that was great, never saw that one before...this was when Robert Smith was the guitar player....i have seen them twice, always a huge fan, thanks for the video!!
Fun piece of trivia: Siouxsie Sioux and Neil Finn of Crowded House share the exact same birthday. And at 2:56 to 3:00, if you look at her very slant, she and Finn almost... eerily... resemble. o.O
The metaphor swimming horses i personally think is related to the fact that male sea horses give birth to their young therefore it is their responsibility, even woman who are raped, in the middle east are stoned to death for having sex before marriage by religious fanatics its sickening.
Heh. I love that little smile she gives between 2:59 and 3:00. I remember loving this song as a small child and going into a trance listening to her enchanting voice as well as the beautiful instrumentation.
Though I admit I don't know what the "giving birth to swimming horses" part means, it's still a very cool video and song, thanks Dinky for passing this to me:)*****Drakavai

Can't believe after 26yrs of Siouxsie writing this song, women in the middle east are still being stoned and killed..........
Even the seriousness of this song....... Its still my fave and gives my goose bumps, goose bumps!! Luv Ya Lady Siouxsie xxx

for me, it is closedly related to women in the middle est. their impossibility to be theirselves because of male dominated society

Indeed - those lines "kinder with poison than pushed down a well" filled my mind at night with
visions of the abuse suffered by women in unamable nations...
