The Anal Staircase Lyrics

The angels kiss our souls in bliss
Measure the extent of a dizzying descent
Down the anal staircase
Down the anal staircase
Put just one foot on the staircase
And the next step you're down here on this face
Down the anal staircase

And the rapids of my heart
Will tear your ship of love apart
And we'll end up wrecked
We'll end up at the start
Of the anal staircase
And the angels kiss our souls in bliss
Measure the extent of a dizzying descent
Down the anal staircase
Down the anal staircase

Take a hollowpoint revolver
Right down the rapids of your heart
Blow the fucking thing apart
Blow the fucking thing apart

One step, two step, three step, four step

It sounds like it\'s about ass eating and fucking.\n\nGiven the title "Anal Staircase", the lyric "the angels kiss our souls in bliss" seems to mean someone is eating our assholes (soul/heart = asshole). \n\nThen "next step you\'re down here on this face" means they swap positions and the person sits on his face to get their asshole licked.\n\nFinally:\n"a hollow point revolver" = a cock \n"right down the rapids of your heart" = up your ass (soul/heart = asshole)\n"blow that fucking thing apart" = you\'re getting buttfucked!

My Interpretation

'Anal Staircase' is tied up with the tantric concept of Kundalini. John Peel phoned us and said he liked the song, but that he could not play it due to the sound of children screaming in the background. He had also heard that it was recordings of the Moors-murderers Myra Hinley and Ian Brady in the background, but neither of it is true. What you hear is the sound of a friend of ours playing with his child, and neither is there any recording of the Moors-murderers there. The whole thing sounds suspicious, but it really just innocent play. People are so hysterical....
