Siouxsie and The Banshees-Mittageisen

[Veriditasify]

My Lullaby......diolch yn fawr xxxx

[Drexxell666]

The Scream is still my all time favorite acid album. May say something...

[ZLUGGO]

Prima!

[mnogueira89]

And nowadays we have miley cirus,britney spears and all of those shits...

[freddo27]

Babelfish translates these lyrics to"Reunion begins with a glass mercury television flickers for still another message guns lights up the eyes of the sitting family. „Metal is strongly, metal wants to seem rusty not if lubricated and metal is pure strongly, metal wants to seem, metal governed in my master plan with mechanical jerks picks the bags of clock teeth to the lunch Friday in the bouncing says „pardon back must I turns my dear machinery"

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

@freddo27 Those translation sites are very unreliable when it comes to translating texts because while they know how to translate words, they are TERRIBLE at getting the grammar right.

[freddo27]

@IAmPlaysWithSquirrel I know mate, they can be funny though, especially if you translate across several languages then back to English. Whatever, this is a blindin number. I have the single somewhere, 45 ep with 'Love in a void' and another one I forget on there. Great song.

[freddo27]

..always amusing to see those 'disco duck' audiences on these crappy TV pop shows looking bemused while a punk band played

[simoom37]

grandiose. siouxsie in german = perfect combination!!! CLASS !!

[7OLGA7]

Not my favourite period of this band, but the performance is exciting.

[DoogeMeister]

@7OLGA7 This was when they were at their best. Wasn't a huge fan of some of the very later material but all the early stuff is just amazing

[kordinia]

[Schwejk]

Reunion beginnt mit einem Glas Quecksilber Fernsehen flimmert für noch eine Nachricht Flinten beleuchten die Augen der sitzenden Familie. „Metall ist stark, Metall will scheinen verrostet nicht wenn geschmiert und rein Metall ist stark, Metall will scheinen, Metall regiert in meinem Meisterplan mit mechanischem Rucken pflücken die Taschen Uhrzähne zum Mittagessen Freitag im Rückprall sagt „Verzeihung zurück muß ich kehren meine liebe Maschinerie ...

[Schwejk]

@Schwejk Teil 2:

Es beherrscht unser Leben, es bring kein Heil ich schreibe ein paar Zeilen Das Wetter hier ist fein doch dröhnt es Tag und Nacht durch Lautsprecher.

[adaand605]

Nice! I have this video in black and white and very bad quality :(

[Botze69]

Lustig lustig. Danke für die "Übersetzung" weiter unten. Wusste sie, was sie da singt??

Gutes Lied -auf englisch!!!  ;-))

[warminator]

Wow. I knew there was a german version of this song, but never heard it.

I prefer the english version, as a native german speaker this sounds ....a bit....weird.

[ricchardo]

I always thought "Mittageeisen" meant "Lunch" not "Metal Postcard" am I wrong?

[warminator]

you`re right. "Mittageisen" can mean "Middayiron" or "Lunch - (iron)". :)

[petrusaloisius]

and now sing in dutch please :)

[HarryPotter87]

Excellent song- in German! She really owes some to Laetitia Sadier, the frontwoman of Stereolab, who sings in French.

[ceprun]

Reunion beginnt

mit einem Glas Quecksilber

Fernsehen flimmert

für noch eine Nachricht

Flinten beleuchten die Augen

der sitzenden Familie

[ceprun]

"Metall ist Stark, Metall will scheinen

verrostet nicht wenn geschmiert und rein"

"Metall ist Stark, Metall will scheinen,

Metall regiert in meinem Meister-Plan"

Mit mechanischem Rucken

pflücken die Taschen Uhrzähne

zum Mittagessen Freitag

im Rückprall sagt "Verzeihung

zurück muß ich kehren

meine liebe Maschinerie"

[ceprun]

Es beherrscht unser Leben,

Es bringt kein heil

Ich schreibe ein paar Zeilen

Das Wetter hier ist fein

Doch dröhnt es Tag und Nacht

durch Lautsprecher.

[ceprun]

"Metall ist stark, Metall will scheinen

verrostet nicht wenn geschmiert und rein"

"Metall ist stark, Metall will scheinen,

Metall regiert in meinem Meister-Plan"

[adaand605]

Which year is it? Have this song on a bootleg cd, the name of the cd is WET

[HarryPotter87]

Probaby 1978 or 1979. This vid seems dated.

[Kittenskickyourass]

The album's called The Scream...

[blacklabrador2]

Where were they playing? That's a great song.

[MARIANOHARRY1980]

I love this bitch... Deborah Harry and Siouxsie Sioux are the real rock and roll...

nevertheless their age they still rock.

[HarryPotter87]

If they were still active today, they would outsell Miley Cyrus!!! :p

[StrummerLivesxxx]

They wouldn't. Unfortunatley half of the world is deluded and thinks Miley Cyrus and Jonas Brothers are goo music. :/

[Wedneswere]

@StrummerLivesxxx What's "goo music" ? LOL

[StrummerLivesxxx]

@Wedneswere Haha, you know what I mean :P

[peytonazak]

@StrummerLivesxxx hahaha "goo music" well, they are 'goo' music but I know what you mean

[JoshL88]

Ahh this is so good.

Thanks.

[coolashdouglas]

I like her doing the German best. But, naturally I had both on vinyl as Sioux is the bollocks. Can't play either now though so thanks for this ;-)

[roddy76to86]

So do I !!

[PsychoSioux]

Thank you so much for this - had it on video tape but the video has disappeared!

[inreanre]

ich versteh kein einziges Wort

[roddy76to86]

This is great!! Can you give the history of this? I think it's the B-side 7" version (I used to have it, then lost it, and I can't even remember what was on the A-side!) superimposed over a live film performance. Wherever it came from, many thanks for posting.

[roddy76to86]

Just remembered - I think the A-side was "Love In A Void".

[coolashdouglas]

Yeah, it was the B-side of the 7 inch english as I remember. Typical, it's lost, borrowed and not returned or nicked. Metal Postcard, Uh Huh.

[roddy76to86]

I actually found it a couple of weeks ago. Badly scratched though, the result of too many parties !!

[ABFABBAND]

weird! I knew there was a german version of this song, but I never heard or saw it.

Thanks for posting!

[solwolfpunk]

WOW!!! Thank you!!!! This is so great.

[coolashdouglas]

I did and liked it (Mittageisen German version) more than (Metal Postcard, so to speak) and as I lost it, once again, yeah thanks for posting ;-)

[darrendarling]

just when you think you've seen every clip there is to be seen, especialy of the original line up. thank you.
