This London, England-based quartet, was formed in 1994, led by the stunning singer "Skin" (Deborah Dyer). After attending a furniture design course at Teesside Polytechnic in Middlesbrough, she returned to the capital and started meeting musicians on the local circuit. Her original band was shelved for being too "rockist", but she retained the services of bass player Richard "Cass" Lewis and in January 1994 began rehearsing with Skunk Anansie. The band comprised of Cass (Richard Keith Lewis on bass), Ace (Martin Ivor Kent on guitar), and Robbie French on drums. The Band took their name from the combination of the mammal (skunk) and a spider from Jamaican folk stories (anansie). One Little Indian Records, smelling something good cooking, picked up Skunk just 5 months after forming and they soon released their debut single, "Little Baby Swastikkka'. It was only available through mail order from BBC Radio 1's Evening Session but soon started making waves through the press and listener-ship alike. 'Musician' magazine said; "With a sound as hard as it is smart, Skunk Anansie smolders with a passion that almost sounds anachronistic in the ultra-ironic '90s..." March 1995"s controversial "Selling Jesus" single was followed by work on label mate Bj'rk's "Army Of Me" single followed by the release of their debut album. 'Paranoid and Sunburnt' contained an unpredictable brew of agit prop and funk metal. Skin's lyrics and deliverance remained steadfastly forceful and full of conviction winning the band new converts, gathering themselves momentum all the time with the singles "I Can Dream" and "Charity" skirting the edges of the UK Top 40 in June and September respectively. The band set off on the road and toured extensively over the next few months, including shows with Therapy? and Senser and as part of the NME's Bratbus coalition. The band were also the first to appear on the first edition of Channel 4's 'The White Room' TV show. They set about recording their next album enlisting the help of producer Garth Richardson, (who had produced the first rage again the machine album). Entitled 'Stoosh', the results were startling. Featuring new drummer Mark Richardson (ex-Little Angels) it was a harder-edged collection of songs, characterized by metal-edged guitar and Skin spitting out her lyrics. In most cases controversial lyrics end up sounding contrived, but on this collection, Skin sounded as though she really ****ing meant it. Her anger on the excellent opening track, "Yes It's Fucking Political", was almost tangible. The band also reaped the rewards with four UK Top 30 singles in 1996, "Weak", a re-issue of "Charity" from the first album, "All I Want" and "Twisted (Everyday Hurts)". The band eventually parted company with One Little Indian and went on to sign a worldwide deal with Virgin Records. 'Post Orgasmic Chill' was premiered by the thunderous clatter of UK Top 20 single, "Charlie Big Potato", but the album's indifferent reception hastened Skunk Anansie's demise. Skin released her solo debut, Fleshwounds, in June 2003.

Faithfulness Faithfulness Distracts me from my ever changing Tastefulness My mouth upon the richest tongues I run for this Static at the same time by it all Common sense Can slap me in the face And yet I calm disent Embarrassed by your obvious Indifference Disgusted at the same time by it all Watching as my ego breaks your fall Don't you know that I've Been running from you heart And I feel like you've been running too Don't you know that I've been lying from the start And I feel like you've been lying too. Leave you now Can't convince myself That you're the one somehow To free me from this smile I call my loneliness Stuck inside this need to feel complete Now I've left you standing on your feet Don't you know that I've been running from you heart And I feel like you've been running too Don't you know that I've been lying from the start And I feel like you've been lying too. Faithfulness is just a little rule We break Still pretending lust was just a fool We faked, we made
Trashed I'm like a soldier With no cause to fight Playing with bar boys To test you just right I watch your features I check for a sign Of some kind of failure Then I feel sublime Now I know I have to live without you I can only bend so far Guess it's time to make some moves without you Now you've gone and trashed my heart Solid demeanor I look good a feat Still I'm too vicous To take on defeat Yes I hear You don't feel this any more I see There's nothing to believe in anymore Just two snitches on heat Still avoiding the grief Because it felt so hard Don't Let Me Down You always say I want too much Is it such a crime To want more than just lust Oh baby Why have you frozen now I can't conceive The way this feels You've grown so old like you're counting the tears Oh, baby Why have you frozen now And you say it doesn't matter We'll always be The best of friends Still I need you To stay right here So don't let me down I've always said I can't abuse Your lust for life And the choices you choose Oh, baby Why have we broken now
