Partys Fall - Siouxsie and the Banshees

Lyrics
Your parties fall around you
Another night beckons to you
Your parties fall around you
Another night beckons to you

Shadows loom 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

In your mind, crystal lights rebound
Wheels spin round and you hear the sound
Of Autumn's call at party's fall

Through rose-tinted glass you still remember
The gladness, not sadness, only laughter

In your mind, vicious lights rebound
Wheels spin round and you hear the sound
Of Autumn's call at party's fall

The smile in the mirror grows weaker
The laughter you heard is growing fainter

Your parties fall around you
The night forgets to rouse you
Your party's fall astounds you
An aura of sadness abounds you

Glad rags sigh
Maybe you're alone inside, don't hide
Hurting all the time, hurting deep inside, don't cry
My happiness depends on knowing this friend is never alone
On your own
A party on our own
We'll have a party on our own inside
No sighs

I know many of my friends back then didn't Care for Tinder Box and The Cities in Dust single...But I still think Tinder Box was one of their best albums! Remember This Unrest? Just Brilliant! Love this song Thanks for posting! Glad rag sighs, Maybe your alone! You can even hear a bit of Spellbound and Isreal in this song!

[skywalker74]

It's their most underrated album for sure.

[SexVampireBite]

@MARKSVIGIL and it never sounds dated, even now. They were really ahead of their time.

The guitar on the whole album is simply breathtaking - and this song in particular. 92 degrees too. Brilliant

Partys Fall so good on Tinderbox!! The Tiderbox album deserves credit for creating this threatening, nearly frightening feeling. just like the front cover..

[bradco6]

I love all the alterna new wave bands from the 80's, but as I look back, I realize they all just wanted to be David Bowie and Roxy Music. But hey, if you have to have influences, you can't go wrong with those two.

The Tinderbox tour was my first ever Siouxsie and the Banshees show (supported by Love and Rockets!) and while Tinderbox wasn't my favorite record at the time (I felt they had peaked with Hyæna) it has taken it's place alongside their very best for me as the decades have past.

Next to Hyaena, Tinderbox was one of their best efforts.The songwriting, performance, production all came together on Tinderbox.

[nobby1997]

It's their finest output ever IMO, dark and ethereal.

@Hermes4Apollo Why just cause Cities got the air play ??? Cities is just as good as Cannons & Partys fall or Candyman They are all in the same mystical realm

@MARKSVIGIL this unrest might just be one of my favorite siouxsie songs, slightly ironic in pretense of your truthful statement about a lot of people not caring for the albums too much, but I always tended to like a lot of the lesser like SaTB songs..

This was a song from the first album I'd ever bought by Siouxsie and the Banshees, I bought it on a whim, just to see who they were, I'd never heard of em till that day. Best thing I ever did was take a chance on a band I'd never heard of, I wore this album out, among others published by Siouxsie. man this brings back memories, they were bad times, I only remember the good times when I hear this though. Good ass post, thanks.
