"First We Started Like The Creatures That We Knew With Tunes Suggested By The Drum Tunings. Siouxsie Came Up With The Melody For 'Manchild' Playing Drums Herself."
“Siouxsie Saw A News Story About Two Villages In Colombia Who Have Been Feuding Over A Drug Cartel. One Town Had A Vendetta To Wipe Out All The Males Of The Other Town Until There Was Just One Boy Left. But Then He Was Shot At A Bus Stop On His Way To School. The Only Uplifting Part Of It Was That The Women Were Safe In The Notion That Some Of Them Were Pregnant And The Village Would Not Disappear. But It Was A Shocking Strange Incident And Inspired The Lyrics.”
“The Flamenco Dancers On This Came From The Local Ballet School. We Had One Mike At Their Feet One On The Hands And We Just Gave Them The 808 Through A Speaker. Obviously We Couldn’t Have It Very Loud So I Had To Stand There Conducting Madly. We Knew Roughly The Arrangement But We Didn’t Let Them Hear It.” Budgie
