Lyrics below:
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

She will forever be the goth / post-punk queen.
Abso-phukin-lutely!!!

Siouxie was part of the punk scene in the UK. She first sand on stage with members of the Sex Pistols.
“Skating bullets on angel dust in a dead sea of fluid mercury.”
Such a profound, and moving statement.
Im curious what does it mean?
@@devinallen4708it's the imagery. Isn't it brilliant?
Or it's just highly pretentious bollocks influenced by Colombian sugar and other chemical aids. Not that it isn't good writing, it sounds good, but it very likely means nothing more than another well earned paycheck for a quality band.
@@djinnxx7050 ordinarily I'd agree with you but I have to give it a 'pass' in the context of the totality of SATB. It's the imagery of mortality/"gloom" that goes beyond something as merely 'surreal' as Salvador Dali. They are as dislocating/alienating as the world to come. 2024

Siouxsie Sioux is seriously a fashion icon in her own right.
I agree
Alexis Arrizon yup she really is Fabulous 🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪
I was only a very young child but I remember women doing their hair and dressing up like her in 80's! They were all over. It takes me back whenever I see her performing although I was only vaguely aware of it all at the time! : )
Egyptian
those bejeweled gloves!
How did this song not get on the "Very Best Of CD"? It is their BEST song.
Right? Very surprising it's not on there.
exactly!
It’s my first SatB song. And nothing tops this one.
AGREED. My favorite of theirs.
Damn right
this is the song who make me fall in love with my husband.
Heard during our first kiss.
Cannot forget it.
Elena Bussotti that is such a beautiful memory to share - one that resonates with me!
All the best to you & yours.
I hope to spend the rest of my life with angel too.
My Zack.
Wedding or no.
:D
MAGIC
I read that as "...fall in love with my first husband" lol idk why
Diva
Siouxsie still kicks bum! Anyone listening in 2020?
Yes, she is amazing!
@@Darkdementia65 Sorry but live nowadays past it vocally cigs!!
@@gmantramp404 I agree and it's such a shame. Still great to listen to all her old stuff though x
@@Darkdementia65 👍🤘🤘
since 2017 and forever apparently
Her voice is fascinating...
I want you.
Everything about Siouxsie is fascinating. I love her. In 78 I had a huge poster of her. I wanted to wake up with her every day.
I believe the description you’re looking for is intoxicating 😍
Haunting voice perfect for punk music
Her voice has always been great but it REALLY shines on Hyaena and Tinderbox. On those two albums in particular, her vocals are absolutely beautiful
The 80's weren't crap; we were spoiled! Dazzling indeed.
I only got to enjoy the 80s for 6 months :(
After 83 only the alternative 80s were any good...
@@dream-67
In my opinion, pop new wave was good until 1984. But surely everything changed in 1985, when Gorbachev came to power and world tension began to loosen. That is why Western musicians (new and some of the old ones) breathed a sigh of relief and stopped rebelling, and focused on simple, more often cheerful and funny topics.
Oh, there was ample crap in the 80’s. Artists like Siouxsie Sioux gave unexpected glimmers of hope from the shadows.
The 80s, like every decade, were varied, it had tons of great alternative music, tons of innovation in more experimental and extreme music even, but on the other hand there were lots of shitty pop stuff that aged like crap. Either way, it is probably my favourite decade for music, those who hate on it probably only listened to the most mainstream shit from that time.
Ugh this song is my favorite 🖤🖤
I remember reading in a magazine that she said this song is about greed and disease.
I love when she says
index and thumb
Pull some strings-let them sing
Because it's obvious about a musical instrument but knowing what the song is about I always pictures it as a metaphor for a surgeon closing up a wound with a suture needle and making someone scream.
I'm embarrassed to admit that i've reached 48 years of age and have never seen this fabulous video; now i can't stop watching it.
I videoed onto VHS this song back in 1984☺️
👍👍There are tons of great songs of hers to enjoy
Better late than never. Just make sure to return to it whenever you need some inspiration or a burst of energy (this came out my senior year of high school/freshman year of college and I listened to the music for exactly that). 💖
Don't feel bad about it. I knew "Dazzle" as, just a song, way before seeing the video, myself. Besides, if you haven't seen it for a long enough time, then it's brand knew again -- or -- at our age, it could be early onset Alzheimers. In that case, all the "old Goth music" becomes brand new again... !!! That would mean the adventure starts all over again, so is that such a bed thing?
Tbf, many of us didn't have access to videos back in the day; not really our fault! Most of the music I loved & bought & danced to, I'm only seeing the videos for the 1st time with the miracle of TH-cam, & I LIKE it! 😁
Where would the world be without British music...?
IN A BETTER PLACE

