Metal Postcard)."
7. What song gave us these lyrics? "As the rust creeps Corrosion seeps a rotting seed Eat me -- feed me With your belching foul breath Your destructive kiss death"

Answer: We Hunger

This is from the album, "Hyaena." This song is the second on this album, following the amazing opener "Dazzle."
8. What song gave us these lyrics? "The sun is up, The sky is blue, It's beautiful, And so are you..."

Answer: Dear Prudence

Their cover of The Beatles' "Dear Prudence" was featured on the album "Hyaena." The cover itself fits in well with the rest of the album, music wise, as it-as do most of the other songs-features synthesizers in the forefront instead of guitars. I guess something needed to fill the void of John McGeoch and apparently Robert Smith couldn't do it. Need proof? Listen to their albums "Kaleidoscope" and "Juju."
9. What song gave us these lyrics? "In the sharp gust of love My memory stirred When time wreathed a rose A garland of shame Its thorn my only delight War torn, afraid to speak We dare to breathe Majestic Imperial A bridge of sighs"

Answer: The Last Beat of my Heart

This was from the album, "Peepshow." This song is accompanied by a very simple music video. It pans out very slowly from Siouxsie Sioux and shows a shot of the band before they all fade away.
10. And finally, what song gave us these lyrics? "A sideways crawl, a sideways scrawl The Cancer Crab is on us all I kissed your face I kissed the sand I heard you sigh There was no sound Thrashed and spat back at the ocean But there was nothing, no commotion Just my lonely stupid notion Trapped again in still life motion"

Answer: Desert Kisses

This is from the album, "Kaleidoscope." This entire album deals with mental illness, most obvious in the song "Christine."