Listen To Yourself You're talking In circles The words spit out your head They blind you With emotion that's plain dead There wet sheets Sex sodden Mind spent and ill at ease You mirror Screams out this dark release Cos only you can be your help So darling listen Listen to yourself Cos only you can tame your hell So darling listen Listen to yourself You know truth But deny it Too scared to make a break Pure feeling Just squandered in your wake Don't tell me Your virtues Then run the same lame strife To tiring These excerpts of your life Lost What was I waiting for Waiting for the bubble to burst Over your stagnant pauses Can't cure what your devil don't see Or light a fire below the death of me We've shot through all over our causes Days spin through my heart That sever the love Kill all the pain with shame I won't be lost without you I've found a way to get through Now I'm up and running Strong enough to walk away And leave you all alone I won't be lost What were you waiting for Waiting for the straw to break Over the back of desperate ways You were a dream to me Now you're nothing but a heart that bleeds I'll wash you off and carry on (Repeat bridge and chorus) And when I see you I find another reason To keep myself from getting lost in you
The Trouble With Me Can't see you through your blinding words Eyes burning through the lies you stutter Can't breathe in case I take them in Then I'd lose my mind I believe that you believe in you Still reeling from the words you uttered Feel sick enough to let you win Recognising The trouble with me Is my troubles with you Sometimes you make me feel Like I'm everybody's fool The trouble with me Is my troubles with you You'd like me to believe I need no one but you I stumble from your juiced up promises Can't believe what I forgave in you Too scared by what you think I'm living for So distorted Stupid me I should have listened to you anyway Between the line I would have heard the truth So slick you coulda lied to anyone Now I see that You can run You can run away But I can run too Far enough to see You can run You can run today But I can run too Far enough to see the wrong in you I'll Try I don't understand nothing less Than this bitter release You standing firm but won't talk to me Makes it harder to hold on But I'll try I'll try I'll try Tell me how you feel and I'll try I don't know what you want from this Don't know nothing at all Just this vision that I can't leave Makes it harder to go on Tell me how you feel and I'll try We'll fight this regret And smother the doubt We'll conquer this We'll conquer regret And smother the doubt
You've Made Your Bed I'm a one night stand Screwed the whole damn year Cos your sneaky face Comes streaked with tears But I'm not joyful lover I tell no lies So you won't just get away with it Without a fight Now it's my turn to tell you You can't keep turning to me When she ain't coming home You can't keep flirting with me You've made your bed Go lie in it alone I'm the rotten cause That keeps true girls down Cause these tears of a heart Will have us all drowned But I'm no willing cover I seek no praise So you won't be getting away with it On sorry days I'm your contraband Your smugglers whore I collude with you When you want more But it's clear to me You thrive on my fear So it's time to aid the enemy And get the hell out of here
As Long As That's True Tell me this fight Was just a cause That we will die With there flaws I know it's meaningless But that is what we all face As long as that's true I can get over you Tell me you used me to climb Above us poor souls (standing) in line For me a lot of pain Is what I need to pull me through Wanna feel this hatred It's what I need to drag me through this I survive through nothing less It tears me up as you calmly use it Love abuse is just a test Then sad old love songs Stick the knife in deeper everyday Twisting as you play Tell me your reasons Weren't pure So I can kill This wretched lust for you Some damage done Is what I need to go alone As long as that's true I can get over you
Burnt Like You You'll always be a born Worn out loser Still blaming all of us For your bad choosing No I can't watch the same mistake Waiting for the boys to turn out straight No I can't run the same dog race And get burnt like you You're swollen in the gut From all those last nights Still swinging vodka punches That don't land right 'Til Morning comes Take these sore eyes I've no use for them Now I feel there's Nothing left to see Take your moment It's not important It's destined for my Fading memory Ma baby 'Til then sleep so completely So discreetly In my arms 'Til then lie So convincingly Stll I'll stay here 'Till the morning comes Take your satisfaction If it makes it worth it And take your little tricks When you leave

I walked into the sea Those waves, they came for me Egged on by scarlet sun But I will never burn My eyes stay liquid free Not phased by chemistry The whole nine yards I see Striding through the haze Just let the sun Shine on your face Only the darkness blinds your way You take it easy You walk on your own Look for the sunshine you'll find your way home Just let the sun Shine on your face Special, these dirty deeds That floods my pretty dreams I snap awake from love Relieved I'm on my own Fearless and tacky free Guided by empathy Still you're not lost on me I still smell the sea Just let the sun Shine on your face Only the darkness blinds your way You take it easy You walk on your own Look for the sunshine you'll find your way home Just let the sun Shine on your face You'll make it (x3) Ooh, just let the sun The sun You just need the sun The sun Ooh Just let the sun (just let the sun) Shine on your face (shine on your face) Only the darkness blinds your way (only the darkness. blinds your way) You take it easy (you take it easy) You walk on your own (walk on your own) Look for the sunshine you'll find your way home (look for the sunshine. find your way home) Just let the sun Shine on your face Purple