@@aub6120 Sure...
Literally rock n roll was invented in the americas lol
Sounds like a crystal rain✨ Robert smith's keyboards and guitar playing added a magical touch to hyaena. An underrated album
Goddess Siouxsie…!!!!
Budgie is one of the most underrated drummers in rock music!
And self tought too
Not by me he isn't. Still rate him as one of the best skinsmen ever
Heavy influence on me as a drummer
Yes. Yes is is. 👌💯🥁
This song moves me. It stirs something within me that I cannot express or put into words. It makes me cry
I understand this.
Me too. It is such an evocative and powerful song. ✨🖤
Makes me feel human
I adore this single. Everything about SATB captivated me as a teenager and had a big impact on me.
genuinely might be one of the best songs ever
My favorite song by them. The enchanting melody played on the orchestra brilliantly juxtoposed with Robert Smith's violent rough guitars and Budgie's drumming is all the more hunting by the beautiful vocals by Siouxsie.
"Hunting" instead of "haunting"... an appropriate slipup
she was a Queen
Stunning, even today.

That bass line is pretty dark, lol
Pure magic.
It's December 31, 2022 and the music sounds absolutely Modern. Timeless. Unique.
🙋⚡✨
In the 80's first heard it on the radio, had to find out "WOW - who is THAT?"
Speechless...she is the queen of darkness

Best lyrics yet!!!
I hate to admit this, but I used to shoot up so my high started with those lyrics.
Those days are over, but listening to Siouxsie will never be over
@@colleendito2046 we are proud of you
Siouxie's lyrics have such a visually descriptive appeal, so much so, you don't even need the video, if your imagination can make all the visuals you'll ever need.
This song makes me want to laugh, cry, destroy, love, die and resurrect all at the same time
Reminiscent of teen angst!

