Siouxsie And The Banshees
Live Performance of "The Last Beat Of My Heart"
1991-8-28 King County Fairgrounds
Enumclaw, WA. U.S.A. (Lollapalooza)

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
Solitude sails
In a wave of forgiveness
On angels' wings

Reach out your hands
Don't turn your back
Don't walk away
How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you
'Til the last beat
Of my heart

At the close of day
The sunset cloaks
These words in shadowplay
Here and now, long and loud
My heart cries out
And the naked bone of an echo says
Don't walk away

Reach out your hands
I'm just a step away
How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you
'Til the last beat
Of my heart

How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
'Til the last beat
'Til the last fleeting beat
Of my heart

  • You know I've seen several versions of this song online & this one seems to be "lit from behind." There's something positively haunting, five minutes where time stood still in rural Western Washington State. Five minutes where the truth of life & hurt & love & pain & longing was carefully & lovingly explained to us.

  • This woman was LIGHTYEARS ahead of her time.
