Suburban Relapse Lyrics
I'm sorry that I hit you
but my string snapped
I sorry I disturbed your cat-nap
but whilst finishing a chore
I asked myself "what for"
then something snapped,
I had a relapse...A Suburban relapse
I was washing up the dishes
minding my own business
when my string snapped
I had a relapse...A Suburban relapse
[Should I]
Throw things at the neighbours
expose myself to strangers?
kill myself or...you?
now memory gets hazy?
I think I must be crazy
but my string snapped
I had a relapse...A Suburban relapse
(repeat last four lines)

The meaning of this song is rather obvious, but meaningful at the same time. I love this song, it's radddd Siouxsie is amazing.
we all have suburban relapses. its actually primal. we get sick of shit.
SIOUXSIE: "It's committing a crime under the stresses of everyday life. Being so confused and... I don't know how anyone can be a judge, an actual one in court". Source: Melody Maker 21/10/78.
I think this song has even more relevence today than ever.
