Biography

Alternative / modern rock band from Madison, Wisconsin, USA. Shirley Manson - vocals, keyboards, guitar Duke Erikson - bass, guitar, keyboards Steve Marker - guitar, keyboards, loops Butch Vig - drums, loops, noise, fx In the early 1980s, rock producers Vig (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins) and Marker founded Smart Studios, a recording studio in Madison, Wisconsin. Vig and musician friend Erikson formed the group Fire Town in the late 1980s, an offshoot from their disbanded band Spooner. Marker was their roadie. Vig and Marker began making electronic/rock mixes for artists like Nine Inch Nails and House Of Pain. In 1993 they decided they wanted to form a band that employed the remix and genre-bending approach they experimented with earlier and began looking for a singer and fourth collaborator. Guitarist Steve Marker came across a video of Scottish band Angelfish on MTV's "120 Minutes". Struck by the lead singer's (Shirley Manson) voice, he informed the guys and their manager contacted Manson, inviting her to audition in Madison, Wisconsin. After an unsuccessful audition, Manson asked to audition again, which led to skeletal versions of a few songs. The band officially formed in 1994, and released their self-titled debut in 1995. All four members are involved in songwriting and production.

LYRICS

Water was running, children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares' shrine?
Ohh, oh your city lies in dust
But ohh, oh your city lies in dust
My friend

We found you hiding, we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands

But ohh, oh your city lies in dust
Ohh, oh your city lies in dust
My friend
My friend

Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Water was running, children werе running
We found you hiding, we found you lying

Hot and burning in your nostrils
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Molten bodiеs, blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes, and ohh

Ohh, oh your city lies in dust
And ohh, oh your city lies in dust
Ohh, oh your city lies in dust
Ohh, oh your city lies in dust
My friend
My friend
My friend
My friend

Your city lies in dust
Your city lies in dust
Your city, your city
This city lies in dust
Your city, this city
My city lies in dust
Lies in dust
It lies in dust
I love you Siouxsie