Siouxsie really understood the visual. Her look is nothing short of genius. On anyone else it would be ridiculous and inauthentic.
Over 30 years later I find out they actually did make a video for my favorite Siouxsie Sioux song.
I want to thank Beth Harris, Beth Barrington and 6 other Beths who introduced me to this band in the 1987.
That's so true. So many videos I missed .. oh well better late than never.
i know it wasnt on the compilation tapes dammit
where have you ppl been?
same here
This , "swimming horses" "painted bird" and "fireworks" are the lesser known that I love and listen to all the time,always loved Siouxsie from day one ,Im now 51, and nobody compares to her originality and timelessness, one of a kind.
51 as well...listened to Hyæna today on vinyl that I've had since a teen...splendid stuff!
@@hrhginger5489 Their run from "Juju" up to "Peepshow" was flawless.
love that Banshee psychedelic wall of sound
In 1987 I was 19, and at roughly the same time I was introduced to the music of Siouxsie, Joy Division, The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, OMD, Depeche Mode, The Smiths, and many more. It was all so... magical, almost. Does that even happen with today's music? Or is it just me as an old fart looking back on the good ole' days? Probably the latter.
I'd say the former; since the beginning of the 2000's, the best I've heard is basically "Okay, well that wasn't so horrifying" or "Okay, I think I can get behind this", but hardly anything makes me say "Whoa! Who's THIS?" . When I DO hear something that makes me react "Whoa! Who's THIS?", it turns out to be something from before the 2000's .... or a band whose first album was in the 90's and can still make something actually decent in the 2000's.
You know? That magic is only unique to your era and when i was about 15 in 2000. I discovered those same bands and the feeling was magical and dreamy. So it carries on. Not a lot of kids were into what I was into. So, I felt nostalgic for an era I never really truly lived. I started dressing accordingly and learned a lot about music and fashion and just so much! I guess you can say it still exists in young people over the years. It will never die. I also became a huge Depeche Mode fan and of course fell in love with them. I still wear my jacket that I spray painted Siouxsie's eyes on the back. ;-)
NO, todays music is terrible. Most kids today listen to a mix of music from now back to the 80s' In the 80's we listened to just ,music from the 80's and 70's, our generation.
@@thecocktailian2091 It really is. I learned so much about great music from listening to music of your era. Blancmange?? Like nothing as unique as that exists in any way today!
@scottsmith I absolutely agree. Those were the good old days when music was real MUSIC. Today's stuff is terrible. We were the lucky ones to grow up in the 80's.
I saw them once and they opened with this song and Siouxsie appeared all in black with a huge feather boa. The stage was dark but the lighting looked like lightning it was so neat.
The Hollywood palladium…
I saw them in San Francisco, I was in shock that I was actually there just feet from her...
I love how she dances, shes so enigmatic.
🙋✨⚡
Don’t have woman like her these days.
Goth Queen 🖤
I agree! 🤘🏻❤🎵🎶
We still exist, we’re just hiding in the shadows.
@@mortchen5494 Really Lmk where those shadows are, so I can have my 🖤💔🖤 be Dazzled.
🙋✨⚡
@@mortchen5494 Still waiting for you to come out of the shadows 😊🖤🙏
I remember hearing this for the first time. It was after Dear Prudence had been a big hit on alternative radio in the us and was played non stop. Dazzle just blew me away and Hyaena was the first Banshee album i bought starting a 40 year love affair with the band. It still sounds so beautiful and there is nothing nostalgic about it
My youngest Norwegian Forest cat is named after this song as she is a dazzling beauty in her pretty silver (torbie) colour. And also to sort of rename her after her great grandmother who was named Siouxsie due to her gorgeous black and white marking with her perfect symmetrical black eye-liner. Love this song (and many more)
This song. Silver AND #Gold
Skating bullets on angel dust
In the dead sea of fluid mercury
Baby piano cries....... MAGIC
Siouxsie + strings = sublime
Why does this song not have a trillion views?
Underrated and Underexposed. I think Siouxsie & The Banshees were way ahead of their time. Though I know virtually nothing about Siouxsie as a person, I feel a kindred spirit connection.
Siouxsie here is pouring magic .... Seemingly invoking. What pure brilliance in an ancient art is displayed in her moves.... Way beyond any fashion she is pure class.
As another commenter said, "style"!
After revisiting every Siouxsie song and saying "This is my fav!" I've come to the conclusion that I have no favorites..
They're all pretty damn good.
Yep..we love them all😏💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙(/-\)..
@S Frederici ..Yer nailed it in one tiny phrase my friend😃😁😊😆😉💜💙💜..

