Fluffy was a punk rock band from London and active between 1994 and 1998. The band's most prominent lineup consisted of singer and guitarist Amanda Rootes, guitarist Bridget Jones, bassist Helen Storer, and drummer Angie Adams. The band recorded several singles, an EP, and a studio album, Black Eye, in 1996. The band formed in 1994 after classmates, Amanda Rootes and Angie Adams were inspired by a jazz-blues singer in one of Old Compton Street's gay cafes. They were attending college in London at the time, studying art and design. Guitarist Bridgette Jones did her A levels before joining and the band began rehearsing in Rootes' living room. Fluffy's original bassist was Pandora Ormsby-Gore, but she left the band to become an actress, changing her name to Pandora Colin. Shortly afterwards, Mancunian Helen Storer left Kingston University to join and the band began recording.

Fluffy's first singles "Hypersonic" and "Husband" (both produced by Mal Campbell and Tony Wilson from Freaks of Desire) were released in 1995. The band frequently played shows in their early days at underground fetish balls and parties, such as at Torture Garden and Submission, and gained attention for their raucous shows, performing barefoot in slip dresses. "Young girls shouldn't be afraid to look feminine…" Rootes told Select. "So many girls are afraid to be girls. Apart from Courtney Love, who's really feminine and uses her sexuality and is a strong woman. I don't think women should dress like boys. That's what's great about PJ Harvey. She was boyish and now she's gone really glam. She looks amazing and she's become an icon: a real woman."

They were signed by Dave Stewart of Eurythmics to the publishing side of his label, Anxious Records. Stewart threw a party for the band's first single, "Hypersonic". Although Fluffy were initially signed to Parkway Records, (owned by press agents Phill Savidge and John Best of Savidge and Best), it was not until A&R man Tom Zutaut signed them to a two album deal with The Enclave/Hut/Virgin, that Fluffy gained wider notoriety. The band appeared on the NME's yearly bratbus tour in 1996, along with The Bluetones, The Cardigans, and Heavy Stereo. The band's debut album Black Eye was released in 1996, and the band supported the Foo Fighters on tour. They were the opening act for the Sex Pistols reunion tour of Japan, as well as the Sex Pistol's first reunion show at Finsbury Park.

Fluffy were also the opening band during the European part of Marilyn Manson's 'Anti-Christ Superstar' tour, and toured the U.S. with the Neurotic Outsiders. Their music video for "Black Eye" was shot in New Orleans by Floria Sigismondi, and the making of the video was documented by MTV. Their album Black Eye was produced by Bill Price, who also recorded Never Mind the Bollocks. The band was regularly featured in several magazines; Kerrang, Q, Select, NME, and Melody Maker. They also appeared on several UK television shows, including The Big Breakfast, Hotel Babylon, and Top of the Pops.

Fluffy finally split in 1998, when Rootes and Storer moved to Los Angeles, California. Rootes went on to form Harlow, who participated in the VH1 reality television show, Bands on the Run. Storer joined Jessicka's band, Jack Off Jill in 2000 for their final performance, played in Fireball Ministry and also played bass in Duff McKagan's solo band, Loaded, and then formed Thee Heavenly Music Association with Guitarist/Producer Dave Hillis. She is a vocalist on the Twilight Singers album, She Loves You, with Mark Lanegan and Greg Dulli. Adams and Jones formed an all-girl-band called Darling. They live in London.

Black eye

Nothing

I've set my house on fire
I've gone out in drag
And I've split the atom
I've crashed the hardest diamond
I've drunk the deepest sea
I've rocketed to Uranus

Chorus

And now there's
Nothing anymore
Nothing makes me
Happy anymore
Nothing x 6
Makes me happy anymore

I ate my bed and breakfast
I've turned my red cells blue
And I've chilled the Arctic
I've jumped off a building
And I've flown home
I ran away to Mexico

Chorus

Hypersonic

Overwhelmed, savage sculpture
Vibrating scream, eat me like a vulture
Burns me up quickly, can't slow down
Need to get higher where I can't be found

Chorus

Got reach my super climax
Although the pleasure gives me pain
I'm shooting, shooting to a hypersonic plane
Yeah baby
Hypersonic, oh yeah

Gotta thrust further, gotta touch the cream
On ice sculpture with its sparkling gleam
Melts me quickly, can't slow down
Need to get higher where I can't be found

Chorus

Cause you will never see me cry
You will never see me cry

Black Eye

Scream

Your turn away
Resentfully
I take no blame
For my vulgarity

Chorus

You're choking as you try to laugh
You're vomiting up cream
And with a kiss you cut my tongue
I've lost my voice to scream

Give it back to me
I'm not as drunk as I seem
I can't scream
You walk away
Whilst they whore me
Taking no blame
Full of jealousy

Chorus

Give it back to me
I'm not as drunk as I seem
You filled my lungs with Kerosine
And now you've raped my voice to scream
I can't scream

And now you've raped my voice to scream

I wanna be your lush

I wanna be your lush
Your little bit of fluff
Lock me in a cage
Don't wanna act so tough

Chorus

Tie me down honey
Make me feel secure
Bliss me up baby
For you I will be pure
Chase me
Catch me
Possess me
I wanna be your lush

I wanna be your kitten
Caress my fur
Suffocate me with a whisper
Hear me purr

Chorus

Tie me down honey
Make me feel secure
Bliss me up baby
For you I will be pure
Chase me
Catch me
Possess me
I wanna be your lush
Drown me in your lust
I wanna be your lush

I wanna be your strawberry
Devour my flesh
Taste my sickly sweetness
Sweeter than the rest

Chorus

Tie me down honey
Make me feel secure
Bliss me up baby
For you I will be pure
Chase me
Catch me
Possess me
I wanna be your lush
Drown me in your lust
Your little bit of fluff