Purple washes over me Seeping through my open seams I'm stained all over You pretend we've started again Waiting for me to say when But I say purple She won't go where I I would go for you I'd curse my heart For you Silence makes a girl talk fast Speeding but I'm gonna crash And burn for loves sake Duty keeps a lover loyal But is it really worth the spoils When I dream purple She won't go where I I would go for you I'd curse my heart She won't go where I I would go for you I'd curse my heart For you Ooooh She won't go where I I would go for you I'd curse my heart She won't go where I I would go for you I'd curse my heart For you For you For you Don't Need A Reason
You're on ecstasy I'm on herbal tea Take a napkin out Wipe the sweaty brow Hail a dirty cab Stinks of beer and shags Can't get home too soon I don't need a reason To take a little ride with you I don't need a reason To take a little ride with you I can't find my keys You break in with ease Slap you 'round your face Kiss you with sweet haste Spinning 'round the room Morning rides too soon Still it's perfect for fools I don't need a reason To take a little ride with you I don't need a reason To take a little ride with you Don't need a reason To take a little ride with you Don't need no reason To take a little ride with you You're still off your skull This is getting dull Days are dragging past I will never last Then you cling so rough I melt into lust Can't pretend to play good I don't need a reason To take a little ride with you I don't need a reason To take a little ride with you Don't need a reason To take a little ride with you Don't need no reason To take a little ride with you (breakdown) To take a little ride with you Don't need a reason To take a little ride with you Don't need a reason To take a little ride with you Don't need no reason To take a little ride with you Don't need no reason To take a little ride with you Don't need no reason To take a little ride with you Don't need a reason To take a little ride with you Don't need no reason To take a little ride with you Nothing But

( L'empire des loups Soundtrack )
There's no point in being careful I'll burn bridges anyway There's no point in talking vicious (I've) nothing cutting left to say I've achieved my own survival I've refined my own sweet hell There's no point in craving beauty When you'll tear me anyhow If I look you in the eye I swear I'll die 'Cos you kill everything you love Should I scar my face To find my peace While you kill everything you love There's no point in sitting silent There's no reason to stay calm I've no means to look resentful ('Cos) everybody you will charm (I'm) crowded out by stupid duty Smothered dead by your distain There's no point in shouting angry ('Cos) there's no reason i should stay
La Canzone Che Scrivo Per Te ( Marlene Kuntz feat. Skin )
Non c'' contatto di mucosa con mucosa Eppur mi infetto di te, Che arrivi e porti desideri e capogiri In versi appassionati e indirizzati a me; E porgi in dono la tua essenza misteriosa, Che fu un brillio fugace qualche notte fa; E fanno presto a farsi vivi i miei sospiri Che alle pareti vanno a dire "ti vorrei qua". Questa ' la canzone che scrivo per te: L'ho promessa ed eccola. Riesci a scorgerti? S' che ci sei, Prima che ti conoscessi. Ora ho il tuo splendido sorriso da succhiare Sfavilla di felicit'. L'osservo su dalla tua fronte vanitosa Che ai miei baci ha chiesto la priorit' Pure frigid waters from these eyes that always miss you Nothing but violence from my empty gun I'm using silver to light up these blackheart faces blinding your fingers with my skin that burns for you Questa ' la canzone che scrivo per te: l'ho promessa ed eccola. Riesci a scorgerti? S' che ci sei, Proprio mentre ti conosco. This song is for me I listen like I promised you I can see me in your words from hell That you write for me E ho le tue mani da lasciarmi accarezzare il cuore Immune da difese che non servono. Ma ora ho in testa il viso di qualcuno pi' speciale di me, Che sa cantare ma ha pi' stemmi da lustrare di me...e questo ' il tuo svago. Per quel che mi riguarda sei un continente obliato. Per quel che ho visto in fondo mi ' piaciuto. Don't, don't tell me. What you want from me No, don't tell me. I don't wanna hear. Don't tell me Questa ' la canzone che scrivo per te: L'ho promessa ed eccola. Riesci a scorgerti? Non ci sei pi', Dopo che ti ho conosciuta