It's pretty impossible to find a Stand Alone.
I have this issue with 99.9% of Cocteau Twins songs
I think I personally prefer Glamour Mix over this version
This song is pure magic
🙋✨⚡
She is pure Magic
beautiful song and heartfelt video!
I'm not into metal, and this gave me goosebumps
Queen of the 80's rock scene.
One of my favourite Siouxsie songs 🎵
I can listen to this on a loop for hours.
I remember reading some article online where Siouxsie said, that this song was inspired by the Dustin Hoffman film "Marathon Man." The "Swallowing Diamonds" lyrics refers to how Hoffman's character makes (well forces really), the Nazi Criminal played by Laurence Oliver swallow some diamond's, he had smuggled. It's a great film btw.
I think Siouxsie has one of the greatest voices ever recorded! I definitely think she's the greatest female rock singer.
So powerful and full of every emmotion.
Damn right!
Along with Ann Wilson and Karen Carpenter!
Oh, and of course Stevie Nicks...
Lovely comment, see ya!
Her voice dazzles me 🖤
She’s on the Mt. Rushmore of female vocalists for sure
A thing of beauty ❤
My god this is beautiful
Man I wish I were born in the 80s, it’s fascinating to listen to this song right now, but I always imagine that unique feeling of listening to it for the very first time on the radio 📻 🥺💛
eu tbm
I was there!💎
So you should wish you were born in the early 70s then so you could enjoy the 80s.
Biggest difference was the number of bands available and how they were perceived . This band was considered extremely underground in 84 - I was considered a freak for loving this type of music . Another very prevalent thing was the Mystique , latter related to not having this overload of information where you have 1 million bands to choose from one click away - you would focus much more on things and plus , you had little idea how these things were done since you didn´t have the internet expaining you how you play the Bass in - a - week or how to master the latest version of Fruity Loops in 1 hour .
Magical , that is how this sounded like ... life changing , we would copy what we saw , what we heard , yet , we knew each and every song on that album . Focus as opposed to the dispersion you have today .
Having said this , even though very different epochs , I find this as fascinating and vibrant , just yesterday I was listening to Burial´s new- ish " Antidawn " EP and I was mesmerized by its passion/sound .
A little nuance here , another one there ... at the core , nothing ever changes .
Apologise if a " yes " or " no " type of question turned into a pretty boring and extensive rant 😂
@@jenniferaustin6471 exactly. So grateful to be a teen in the 80s and have punk, new wave, both and alternative shape me
The star that shone but never shrank.
40 años ya! no lo puedo creer! 💎👄💎 🖤🖤🖤
My favorite part of this video by Siouxsie and the Banshees is when it shows the close up of the gun chamber 🎶🙋
This song always gives me goosebumps;
remembering it live.
Noch heute 2024 ist das Lied ein Hammer ❤❤❤.Ich liebe es 🎉🎉🎉
My god, this is beautiful. Amazing.
💥💥💥 80's MAGIC 💥💥💥
Such a great tune! This here, is one of the reasons why Siouxsie Sioux is just Queen of Goth.
I hate having to keep explaining this to kids, who weren't even a gleam in their daddy's eye when Ms.Ballion was strutting her stuff in the late 70s/early 80s - The Banshees disavowed the 'goth' label and had moved on from the darkness/doom/gloom/black schtick after they did 'Ju-Ju'.
@@eddiewillers1 And before goth, they where "punk" it doesn't matter that they moved to a new category.They where at their peak when they made Juju and where pioneers of that 'scene",whether they decided to "move on" at that point is irrelevant.The evidence was captured at the time, and will continue to be entertaining in that format.
You just cannot put a label on Siouxsie. Siouxsie is Simply her own movement. The whole band has always just been experimentive.