I wanna be your
I wanna be your
I wanna be your lush

Crossdresser

Slut angel selling acid punch
Dominatrix with a submissive glance
Botticelli with a tattooed bust

Chorus

She tried as hard as she could
But not as hard as he thinks she should
So she's a
Crossdresser
He'll never possess her
Crossdresser
Deceit under pressure
And when she was bad
She was very, very bad
And when she was good
She was horrid

He's so embarrassed when she lets herself go
So she acts like a good girl, puts on a show
All this pretence leaves them both feeling low, but

Chorus

1st verse repeated
She tried as hard as she could
But not as hard as he thinks she should

So she's a
Crossdresser
He'll never possess her
Crossdresser
Deceit under pressure
And when she was bad
She was very, very bad
And when she was good
She was horrid
Yeh cross dresser

Psychofudge

He's gotta feel sweet inside
The spark hits
And his mouth is dry
It doesn't matter 'cause he's feeling high
But his eyes are streaming

Chorus

Spiral ride, nauseous tide
Brain fried, pupils wide
He's gotta have
He's gotta have
Psychofudge

All the words he speaks are lies
The spark hits
He's no longer shy
His forehead's frowning, but he says he's fine
Cause the nectar's dripping

Chorus

Just one more little line
A little edge
Helps him lose time
Nothing matters except the next high
But his nose is bleeding

Chorus

Too famous

You've got so many fans
they love you not your backing band
You're so fantastic, in fact you're great
Oh yeah, don't take of those shades

Chorus

Too famous
Las Vegas
Too famous

The women throw themselves at you
They're so many what can you do?
When the kids scream there is a racket
You've got a magnificent packet

Chorus

No one washes the place you kiss
Cause you're on God's holy list
You are a horizontal hoover
Shake those hips you little mover

Chorus

Technicolour yawn

Woke up in a bed of vomit
I think I hate myself
Woke up in a bed of vomit
I lost my pink wig and I'm in hell

Chorus

Don't tell me
Don't tell me
What I did last night
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
What I said last night 'cause
Everything's not alright

Woke up in a bed of vomit
My head hurts, I wanna die
Woke up in a bed of vomit
The low just isn't worth the high

Cosmetic dog

Who do you think you're kidding?
They're not staring at you
Your ego's bigger than Jesus
They don't care about you
Cosmetic Dog

Why do you want to demean me?
I've done nothing to you
You seem to want something from me
You're not getting it though
Cosmetic Dog

How come you're always so nasty?
You'll get nowhere like that
Behind you, everyone's laughing
Your attitude's grown so fat

Cosmetic Dog

Cosmetic Dog x 3

Crawl

I don't even know myself
Everything I think is you
I don't even take a breath
Until you've told me to

Chorus

My lie is true, My lie is true
It is I swear to you
My lie is true, My lie is true
It is I swear to you

You don't want to
You don't want to see me crawl

Do you know how hard I try
To never let you see me cry
I seem to have too much control
and now I feel cold

Chorus

I don't want to
I don't want to
I don't want to want to want to
I don't want you
I don't want you
I don't want you want you want you
You don't want to
You don't want to see me crawl

And I don't even know myself
Every thought I think is you
I don't even take a breath
Until you have told me to

Chorus

You don't want to
You don't want to see me crawl
No, you don't want to
No, you don't want to see me crawl

Husband

He doesn't like the colour of your hair
When you get in put back on your underwear
He thinks you look fat in that dress
The truth is he doesn't want you to effervesce

Chorus

So you do waht he says but you're hating inside
You do what he says but you're waiting inside
He doesn't have to wear a ring
Your girlfriends know you better than him
He tells you you're a bitch, you've begun to believe him
You never did marry, aren't you living in sin?
Now you're wearing a see through dress
He'd kill you if he knew but you couldn't care less

Chorus

1st verse repeated

So you do what he says but you're hating inside
You do what he says but you're waiting inside

So you do wht he says but you're hating inside
You do what he says but you're waiting inside

Dirty old bird

Dirty old bird
Drunk again
No use for her
Spit on her, then
Turn her over
Once again
Dirty old bird
Drunk again

Hold her down now
Hit the bitch
She'll make no sound

Dirty ol bird
Lost again
No way forward
Beat her up, then
Turn her over
Once again
Dirty old bird
Drunk again

Hold her down now
She's a whore
There's no one around

1st verse repeated

Hold her down now
Hit the bitch
She'l make no sound

Turn her over
Once again
Dirty old bird
Drunk again

Hold her down now
She's a whore
There's no one around


Cheap

I gave him head
On his teenage bed
Didn't want to
But I never said

Chorus

His strawberry flavour words
Are turning me, drawing me
I wake up feeling cheap
And beginning to bleed
And I don't know how, and I don't know why
I feel so cheap

Wanna please
But begin to freeze
Can't wait to go
Chance I gotta seize

Chorus

In his Ford
Feeling clawed
My bleeding
Makes me feel whored

Chorus x 2

1st verse repeated


Deny everything

See her sitting on the tube, her lips about to speak.
She wants to tell him everything, she feels so guilty and so cheap.

But don't you ever tell, he'll make your life a sick hell,
but don't you ever tell you may burst and you may swell but,
deny everything, never confess,
deny everything, truth never should undress.

They go walking in the park, accusations move the trees,
her secret so wants to depart, begging you please tell him please.

But don't you ever tell, he'll make your life a sick hell,
but don't you ever tell you may burst and you may swell but,
deny everything, never confess, deny everything
truth never should undress.

But don't you ever tell, he'll make your life a sick hell,
but don't you ever tell you may burst and you may swell but,
deny everything, never confess, deny everything
truth never should undress.

Deny everything, everything, everything, everything.