You taste what you want from me You taste all of the gristle From the bones I need To stand up to you to live up to fools It's too troubling Can't take what you like from me Can't take all of the vision That your money thieves Don't be careless now Just a pretty babe A cool covering You can't hide - No You can't hide the way you feel (You're just) dead inside this meat That you're smothering You can't run - No You just stumble crash and cry (Without) asking questions why It's all crumbling Dark eyes beauties never cheap Dark hair, dark lips maybe That I want to cheat (See my) sorry face (In this) love that fails It's all good for me Slick baby that ain't worrying Slick rage, strong is the ego That I want to test In your head of lies Cut me down to size It's all credible You can't hide - No You can't hide the way you feel (You're just) dead inside this meat That you're smothering You can't run - No You just stumble crash and cry (Without) asking questions why Pure fear that you're falling for These tears, thick in the sadness That was running before Welling up in dread For a softer bed I'm not worrying You're so sane, all the lines you shed So cool so good the picture For those crazy hoods Got this gun for keeps Stick it in this meat I'm not hurrying You can't hide - No You can't hide the way you feel (You're just) dead inside this meat That you're smothering You can't run - No You just stumble crash and cry (Without) asking questions why It's all crumbling You can't hide - No You can't hide the way you feel (You're just) dead inside this meat That you're smothering

On and On
( Trashed single )
What you see ain't what you get You truly try but soon forget The trouble that I smell in you It leaves me blind to your abuse Still I can hear What you don't know Broken down while Pain around me goes On and on Disaffected painted love I challenge you to be the one Who loves me like some sacred soul And feels in me a gorgeous home You're the one Who brings me down But I'm the one To turn it around
Only vultures ( Just let the sun EP ) I see you Bull-dogs eyes I see you Barely concious I can't be understood So feed me To the vultures Only vultures Only vultures The vultures Pickin' at me The vultures Only vultures Only vultures Pickin' at me Oh, I hear you Licking at my bones Hardy party On a school day Must be crazy You crack my teeth ??? Only vultures Only vultures The vultures Picking at me Only vultures The vultures Only vultures Picking at me Wouah, ok Vultures Picking at me Only vultures Only vultures The vultures Picking at me Only vultures Only vultures The vultures Picking at me Only vultures The vultures vultures Picking at me Picking at me Wouah, vultures Picking at me, me Vultures Picking at me
Petrol station flowers
( Just let the sun EP )
Taste your dark breath On the darkness I see saliva form on the corners Of your bitter mouth You're trembling, is it guilt or lust You smell of everesence I can't tear you down See our stories stolen Killing 'em for happy ground You're bending all the blues again (?) You just say, take it easy Things will shine our way Then how come, you bring me Petrol station flowers How come, you can pretend that you don't know It's obvious, our life is like a graveyard Beautiful, but stone cold dead. I'm on the underground With my posies Crushed against the door And feeling like a nasty thought Must be more to love Than the way I'm caught (?) You just say, take it easy Things will shine our way Then how come, you bring me Petrol station flowers How come, you can pretend that you don't know It's obvious, our life is like a graveyard Beautiful, but stone cold dead Dead. And I see your face Come rocking out the door I'm shouting at you Still I'm coming back for more We're drowning now But still we go on and on and on and on and on. How come you bring me Petrol station flowers How come, you still pretend that you don't know It's obvious, our life is like a graveyard Beautiful, beautiful How come you bring me Petrol station flowers How come, you still pretend that you don't know It's obvious, our life is like a graveyard Beautiful, beautiful How come How come How come Wouah, beautiful, but stone cold dead
Yesterday ( The Beatles Cover / Live ) Yesterday All my troubles seemed so far away Now it looks as though they're here to stay Oh, I believe in yesterday Suddenly I'm not half the girl I used to be There's a shadow hanging over me Oh, yesterday came suddenly Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say I said something wrong Now I long for yesterday Yesterday Love was such an easy game to play Now I need another place to stay Oh, I believe in yesterday Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say I said something wrong Now I long for yesterday Yesterday Love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away Oh, I believe in yesterday
You Can't Find Peace
( Pale 3 featuring Skin / The Princess & the Warrior OST )
I sit and wait While you fight this man You taste when kissing me I used this time To pace through our days Before our life begins Then you'll see that I'm your god Corrupt your soul and Let the blood go You can't find peace Without my persistence I'll break the resistance I see in you There's no release Without my incredible resilience To your will to grieve Believe in me I won't crush your beauty I'll just lick it clean Don't try to fall Cuz I'll crawl the way You're harder than I'll show Devastation I will find Dreaming afraid by your side You can't find peace Without my persistence I'll break the resistance I see in you There's no release Without my incredible resilience To your will to grieve You can't find peace Without my persistence I'll break the resistance I see in you There's no release Without my incredible resilience To your will to grieve