I love Siouxsie's voice in this song.
Damn. That was heavy.
Masterful pairing of music to lyric. Steven Severin looks cool af in this video.
Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark brought me here.
She shared a snippet of this song on her Valentine's Day Instagram story.
In her movie Elvira Mistress of the Dark when she carries her suitcase into the Cozy Cot you can see a Dazzle Siouxsie sticker on her luggage.
Played this over and over on TAPE my first semester in college in Nyc. My class got tired of Siouxsie but I didn’t care 😂💁🏽♂️
lyrical brilliance . oh Siouxsie you temptress
🖤Didn' know there was a video!!!! 🖤 I'm never coming out of the 80s.. . Ever!🖤
The intro to this track is stunningly beautiful
One of the most beautiful pieces of music for us of a certain generation
🙋✨⚡
the best song ever made
I remember bein in his in the 200s and my friend sent me this. 10 years later I showed my little cousin and now she wears Siouxsie makeup. I love it. Goth kids unite thru the generations.
Brilliant artist
One of the most powerful songs that Souxsie and the Banshees ever created, she was part of The Bromley Contingent, a bunch of middle class punks who appeared on The Bill Grundy Show and were propelled to fame after he was sacked.
There's nothing like hearing Classical Instrument's played along with those magical Post-Punk guitars, along with Sioux's visually emotive lyrics. There's nothing like listening to those heavy 4/4 cello's, vibrate with such luscious base-tones. Personally, I never needed the video, because in "my" World of tempered Faust, her vocal narrative's create spectacular forms of action:
"Skating Bullets on Angel Dust,
In a Dead Sea of Fluid Mercury,
Baby Piano Cry,
Open your Heavy Index and Thumb,
Pull some Strings,
Let them Sing"
Do musicians write lyrics this anymore? There's an unexpected Gothic Romance to this particular music or some unquantifiable mystique which dwells in between words with rhythm. My personality has always found a level of boredom and hopelessness for anything, that I can quickly problem solve. I've kept up with the Goth/Industrial scene, beginning in 1982 until today -- Theirs one musician currently, who might write somewhat similarly at times is Victoria Legrand of Beach House.
I'm someone who doesn't live in the past. I stay engaged with todays "Real Underground Subculture" and I refuse self-stagnation, that's the secret of life. I'm reminded of Anne Rice books, when her Vampires always had one obsession which keep them grounded to cope with eternity. If I was one of her character's, then collecting music is mine and staying relevant. Currently, teenage kids are just "using" Goth music and fashion, because its become popular, against the dogma of all that's polar opposite to what being Goth represented.
I'm a practicing Psychiatrist and I teach Psychology at a large University. University students are different and I have a "Classic Goth" thing going on -- Black on black clothes; Four button British tailored suite jackets; Punk pants with zippers and straps; 40-hole polished combatboots; I still wear gobs of silver jewelry; but, no I don't wear makeup or have red hair anymore. You should look at their faces; when, I drive up to the lecture-hall in a classic 59' Jaguar MK IX with this music or Wumpscut's, "Soylent Green" playing. Some ask questions, but most know that Goth is a lifestyle to me, it's not some phase.
If it's a phase, then you're not Goth to begin with; plus, I'm sort-of famous now by giving a cash prize to the first student who can identify some weird obscure Goth/Industrial song -- before final exams.
I still have a lot of fun with it... !!! -- Why Not?
I hear you! I still love Pat Metheny after 42 years when I was first introduced to his music, and "The First Circle" is still my favorite song of his. I went to one of two concerts he did here in Atlanta during that tour and tried to figure out the rhythm of that song. He was totally astonished, because I came closer than anyone else had at the time. I guessed 18,8. It's actually 22, 8! What a thrill! I'll never forget it.
@@heatherstub I think it fun to have a really good ear, because it helps your favorite performer's know that you're really paying attention. It might be something they may have inserted, possibly that one little thing that makes a song memorable. Most people can't specifically identify it, but it's there.
This takes me straight back to my university days ❤
Siouxsie's voice is like a magnet for me 🤩
I thought this song was a dream (I'd only heard it on our local College Radio station while half-asleep after returning from the clubs) until I heard it during the day on KROQ.
Whereas many fans might say some rather inappropriate things about their female icons, with Siouxie I just feel like bowing to her. She's a fucking goddess. Period.
I remember when this came out! I couldn’t get enough of this song! Gorgeous. Forgotten until Kal-x UC Berkeley played it yesterday… It’s just a bit short… needs to be played on a loop… Love you, Siouxsie! 3:26
There's an extended mix available - hope this helps
